A Trio of Classic UAD Powered Plug-Ins You'll Use on Everything.
The Mix Essentials Pro Bundle is the ideal entry into the world of UAD Powered Plug-Ins, and a “must-have” for any UAD plug-in collection. This fantastic bundle combines three of our best-selling and extremely versatile plug-ins into one conveniently packaged and price-reduced bundle; you’ll save nearly 20% compared with buying the plug-ins à la carte. Specifically, the Mix Essentials Pro Bundle covers all of your recording bases by giving you great-sounding Compression (Teletronix® LA-2A), EQ (Neve® 1073), and Reverb (Plate 140) — the linchpins of any professional mix. For many UAD users, this trio represents a true “desert island” collection.
Teletronix® LA-2A Classic Leveling Amplifier
The Teletronix LA-2A Leveling Amplifier is practically the definition of tube-based vintage audio gear. The unit’s original Opto-Electrical attenuator circuit is responsible for the incredibly rich, warm compression found in countless classic recordings over the last 40 years. Universal Audio studied not just the LA-2A hardware’s sound, but how each component interacted and behaved under a full range of studio conditions — giving you that smooth, ultra-musical sound that’s magic on vocals in particular. In fact, the word "emulation" hardly does this Powered Plug-In justice. It is, more accurately, a “digital copy” of the Teletronix LA-2A, and upholds all the classic, analog characteristics of the original with unprecedented clarity and sound quality.
Neve® 1073/SE Classic Console EQ
The Neve 1073/SE Classic Console EQ plug-in is derived from revered Neve consoles such as the 8014. This easy-to-use EQ is famous for adding otherwise unattainable sheen and clarity to music tracks. Modeling the 3-band EQ and high-pass filter with painstaking detail and thoroughness, Universal Audio’s Neve 1073 EQ delivers the same sonic experience of its analog cousin with exacting detail. This is the only officially licensed and endorsed — and undeniably the most accurate — emulation of a true Neve analog classic, now available to anyone recording on a Mac or PC.
Plate 140 Reverb
The Plate 140 stunningly replicates the sonic signature of three uniquely different EMT® 140 plate reverbs installed at The Plant Studios in Sausalito, California. For those who’ve never used a true plate reverb on their tracks, there is nothing quite like the wonderfully lush and distinctive tone it produces. Physically and financially impractical or impossible in the past, getting warm musical plate reverb sounds is now as easy as our popular Plate 140 Powered Plug-In.
Note: All UAD Powered Plug-Ins require a UAD-2 or previous-generation UAD-1 card, as well as the latest version of the Powered Plug-Ins software, available here.
