UAD-1 Software Version 3.0 Previewed at AESSupport For Multiple Cards and a New EQ Plug-In October 7, 2002
Mackie Designs Inc. and Universal Audio today provided a preview of their
upcoming Windows 3.0 software release for the Mackie UAD-1 DSP card
with Powered Plug-Ins. Version 3.0, in addition to supporting the use
of multiple UAD-1 cards in a single PC, supports Cambridge, a new EQ
plug-in. The UAD-1 and Powered Plug-Ins were developed by Universal
Audio Inc. and are marketed and distributed worldwide by Mackie
Designs Inc.
"We are very excited about 3.0," said Universal Audio co-founder Bill
Putnam. "The Cambridge EQ, with its surgical percision, is the
perfect compliment to the warm, musical Pultec. And the ability to
use multiple cards in a single machine has been the number one
request from our users for some time. The amount of processing power
you can get into your PC now is just awesome!"
In addition to its five-band, fully parametric EQ, Cambridge features
a high and low cut with a wide variety of filter types and curves.
Cambridge uses high-precision filter structures and proprietary
alogorithms to achieve warm analog sound. An A/B function allows for
quick comparison of two different settings. Cambridge also features a
graphic display of the EQ curve, which has "edit handles" for click
and drag control of the EQ parameters. Cambridge will be the first
Universal Audio plug-in for the UAD-1 platform to be sold separately.
