DEFINITELY do a video review on the UAD plugins, with special emphasis on Mark's opinion on them ^^ Would love to see what his honest opinion is. (Especially compared to his Waves LA2A, etc plugins.) Disclaimer, I own UAD and am absolutely convinced they're a league above Waves stuff - just would like to see Mark admitting this 😂
They are definitely above most of Waves stuff. The quality of Waves plug-ins differ wildly, and even though they have a couple of gems, most of it are not even closet to same level as the UAD stuff. Lindell Audio probably makes the stuff that's closest to UAD's analog emulations (IMO). There are other developers that make just as good analog emulations - like Softube, Kush Audio etc. - but Lindell's plug-ins sound and behave the closest to UAD's plug-ins.
I’m so glad to hear you guys are doing well with the mastering. Definitely give the man a break. That’s too many hours per week.
I think Universal audio is very smart with releasing the native spark system. 1176s and Studer emulation at $20 per month to me is worth it alone. But with UA buying out Bock microphones and releasing the SD1 @ 100 usd less than the sure SM7B and having released the non-DSP volt hardware series should work well with the Spark system. Again I’m happy to see that you’re getting a high demand on your mastering, but give the man a day off and make flop cat the executive mastering engineer. Cheers
Mastering in Atmos pickled my head a bit admittedly... i'm going to have to watch the "Warren" video I think, great as always guys thank you.
I would rather just pay them once, then I could use the plug-in anytime I wanted, and not find that 3 years down the line, after I have stopped my subscription, I revisit a project and it needs a specific plug-in, only available from UAD. I hate all this subscription crap, make the plug-ins nativesure, but let us buy them! Another brilliant video. Cheers Guys
Not sure if you've learned this since commenting, but you CAN just buy UAD plugs once. Anything you own is automatically available in Spark (once they've ported it over), free of charge. No sub necessary. Cheers.
Flopster makes the most purrrrrrfect B roll.
Totally want a UAD review.
Marks review of the plugs please - especially the 1176, LA2A and Neve. Many thanking yous
This is certainly unexpected from UAD. I still remember commenting about being surprised their stuf isn't supported natively and since assumed it was just their business strategie (much like Apple). Not too fussed about the fact that it's subsciption based though...
review? Yes please :D
wow!
It's an interesting route UA take on native format.
Nice to see owners of the plugins get this for free. (I'm not a fan at all of the subscription model.)
Also very nice to see the 224 finally in a high res gui.
Can finally use all those UAD plugins I bought when I owned an Apollo. Shame we have to wait until Autumn for windows though
This was no surprise ..Apogee is starting to do DSP plugins in their own architecture (AND simultaneously native). The had 0 choice unless they wanted to be left behind. If they release Luna natively I might be interested.
Not really interested in whatever UAD is trying to sell and I’m just interested in Atmos in terms of how far the tech has come, I’ll be honest. I did, however, miss you guys!
P.S.: The mastering price is still bloody amazing, don’t sweat it!
We missed being here!
Hey Mark, have you checked the Hornet plugins Samp for Atmos? "SAMP resolves this issue by providing four classic master bus processors that are linked together, so a change on an instance of SAMP is reflected on every other instance, simultaneously." It would be nice for a video review.
I have almost finished writing a surround album but I tend to only make objects for any moving thing that might need better translation when changing speaker setups. I have yet to get my hands on a cheap modern day receiver so I can test a delivery method. My question is how many object channels can average home theatre receivers process? In my experiments I only need to master the bed as stuff moving around doesn't really need it and just needs to be turned up a little.
If you were in the market to now purchase an apollo interface, which would you buy the solo or twin x? I was thinking of purchasing the twin x because of the extra DSP but with the plugins being able to go native now does it now make more sense to go with the SOLO interface and pay nearly half the price for it? From my research, the preamps and sound quality are the same which is also the main reason for me wanting an apollo.
Last things first. You're pricing stays extremely fair and if I may speak as a customer, worth every penny!
I'd like to see a review on UAD spark, one thing which made me curious in particular. In an early magazine review the CPU, yes CPU load of the DSP plugins were higher, than the native CPU based ones. It would be interesting to see, whether you can copy that behaviour.
Cheers Peter, and yes, review coming soon! :)
@@PresentDayProduction I would give it a try myself, but I ran out of Macs.
Still a bargain at £59 for an excellent hands-on mastering service! I only wish I had another track ready so I could send to this fab team!
Thanks Thomas!
Very interested is a review of the UAD plugins. I’m intrigued whether they are any better than standalone competitors, as many say they are. Practically, I hate the idea (which may be a misconception?) that a sing/mix I’ve made using them becomes non-functional if (when?) I eventually get sick of paying monthly subs?
