UAD-1 3.0, Dreamverb and Cambridge EQ.
| Sunday January 19, 2003. 02:01 AM | Plug-ins > Universal Audio |
The UAD-1 Software turns 3.0 and is a free download for registered UAD-1 users. The multicard support on Macs will be included in the next upgrade for OS X (ahhhhh!) during Q2.
Cambridge is a five-band fully parametric EQ, features high and low cut filters with a wide variety of filter types and curves, and switchable shelving filters for each EQ band. Cambridge uses complex lattice filters and a special algorithm to achieve a warm analog sound without oversampling. An A/B function allows for quick comparison. Cambridge also features a graphic display of the EQ curve, which has "edit handles" for click and drag control of the EQ parameters, plus editable text displays for parameter values.
Dreamverb, Universal Audio's flagship stereo reverb plug-in for the Mackie UAD-1, draws on the flexibility of RealVerb Pro. Its intuitive and powerful interface allows you create an acoustic space from a huge list of different materials and room shapes. These acoustic spaces can be customized to great detail by blending or "morphing" different room shapes and surface materials, adjusting the effect of the room materials on the sound space, and even varying the density of the air to simulate different ambient situations.
Dreamverb also features a flexible 5-band active EQ and unique level ramping for the early and late reflections for sounds ranging from ultra-realistic dynamic room simulations to lush reverb effects. And with Universal Audio's proprietary smoothing algorithm, all parameters can be adjusted in real-time with no "zipper-noise"' or audible artifacts.
The Cambridge EQ will be available separately in Q2 2003 from Mackie dealers worldwide at $149 and $89 for current registered users.
DreamVerb free download for registered UAD-1 users on the Mackie and Universal Audio websites beginning in Q2 2003.
