Plug-In Host Applications
UAD plug-ins are loaded within a host application (such as Apollo Solo USB’s Console or
a DAW) for signal processing of the host’s audio signals on Apollo Solo USB’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 and AAX 64 formats for compatibility with all major
DAWs.
Tip: When loaded in Apollo Solo USB’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 USB 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.