Come on man. Freeze the audio tracks so you have them baked in. Also if you need to adjust anything you can subscribe for one month. Gee people moaning about subscription services when they’re on the internet because of a subscription and are happy to subscribe to Netflix, puhleez!
@@kehindea Thanks for the first half of your reply. That part was actually useful for someone who's trying to learn. The rest, not so much.
I can second the committing/freezing tracks idea, especially in the new PT where you can commit your plugins to a new playlist, but it is a workaround for your genuine issue. My first reaction was, from a mix engineer's perspective - try to not go back to songs like that. Finish the mix, commit to your decisions, and move on. I think it's ultimately damaging as an engineer/artist to not focus yourself on the process of finishing, because you could ALWAYS decide to change something, forever. Until you die. DAWs are a trap like that.
The value is, if you buy the plugs and can use them natively, it gives you an upgrade path to a UAD hardware unit eventually without being locked out. In the past, you'd be completely SOL until you got a Duo or something.
*Edit* - also I can +1, UAD plugs are the MOST inspiring plugs I've ever had the joy of playing with. The compressors alone make the competition's offerings feel like cheap Chinese knock offs (I'm looking at YOU, Waves)
All i need is MAC now :)
Yes please review the UAD plugins!
you explained it better then Reuben great job. also i think he took the bed and split it out to mono also.
UAD goes native: I’m excited!!
Subscription: Okay, I’m outta here..
you can still buy it :) Probably don't even have to own an interface (but I'm not sure), but you can use the native version of the plugins when owning the DSP ones from the store! So technically you can still buy them :)
@@galgogergo Thanks my friend! I was worried to get another subscription model amongst the countless others I have.
Sidechaining stems from a mix can’t be new can it?
Wow
Should be RENT TO OWN. All the rest of the plugins should be there as well with next updates, I suppose. I hope so! Otherwise not worth it.
I see those Focals lurking in the background
aaaand just as I comment that, you mention it in the video.
It’s gonna be an exciting review!
Review wanted, for educational purposes.
It's somehow funny that MONO is the new base of ATMOS. 😂
no subscription models plz
PLEASE do a Review for UAD Spark :)
Please do a review. Thank you.
Evening all.

Spark, subscribtion? An other cloud/subscrition thing?
NO subscribtion.
I've enough costly subscribtions for my telephone/internet, AC, health insurance or water .
Don't need a "softwarelord" or a "pluginlord"
This is my concern. I like that they’ve broken the link to the hardware but I’d rather buy the one, two or three I really want than pay every month for a suite , 80% of which I might like but don’t really need or want.
Don’t get the logic here. Your alternative is to spend hundreds on the software which you’d never own anyway. If you add the hardware then your bill is thousands of dollars but you moan about a $20 subscription lol
@@kehindea 🤔 🤔
I still only let people who are using my hardware to use my effects.
*ba-dum*
Hopefully these new plugins are more stable when used this way instead of using the interface versions.
IMO it's not worth $19.99/month at the moment with what they are currently offering when you have competitors like Plugin Alliance, Waves and Slate which give you way more for the same price or less.
Too little too late. No Windows licence until later in the year and everything they’re offering have been bundles by others like Slate, Plugin Alliance and rip off merchants Waves. Even DAWs have similar solutions. It’s a welcome step for those invested in UAD hardware but didn’t really excite me as much as it should. This is because I have already invested in alternative solutions.
I'm adding the spark to my budget. It is so affordable.
Sorry, UA, I like OWNING plugins and I don’t like throwing money in a burning barrel 🤷🏼♂️ Keep trying, tho, and maybe someday I’ll be able to afford $300 for a single reverb or EQ!
1:19 😂 I think you uploaded the wrong file?
No, this mistake was deliberately kept in, although maybe it could have been accentuated more!
More resources for Atmos is great. If anyone wants to buy an Apollo x8p hmu. Lol
UAD stuff... meh... like typical second-hand car finance, I’ve 0% interest, personally.
Fuc-all monitors review might be interesting (though, of other Focals I’ve heard, the lovely pleasing sound might come at the expense of better accuracy, perhaps).
Taking the Atmos mastering problem on mano-a-mano (well... mono-a-mono) seems clever... guess the chap had a one-track mind regarding this.
Mooooog or Moag, though...?
The Moog Moag question is a good one, I was unsure as I was saying it but decided to stick with it!
@@PresentDayProduction If this were tomorrow, I’d say more ‘fool’ (foal) you... but it ain’t, so I won’t.
Not another subscription based model. Let people own what they paid for. Its the same development as in the gaming world. So annoying.
A booming business is great, but you can't do 80hrs+/week for long. Take care of yourself!
Subscription 🤮🤮🤮🤮 😜
No. No review. Do not support subscription models. There is no exit from them even though you've paid for it many times over through the years
seems like an april joke
