I’ve been using the UAD-1 plug-ins for, jeez… nearly 10 years now and with the arrival of the UAD-2 hardware relief is finally at hand. I’ve also been running occasional projects back on the old PC using outdated software just to get the grunt required – a little galling but unavoidable. Wrong! A mismatch somewhere on the great ‘firmware dating’ site in the sky put paid to that idea and I’ve been hobbling along on one – yes one – UAD-1 card ever since. At that time I figured I’d be able to happily run my four UAD-1 cards via the MacBook Pro’s ExpressCard slot with the aid of a PCI expansion chassis from Magma. In November ’07 I moved from mixing and mastering music on a PC desktop machine to a MacBook Pro. I’ve been awaiting the release of the UAD-2 Solo/Laptop for a long time now.

A new generation of UAD hardware is finally here, and not a moment too soon.
