Windows 2000, XP
Support Added to the UAD-1
DSP CardExpanded Windows platform support and launched two new Powered Plug-ins for the UAD-1 DSP card March 13, 2002
Version 2.0 software for the Mackie UAD-1 card has been released. This free upgrade features full support for Windows 2000 and Windows XP operating systems--expanding the list of compatible UAD-1 operating systems to include Windows 98, Me, 2000, and XP.
At the same time, Mackie announced two new Powered Plug-ins for the UAD-1--the EX-1M which is a monophonic version of the existing stereo EX-1 channel strip, and the DM-1L which provides stereo delay times up to 2400 milliseconds per channel, and expanded UAD Performance Meter functions.
Version 2.0 and both new plug-ins are a free upgrade for existing UAD-1 users and are currently available for download at www.uaudio.com/uad-1 or at www.mackie.com/uad-1. These upgrades will be included with future versions of the Mackie UAD-1 beginning May 1.
Mackie's President and Chief Executive Officer Jamie Engen, had this to say; "Full support for all Windows versions, especially Windows 2000 and XP, opens up a vast new customer base for the UAD-1. Now, almost any Windows-based project studio can benefit from the incredible power of the UAD-1."
"Providing full support for Windows 2000 and XP has been a goal since the product was introduced last year," added Universal Audio Founder Bill Putnam. "Not only have we now delivered it, but we also added greatly improved UAD-1 drivers with a minimum latency of just 128 samples per plug-in, some great utilities for monitoring both DSP and host CPU use, and even some new plug-ins. This release marks a dramatic milestone in the development of the UAD-1."
The Mackie UAD-1 includes a suite of DSP-intensive software plug-ins that are "powered" by the UAD-1 DSP card which brings ultra-high performance signal processing to host-based systems -- using a single super-computing DSP chip that outperforms the DSP hardware engines of today's popular high-end DAWs using multiple DSP chips. The end result is a quantum leap in performance that offers digital audio workstation users professional quality plug-ins with multiple instances unencumbered by the limitations of the host processor.
The growing Powered Plug-ins family included with the Mackie UAD-1 currently includes Kind of Loud Technologies' highest quality stereo reverb, RealVerb Pro'; digital recreations of Universal Audio's legendary 1176LN and Teletronix LA-2A compressors; and the CS-1' Channel Strip that includes the EX-1 and EX-1M EQ/Compressor, DM-1 Modulated Delay, DM-1L Modulated Long Delay (2400ms stereo), and RS-1 Room Simulator modules.
The new Version 2.0 upgrade is free for all registered users. The UAD-1 Powered Plug-Ins has a U.S. suggested retail price of $995.00.
