Critic Reviews

George Shilling reviews Universal Audio UAD Plugins

recordproduction.com

Universal Audio's UAD plugins deliver exceptional sound quality and emulations that are hard to beat, making them a staple for any serious producer. The Precision Buss Compressor and SPL Transient Designer shine with innovative features, though some classic models exhibit slight shortcomings compared to their hardware counterparts. While the Helios Type 69 EQ impresses with its character and musicality, its heavy DSP demands can restrict usability, especially on older systems. Additionally, latency issues hinder real-time recording. Ultimately, these plugins are a must-have for mixing but require consideration of hardware constraints.
