I own an Apollo or UAD-2 hardware, is this for me?

Yes, absolutely, our new bundles provide tremendous value on some of our most popular collections of plug-ins, and native versions are included for the best of both worlds. Native UAD plug-ins also allow you to record and mix on-the-go without attaching UAD hardware.

 

If I already own some of the plug-ins in these bundles, is there upgrade pricing available?

From time to time, Universal Audio will offer special upgrade pricing based on which plug-ins you already own. However, upgrade pricing may not be available for certain bundles or during certain promotions. We recommend checking your Offers page to see your current upgrade offers.

If I already own some of the plug-ins in these bundles, can I substitute other plug-ins instead?

No, our bundles are pre-configured and we do not offer the option to substitute plug-ins.

 

Will new titles be added to my bundles like UAD Spark?

No. When you purchase a bundle you’ll own those plug-ins forever. The Producer, Studio and Signature bundles include some of the UAD plug-in titles listed on this page.

 

Do you offer educational discounts?

Not at this time.

 

Are Unison versions included?

Yes, if you have Apollo hardware and the plug-in supports the Unison feature.Unison technology is a unique blend of hardware and software that requires an Apollo interface to truly emulate the unique input characteristics of the plug-in. Note that native UAD titles do not have Unison functionality. 

 

Can I try native UAD plug-ins before I buy?

Yes, 14-day plug-in demos are available. Find eligible plug-ins on this page.
