The secret of its sonic richness lies in its tube gain stage, which gets warmer as the input level rises, helped by UAD having modeled every detail of the input and output stages, including the non-linear nature of its circuit. Introducing UAD Software v9.8, featuring the new V76 Preamplifier, Antares Auto-Tune Realtime Advanced, and Diezel Herbert Amplifier plug-ins. The original hardware has found favour in many of the world’s most celebrated recording studios and, as UAD’s emulation joins the ranks of its Unison-enabled preamps, you can now track recordings through it (vocals sound particularly great, as do hardware synths) or ‘re-preamp-lify’ existing audio recordings by adding the V76 as an insert at the top of a channel-strip of effects. I don’t think Real-time Access shows in the Control Panel list of plugins, but it is. Access isn’t even convincing as a plugin and shouldn’t be promoted with mkII’s. I ended up getting an email from support middle of last week. Here’s a preamp which really does sound like analogue in action, with UAD’s emulation the only officially-endorsed plugin of this hardware to date, with each stage of its behaviour meticulously modeled. Based on vintage exciter circuits and advanced dynamics processing, Fresh Air lets you add just the right amount of brilliance & shine to your mix in simple. Download the latest version of the software, then go to the UAD Control Panel > Authorize Plugins.

The UAD platform isn’t short of classic preamp emulations and joining the Neve 1073 and SSL E-Channel ranks (to name but two) comes a less known but justifiably coveted choice the V76 Preamp, whose hardware was developed by the German Institute of Broadcast Technology (IRT).Īs with most classic preamps, its sound isn’t determined by an extended feature set or chameleon-like flexibility, but rather features a reputation built on the singular quality of its warm, ‘hi-fi’ tube sonic character.
