The UAD 4k Channel Strip contains a filter section, expander/gate, compressor and four‑band EQ, emulating the much favoured Type E 'black knob' EQ found in earlier SSL consoles. Both are available for UAD1 and UAD2, in all the usual plug‑in formats. According to the manual, both plug‑ins are exact (albeit unofficial and unlicensed) emulations of the relevant modules from the SSL 4000G+ desk, which has been the console of choice for many hit mixers over the past 25 years. The latest additions (addictions?) model the channel strip and bus compressor sections from an SSL console. They've also been busy adding new plug‑ins to the range, many of which mimic the sound and performance of vintage gear. Last year's release of the UAD2 cards gave Universal Audio's DSP platform a healthy performance boost, and ensured compatibility with future systems, thanks to the jump to SHARC DSPs and PCI‑e connectivity. Just in case the line‑up of plug‑ins available for the UAD cards wasn't tempting enough already, Universal Audio have now added emulations of classic SSL hardware.
