The UAD-1 Studio Pak is the most powerful combination of DSP hardware and high-quality software plugins available for host-based Windows and Macintosh DAWs. At heart of the UAD-1 Studio Pak is the revolutionary UAD-1 DSP card. Because of its high resolution, floating point processing, ultra high-speed memory and hardware dithering, the UAD-1 delivers outstanding high-headroom sound quality at sample rates from 44.1 to 192khz. Unlike other DSP cards, the UAD-1 uses a single, unpartitioned processor allowing for larger and more sophisticated plug-in algorithms offering a new level of power and complexity not found with host-based plug-ins. By greatly reducing the burden on your computer’s CPU, your host application can now deliver more tracks, automation and native effects.

The UAD-1 Studio Pak is a sonic powerhouse including a complete suite of 20 UA plug-ins including the famous UA vintage emulations which utilize UA’s cutting-edge “Virtual Circuit” modeling techniques that capture every nuance of these classic hardware tools; the 1176LN, LA-2A, Pultec EQP-1A, and Fairchild 670. The UAD-1 also includes “UA Original” innovative plug-ins to enhance your productions including the Cambridge EQ, Nigel Guitar Processor, Channel Strip and the award-winning professional reverbs, RealVerb and DreamVerb.
