UAD Powered Plug-Ins
UAD plug-ins are the software titles containing audio signal processing algorithms such
as compressors, equalizers, mic preamps, guitar amps, and special effects. Each UAD
plug-in contains various control parameters that can be adjusted to achieve the desired
sonic results.
The Authentic Sound of Analog
From project studios to multi-platinum mix engineers, UAD Powered Plug-Ins have been
winning over audio professionals for more than 15 years with their stunning analog
sound. The UAD library now features more than 90 plug-ins, co-created with the biggest
brands in audio. Developed by UA’s world-renowned team of DSP engineers, UAD plug-ins
set the standard by which all other audio plug-ins are judged.

Plug-In Host Applications
UAD plug-ins are loaded within a host application (such as Apollo Solo’s Console or a
DAW) for signal processing of the host’s audio signals on Apollo Solo’s integrated UAD-2
DSP accelerator. UAD plug-ins are typically used in Console for Realtime UAD Processing
when monitoring and tracking, and in a DAW when mixing and mastering. UAD plug-ins
are provided in VST, AAX-64, and Audio Units formats for compatibility with all major
DAWs.
Tip: When loaded in Apollo Solo’s Console application, UAD plug-ins run in real
time, with indiscernible latency, completely independent of the DAW’s I/O buffer
size setting.
Bundled & Optional Plug-Ins
Apollo Solo includes a variety of UAD plug-ins bundled with the device, and optional
UAD plug-in licenses can be purchased at the UA online store.
