UAD-2 PCIe DSP Accelerator Cards

Awesome quality, highly recommended! I have all the Waves plug in's and I like the UAD-2 card's plug in's much better.

This product is wonderful and very efficient.
The hardware upgrade is a fantastic idea!

I love this card. I replaced an older UAD-1 during the $200 trade-in promotion, and bought and installed without any problems the new UAD-2 Quad, which worked perfectly with the other UAD-2 Quad I have in the PC. The processing power of the plugins on the cards allow my PC to run countless versions of DSPs on multiple tracks, which leaves my PC to record and play virtual and soft synth instruments. Having the $500 voucher allowed me to purchase some new plugins I really wanted too, which makes the flexi a good deal.

I loved my UAD-1e. The trade in special was a no brainer for me. I always planned to move to a UAD-2 but the trade in special just made it sooner. The emulations are top notch as always.

My one and only problem with this card is that Pro Tools (although it officially supports the card) will not run with any reliability with even one instance of a UA plugin running. I don't blame Universal Audio for that. I blame the DAW. I also use Samplitude and Sonar. Both work flawlessly with the UAD-2 Solo.

It's an excellent product.

Finally 

I'v been dreaming about the UAD 2 quad core card for years. finally got it and it was every thing I hoped it would be and more. I actually purchased a Duo & Quad at the same time.    

I just can't believe the stability of it in comparison to the UAD 1 card. I use to get crashes any time I attempted automation , but this thing can handle anything I through at it. It just doesn't quit.

I feel like I'm dreaming and this can't be real. 

About a month ago I purchased the UAD-2 SOLO DSP Accelerator, At first I was not impressed with these effects, I auditioned almost all of them at the same time.
Then I started to use a few of them together, the sound improved a lot.
Now I have a $500 voucher, that came with this system, to buy effects and I can't decide what to buy because the 14 days trial expired.
It would be nice if Universal Audio would allow to reaudition these effects even if they would put in a click every minute or so.

My advise to anyone buying this system, audition only a few effects at the time.

Hi the included plugins are nice. I mostly got this for reverbs. I use the real verb pro for Stereo Reverb busses on Drums Vocals and Music(everything else). I added the emt 140 for Vocals and 250 for Snare, toms, tambourines claps ... I really love the EMTs...

I've been using UAD plugin for years. Every project has them all over it.

I don't think I could mix as well without the 1176 & 1073.
Very stable and makes me very confident that they work as advertised each and every time without a hitch!

UA support is also top-notch. That have helped me a few times over the years and have always been a pleasure to speak with.
Keep it up!

I had 2 uad-1 but always had to think twice to use the precision multiband compressor now with uad-2 duo that is not a problem anymore.Thanks!

Hi !
I took the offer to give back my old UAD-1 Cards for a rebate on a UAD-2 Duo.
I had a UAD-2 Solo before. What can I say ? The DUO does exact what I expect - it works (fine) :-)

Best Plug-ins in the Universe! just bought my second UAD-2 and I love them! Thank you Universal Audio!!!

The UAD 2 Duo systems has been a Godsend! I've been mixing with it for several over 6 months and it always gets used during mix and tracking! I would love to get a UAD Quad just so I can run more plugins!

I truly like UA's dynamic plugins, especially the LA-2. It's a very effective compressor and limiter! I've listened to some samples of other UA plugins and they're all very good! But with one exception, the Analog Reel-To-Reel Tape Machines by Ampex and Studer; they just don't have that "Body and Open Space" like the real ones back in days. Hey, we can't have it all. UA overall creates great gears for professionals and those who want to become professionals!

Thanks UA!

Fantastic resource. The plugins sound fantastic. The interface and control panel is amazing. The Universal Audio website and Account Center is easy, organized, and so useful. I use UAD2 on every production and mix I do. Thanks for providing great products UA!

best plugins for music market, amazing precision limiter, SPL® Transient Designer
and SSL G Series Bus Compressor

Great sounding plug-ins with a powerful card. I have the Waves Platinum bundle and 3 other Waves bundles, and I hardly use any of them any more since the UAD plugs are so much better. No one else gets their models this close to the original hardware.

An amazing stuff, which gives a fantastic results that non other plug-ins can give.I always use to miss something in my mixes,which frustrated me....after using UAD, all my worries are . UAD works like a good surgeon who treats a patient like a baby.Every one knows that a recording and mixing is not a easy task...but for those engineers who have UAD mixing is smooth an satisfactory. UAD, for me, personally is a great asset for my recording and mixing.

Excellent product for having topnotch effect plugins like the Lexicon 224, Dimension D, RE-201 and the EP-34. No other plugins maker has that "sound" captured so good. The big plus is... when you worked all your time with the "real" deal and working now with the plugs. It's the same layout, you can dail in so quickly your sound that you need. Top Notch!
Dream setup (4xQuad)

UA has not let me down yet.... Loving my UAD-2 Duo Card/Plugs! If you own Pro Tools Native this is a must have. The V6.1 makes it so easy because it does not require the RTAS wrapper once needed! We all know once you start mixing along with having VI in Pro tools you run into CPU usage hikes. Nice thing is what plugs you use DOES NOT TAX your PT sessions. 1176/LA2a along rock!!! Can't wait to add to plugs to my UAD-2... Actually I want another UAD-2 DUO!
