See all Musikmesse 2011 news items »

Universal Audio announces the impending release of the first new “Direct Developer” plug-ins for the UAD-2 Powered Plug-Ins Platform: the Brainworx bx_digital V2 EQ plug-in and the SPL Vitalizer MK2-T plug-in.

The Brainworx bx_digital V2 EQ is a mastering EQ. The bx_digital V2 EQ offers three modes — M/S Mastering, M/S Recording, and L/R Stereo — with a “SixPack” Master Section, 11-band EQ with Shifter EQs to 22kHz, and built-in M/S De-Esser, Dynamic EQ, and metering options. An included bx_digital V2 Mono plug-in provides the same Mastering EQ-quality sound for mixing applications, the company says.

The SPL Vitalizer MK2-T is an emulation of the tube-based Vitalizer hardware unit. The Vitalizer provides independent Bass and Mid-Hi processing that works in both the time and frequency domains.

These new UAD-2 Powered Plug-Ins were developed or the UAD-2 platform by the software engineers at SPL and Brainworx as part of a new UAD-2 SDK (software development kit).
