Universal Audio to Create TDM Versions of Plug-Ins
October 7, 2002
Universal Audio announced that they
will release TDM versions of their popular Powered Plug-Ins. In
addition, Universal Audio will be upgrading many of the plug-ins sold
previously under the brand name Kind of Loud to support TDM HD and
sell these new versions under the Universal Audio brand name. All
the Universal Audio TDM plugs will support Pro Tools HD and all will
also support Apple Macintosh OS X next year.
Universal Audio's vintage compressor emulations, the
1176LN and LA-2A will be the first plugs-in available for TDM,
followed closely by the Pultec EQ. Existing Kind of Loud TDM
plug-ins that will be upgraded to support HD will include the Smart
Code Pro surround encoders and RealVerb 5.1. In addition, Universal
Audio has announced that two new plug-ins, a high-end reverb,
DreamVerb and theCambridge EQ, will also be released as TDM /HD
versions. Registered owners of existing Kind of Loud TDM products,
will be able to upgrade to the new HD-compatible Universal Audio
versions for a nominal fee.
"We consider the addition of the Universal Audio plug-ins to be a big
boost to the Pro Tools platform," said Ed Gray, Digidesign's Director
of Partnering Programs, "The quality of their vintage compressor and
EQ emulations is indisputable."
Universal Audio TDM HD plug-ins will begin shipping in Q4 2002.
