UAD-2 PCIe DSP Accelerator Cards

very cool performance

I started up now to the UAD2 dimension with a new computer. I use the Plugs since 5 years (before UAD1) in my mastering studio in berlin and I'm sure: these are the best Plugs for mastering I know. I'm very happy with my new power. and curious to the new plugs like the Manley EQ. :))

unfortunately nothing new as I have traded in from a uad 1 (an undesired purchase) and also waited more than one month after purchase with no communication from the retailer...

I have one of these already. I had a UAD-1 card left over ( I used to have 3) when the deal of the century came up. If you were a "1" user and didn't take advantage of the Trade-In Deal, you missed out. I've been a fan for some time now, and the new plugs available for the "2" are nothing short of amazing. Keep em' coming UA, I don't have them all , but I'm working on it.

i have now 8 UAD2 cores ...

and lets say 75% of the plugins already and will buy all of them !


i love everything about UA, their history, their quality, their phylosophy and the way they take good care of their clients !

Added to my Flexi card. Now the power drain on the computer is almost as expected, in the ProTools LE world.

Great product!

Thanks,

I've been using 2 UAD-1 cards for years now, with a bunch of purchased plugins like some of the Precision series or Cambridge EQ, that I use in almost every track when I mix.

As soon as I connected the UAD-2 QUAD (when my new computer was suitable for it, because the PCI-e, of course) I recognized the difference right away.
Is not only that it have four processor in one card (instead of one per card as I had) but is the overall stability, the speed of PCI-e conection, etc. Everything make it much more "flowy".

Now I already forget about the limitations. It is much more fun to work with, no problem if I was using some EMT reverb plugin (needs quite a lot of power), I can charge many instances + the rest.

Amazing job with this one!

It's a worthwhile addition to any Pro Tools rig, particularly given the dearth of plugins for HDX at the moment. I do somewhat regret not purchasing the Quad as, at 96k, you can't run a lot of plugins on the Duo - really, it's suitable for one or two plugins on the master buss and some auxiliaries. The Ampex and Studer plugins are superb (if perhaps a little easy to overuse).

Let's not pull any punches here. This is a little bad boy DSP processor. I replaced my 1E with it and it out pro-forms it. Sweet like candy. For the price it's the best way to get onto the platform. Expansion has been made so easy due to the fab drivers just keep adding cards. To keep it real, everyone who's anyone and no ones use these cards. It's a must.

By offering a discount to upgrade to UAD-2 cards, I was glad to see that UA did not totally abandon the UAD-1 customers without giving us, first a heads ups and then a reasonable trade-in offer.

only caan say you rock the best plug ins the prooos

This is perhaps the wisest investment I have ever made into my computer audio line up.
'Nuff said!

All in all this is an excellent product but some of the plugins such as the Lexicon will cause the computer to crash. Judging by the feedback on some of the forums it seems as if I'm not the only one.

For logic users it's very helpful to check your settings to avoid latency on the buses etc. but it's not too terribly hard to figure it out. I'd also recommend running at 64bit.

It would have been nice to customize the plugin suite as there are quite a few plugins that I would never use and several that I wished I could have substituted for.

More horsepower and a couple of great plugs I didn't already have - the trade up deal from my old UAD-1 was a fantastic bargain. I can't mix without my UAD plugs and I'm delighted with the UAD-2.

I love it. I wouldn't want to be without it. The Precision Limiter alone would be the reason to have a UAD card.

I wanted this card for a long time, impressive quality, plugins are real, in my opnion a better alternative to protools HD. Thank you, Universal Audio.

Wow, this things got some juice! I recently upgraded from XP to Windows 7.
I upgraded from 2 UAD-1 PCI cards to the UAD-2 DUO. I opened up some of my old mixes that were tapped out, and man, there's plenty of power to spare.
I didn't even bother installing the UAD-1 cards, there's plenty of power with just one UAD-2 DUO card.
Now I have to check out some of the new UAD plugins, can't wait!

I was looking for more power, i already own an UAD 2 Duo.
Great Card as always, i don't put five stars, just because of the low instance count when using fatso.

Great to have access to the UA plugins! Now the fun begins :-)

Wow! Just streamlined my mastering workflow by 300%. With 3 UAD-@ solos, rendering with complex mastering chains takes 1/3 of the time it used to with 4 UAD-1s!

Great platform!
