Universal audio’s UAD-1 is probably old news to a lot of folks , but I just picked one up and it’s pretty amazing. I own the waves and they sound great, but it took me awhile to appreciate their power and to understand what the heck i was doing. Software is not forgiving, it requires deliberate operation. I thought maybe I should leave we enough alone and not get involved in more software and a proprietary dsp.
Because of Universal audio’s rep and because I love my 1176’s sooo much I went out on a limb and tried the UAD. The only to describe it… sick!! The eqs have really really really smooth highs and nice round bottom. The 1176se sounds really really good too. This is basically my initial comments on this product but really it is worth every cent. I’ll delve into it more at a later date. I’m having too much fun mixing right now.
Definitely check the neve stuff and the roland space echo, oh and the plate 140. I own a space echo and this is pretty damn close. Actually the software version is more fun to use, with sync and automation.
Check it out on UA’s site….
