Advanced Audio Rentals Purchases Universal Audio UAD-2 Quad Omni

Advanced Audio Rentals has purchased the Universal Audio UAD-2 Quad Omni SHARC-based DSP processing

platform for immediate rental. Rent it stand alone for your favorite DAW, or integrate it into one of our top of the line ProTools HD 2.0 systems!

The UAD-2 QUAD Omni Pak combines Universal Audio’s revolutionary new DSP acceleration hardware with all the available UA Powered Plug-Ins—up to and including those in UAD Software version 5.1—a total of 34 world class plug-ins! UA's Powered Plug-In library brings the most sonically revered studio processors from the past 50 years of audio to your DAW, including vintage equalizers and compressors, superior precision mastering tools, special processing, lush reverbs, and the most accurate, officially licensed hardware emulations from Neve, Roland, Boss, SPL, Moog, and more.

At the heart of the UAD-2 QUAD are 4 cutting-edge SHARC® 21369 floating-point processors 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 automated-delay compensation via Mellowmuse’s ATA. 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.
