The release of the UAD v9.2 software brings an Auto-Tune real-time plug-in from Antares, an SSL 4000 G Series Bus Compressor plug-in,  UA Plate reverb plug-in, Fuchs Train II Amplifier modelling from Brainworx and the Eden WT800 bass amplifier modelling plug-in from Softube.

Antares Auto-Tune Realtime Plug-in - $249

Developed by Antares and available exclusively for UAD-2 hardware and Apollo interfaces, the Antares Auto-Tune Realtime plug-in offers genuine low-latency Auto-Tune processing made popular when used to excess by the likes of Cher, Daft Punk, and Kanye West, as well as being able to use it as subtle, real-time pitch correction.

Low Latency Pitch Correction

With an Apollo audio interface, Auto-Tune Realtime provides what UA claim is the lowest latency in the industry for Auto-Tune pitch correction. With Realtime UAD Processing using the Apollo's Console application, you can use Auto-Tune without the processing latency found in native systems.

Antares Auto-Tune® Realtime Plug-In Features

• Real-time Auto-Tune® pitch correction for Apollo audio interfaces and UAD-2 hardware
• Ultra low-latency on stage or when tracking in the studio
• Real-time MIDI control of target notes during performances
• Vibrato, Humanise, and Flex-Tune controls for natural-sounding pitch correction
• Includes Artist Presets from Mike Dean, Jess Jackson, and Dean Coleman

SSL 4000 G Bus Compressor Collection - $299

Universal Audio, in close partnership with Solid State Logic, has produced the SSL 4000 G Bus Compressor Collection for UAD-2 hardware and Apollo interfaces designed as a circuit emulation of the compressor that has been a key part of the hit-making SSL sound. 

The UA team of engineers have completed a ground-up re-design of the original SSL G Bus Compressor plug-in modelling every nuance of the in-console and FX G384 rackmount units, including their unique CV (control voltage) summing. The care they have taken in capturing all of its circuit behaviours, in intended so that the new SSL G Bus Compressor plug-in should offer the same punchy, transparent glue, and ultra-accurate stereo image of the original SSL hardware.

SSL 4000 G Bus Compressor Collection Plug-In Key Features:

• An end-to-end circuit emulation of SSL’s iconic bus compressor exclusively for UAD-2 and Apollo interfaces
• Specially tailored dynamic characteristics ideal for compressing full mix or subgroups
• Signature SSL G Bus features include fixed range Attack and Release including program-dependent "Auto" release and Auto Fade
• Plug-in exclusive features include SC Filter, Dry/Wet parallel processing and Headroom for user-customizable operating level
• Artist presets from Just Blaze (Beyoncé, Kendrick Lamar), Peter Mokran (The Flaming Lips, Mary J. Blige), Ian Boxill (Prince, Tupac), and more
• DSP-lite SSL G Bus Compressor Legacy plug-in included
• Upgrade price from SSL G Bus Compressor Legacy plug-in - $149.

UA Pure Plate Reverb Plug-in - $149

The Pure Plate Reverb plug-in has been designed to offer the UA plate reverb emulation in a simple, affordable package with all of the essential features.

The Universal Audio modelling experts have been busy working on what they describe as 'a no-compromise solution of this classic effect'. The Pure Plate Reverb has been designed to capture all of the sonic and mechanical nuances of the steel plate, transducers, and dampers that have been used in so many iconic recordings.

Pure Plate Reverb Plug-In Key Features:

• Easily provides the warm, lush sound of mechanical plate reverb used on records from the ’50s to today
• Simple control set for intuitive tone-shaping

Fuchs Train II Amplifier Plug-in - $149

UAD Partners, Brainworx have developed the Fuchs Train II Amplifier plug-in, which has also been officially endorsed by Fuchs Audio Technology. The Brainworx Modelled UAD plug-in has been designed to capture the late Ken Fischer’s iconic and rare Trainwreck amplifier sound, with its harmonically rich clean and crunch tones and aggressive rock and roll character.

Supports Unison For Supported Apollo Interfaces

The Fuchs Train II supports the Unison™ technology for Apollo interfaces. This means an Apollo user’s guitar pickups will see the exact impedance load as if they’re plugged into a Fuchs Train II which UA claim is a feature found only on Apollo audio interfaces.

Fuchs® Train II Amplifier Plug-In Key Features

• Exacting emulation of the original “Trainwreck-inspired” Fuchs Train II
• Endorsed and fully authenticated by Fuchs Audio Technology
• 100 Recording Chains with multiple speaker cabinet impulse responses

• Unison technology for Apollo interfaces offers authentic tone, touch, and feel of original Fuchs Train II amplifier thanks to impedance matching
• Available exclusively for UAD-2 hardware and Apollo interfaces

Eden WT800 Bass Amplifier Plug-in - $149

Softube has developed this UAD Eden® WT800 Bass Amplifier plug-in which has been endorsed and authenticated by Eden, and designed it as an expert emulation of the modern classic bass amp that UA say has remained a staple of countless pro players including Mike Rutherford of Genesis and Mike Gordon of Phish.

Supports Unison For Supported Apollo Interfaces

The Eden® WT800 Bass Amplifier plug-in also supports the Unison™ technology for Apollo interfaces. This means an Apollo user’s guitar pickups will see the exact impedance load as if they’re plugged into an Eden WT800, which UA claim is a feature found only on Apollo audio interfaces

Eden WT800 Bass Amplifier Plug-In Key Features:
