Universal Audio UAD Software v7.11 Features New Plug-Ins From Manley, Brainworx And Massenburg Designworks

A new Universal Audio UAD software, version 7.11, has been released and contains four new UAD plugins starting with a UA/Manley co-developed recreation of the Manley Vari-Mu Limiter Compressor. The new plug-ins also include a Brainworx-developed recreation of the Vertigo Sound VSM-3 Mix Satellite and Vertigo Sound VSC-2 Compressor, plus a UAD edition of the powerful Massenburg DesignWorks MDWEQ5 EQ Plug-In.

The December 2014 issue of audioXpress signals the start of a new fascinating article series by Ron Tipton, which traces the evolution from mono to present-day binaural recording with practical experiments and examples. We review Universal Audio’s Apollo Twin Thunderbolt-based audio interface and conclude George Adamidis’ “Build Your Own Audio Mixer” project and discuss “Correct Tube Amplification for Headphones Operation.”

Shipping early October and compatible with Thunderbolt-equipped Macs, new Universal Audio’s Satellite QUAD and OCTO DSP accelerators offer improved performance at higher sample rates and reduced plug-in latency versus FireWire. Also available are the UAD-2 OCTO PCIe Ultimate 3 cards with dozens of UA-developed UAD Powered Plug-Ins.

Universal Audio announced the release of its new Thermionic Culture Vulture Plug-In for the UAD Powered Plug-Ins platform and Apollo audio interfaces. This is a circuit emulation of the legendary British-made Thermionic Culture“all-valve” boutique distortion hardware. Uncanny!
