Released in November 2011, UAD Software v6.1 brings new creative tools to the UAD Powered Plug-Ins platform.

- Specifically, UAD v6.1 features the new MXR® Flanger/Doubler and Little Labs® Voice of God (VOG) plug-ins, as well as enhancements to UAD / Pro Tools workflow and the Ampex® ATR-102 Mastering Tape Recorder plug-in.

The four inputs are not just for mics: they are combo jacks that also accept a quarter-inch plug. Inputs 1-2 take line-level signals, such as the output from a synth or keyboard. Inputs 3-4 are "hi-Z" DI inputs with proper impedance for plugging in your electric guitar directly, without an amp or cabinet, to process your guitar sound through amp and cab simulation plug-ins in your host software.

The 4pre combo mic/guitar inputs are equipped with pristine, transparent preamps and offer individually adjustable 48V phantom power and -20 dB pad. All settings can be adjusted directly on the front panel, or from the 4pre's CueMix software running on your computer. Mic inputs can be operated individually or in stereo pairs, as needed.

With BREVERB 2 you have the sound of more than 50 new ambient spaces at your fingertips.
All ambience settings have been carefully crafted by Overloud engineers who referenced the preferred room and ambience choices of top sound designers.


Some features:
- 7 main Algorithms: Hall, Room, Plate, Inverse, Spaces small, Spaces large and Sources.

SurCode for Dolby(TM) E provides easy integration of Dolby E elements into existing workflows on a wide variety of industry-leading audio workstations. Linear PCM, with complete metadata support, can be encoded and decoded in real time and in the background at faster than real time speeds with convenient, familiar, cross-platform plug-ins.

Version 2.0 of SurCode for Dolby(TM) E brings a fivefold increase in encoding speed thanks, in part, to in-depth utilization of multi-threaded execution on all platforms. To further broaden RTAS, AudioSuite and VST support, a Final Cut Pro Export Decoder and AudioSuite Decoder has been added to the roster. Maintaining up to the minute platform parity, both SurCode for Dolby E Encoder and Decoder now also support the recently released Pro Tools 10 and Apple's Mac OS 10.7 Lion.
