Additionally registered UAD-1 owners will be rewarded with bonus UAD$ vouchers for buying any UAD-2 before the end of 2008.
An included UAD$50 plug-in voucher can be used at the UA online store 24/7 to select from UA's entire library of world-class plug-ins. Preview the current lineup of plug-ins via fully functional 14-day demos. Audition each one to hear how it works for your music and buy the plug-ins you really want.
At the heart of the UAD-2 Solo is the cutting-edge SHARC(R) 21369 floating-point processor which allows for larger and more sophisticated processing algorithms, and a level of power and complexity not found with host-based plug-ins. By reducing the burden on your computer's CPU, your host application can now deliver more tracks, automation, virtual instruments and native effects.
All UAD-2's feature the completely re-designed v5 software with a myriad of new performance and convenience enhancing features like LODE (Live Optimizing DSP Engine) which intelligently balances resources for maximum plug-in count, LiveTrack ( low-latency mode) making it possible to monitor instruments through Powered Plug-Ins, and improved RTAS/Protool LE support including auto-delay compensation via MellowMuse's ATA (a $49 value, free for all UAD-2 users). The all-new unified Meter & Control Panel for UAD-1 and UAD-2 improves and streamlines Status Monitoring, Plug Purchasing, Help & Support and Software Updates. Also new for UAD-2 is the UA website which has been completely redesigned with integrated A/V Demo's, tutorials, in-depth webzine articles, FAQ's and enhanced support so you can really get the most out of your UAD-2.
