| Universal Audio UAD-2 Quad Omni Pak Details
The Universal Audio UAD-2 Quad Omni PCIe card not only do you gives you premium DSP card technology for serious plug-in processing, but you also get all of UA's premier powered plug-ins in one package! The UAD-2 Quad Omni delivers as much as 10 times the processing power of the UAD-1, so you can run even more plug-in instances on more tracks, allowing for a greatly enhanced in-the-box mixing experience. You can also spearhead the most demanding professional applications by mixing and matching other UAD-2 cards with the UAD-2 Quad Omni.
Includes the complete suite of powered plug-ins
The Universal Audio UAD-2 Quad Omni brings together all of Universal Audio's famous UA powered plug-ins - up to and including those in UAD Software version 5.1 - for an unprecedented amount of processing prowess, straight out of the box - and at huge savings! On top of a $50 plug-in voucher, you get a total of 34 world-class plug-ins, including the most revered studio processors from the past 5 decades. There are vintage equalizers and compressors, superb mastering tools, lush reverbs, and extraordinarily accurate hardware emulations from Neve, Roland, SPL, Boss, Harrison, Moog, Little Labs, and more. With the UAD-2 Quad Omni bundle, you'll save over $2,000 versus buying all those plug-ins separately - it's a smart choice for the serious music production studio.
Cutting-edge SHARC chip technology by Analog Devices
The new UAD-2 cards from Universal Audio take advantage of state-of-the-art chip technology. These SHARC chips boast 32-bit, floating-point architecture, for the ultimate in precision and performance. When combined in multi-chip configurations on PCIe cards, such as the 2-chip UAD-2 Quad Omni, the power potential is truly phenomenal.
Up to 10 times the processing power of the UAD-1
Featuring four of the premium SHARC chips, the UAD-2 Quad Omni is a powerful and professional PCIe card. It offers an incredible 10 times the processing power of the original UAD-1 card. What's more, Universal Audio has updated their plug-ins to take advantage of all this power, giving you premium plug-in sound and enough plug-in instances to experience unprecedented in-the-box mixing.
Use up to four cards together
While the power of each individual UAD-2 card, such as the UAD-2 Quad Omni, is incredible on its own, you can use cards in tandem with one another to meet the needs of even the most demanding sessions. In all, you can mix and match UAD-2 cards to create a maximum of a 4-card UAD-2 card system. Yet, you can also add up to four UAD-1 cards to the mix, for a complete 8-card powerhouse system.
Compatible with UAD-1 card cystems
If you already own a UAD-1 Card, you can enjoy even more processing power with the UAD-2 Quad Omni and other UAD-2 cards. The original UAD-1 cards work seamlessly with UAD-2 systems. Use up to four UAD-1 cards with up to four UAD-2 cards to get the most processing power possible.
SessionMap for UAD-1/UAD-2 session compatibility
The UAD-2 Quad Omni features SessionMap for bi-directional compatibility between UAD-1 and UAD-2 plug-in systems. You can share a session created on a UAD-2 card with a user on a UAD-1 card, and vice versa. The software will automatically determine which version of the plug-ins are available on the system and load them into the session, so you don't have to spend time doing any re-mapping.
LiveTrack Low-latency mode for tracking
Using UAD-2 Quad Omni's LiveTrack mode, you can reduce latency on active UAD-2 plug-ins to the lowest amount possible - ideal for monitoring rich, processed audio during the tracking stages.
LoadLock feature to ensure adequate DSP
By default, UAD-2 Quad Omni's LoadLock feature is turned on. This useful tool automatically reserves the maximum DSP load that each UAD-2 plug-in could ever demand - even if you're not using all of its features. This way, you can be positive you have enough DSP to engage all the features, such as writing automation, later in your mix, without making sonic compromises and pulling plug-ins down the line. If you prefer to manage your DSP resources manually, you can easily disable LoadLock.
$50 plug-in voucher
In addition to the tremendous plug-in package included with the UAD-2 Quad Omni, you get a $50 plug-in voucher that you can use toward any of Universal Audio's world-class plug-ins. Recognized as an industry leader in creating dead-on models of the most sought-after vintage gear, Universal Audio offers affordably-priced plug-in versions of everything from a Neve channel strip to a Fairchild compressor to the Roland Space Echo - and far, far beyond.
Even more plug-in options than before
Universal Audio exploited every drop of power technologically possible in designing the UAD-2 Quad Omni and their other state-of-the-art UAD-2 cards. Complementing the achievement, they've expanded their power on the sonic front as well. Already in partnership with top names, such as Neve, Roland, and Moog, Universal Audio is working on greatly expanding their plug-in line. Models in the works include the famous Empirical Labs Fatso, the acclaimed EQ from the Harrison 4032C, the Little Labs IBP, and various EQs, compressors, and gates from Valley People. And, with the potency packed in these new cards, Universal Audio has positioned themselves to develop new kinds of plug-ins entirely, including instruments and impulse-based reverb effects.
