If you're a UAD user like I am, you'll be excited to know they just released version 9.1 of their infamous software suite and this release includes some goodies! Personally, I'm super excited to demo the Moog Filter Collection. Check it out!

Moog analog filters have long reigned supreme as the most musical audio filtering circuits ever devised. Built for modern sequencer-based song production, the new Moog Multimode XL plug-in for UAD-2 hardware and Apollo interfaces borrows from various incarnations of classic Moog designs, nailing the essential Moog filter character unlike any software emulation in history.

Some producers might be excited to checkout the OTO Biscuit.

With its lush soundscapes, distortion, waveshaping, pitch shifting, the OTO BISCUIT 8‑bit Effects is revered among EDM producers, DJs, and remixers alike. Developed by Softube, and available exclusively for UAD-2 hardware and Apollo interfaces, the OTO BISCUIT 8‑bit Effects plug-in is an exacting emulation of the legendary hard-to-find hardware. http://www.uaudio.com/uad-plugins/special-processing/uad-oto-biscuit-effects-plug-in.html

As an owner of the previous iteration of the SSL Channel Strip, I'd love to compare it to the new and improved version in this release. Word on the street is it's gorgeous.

The SSL 4000 E console brought a modern sound to the world, powering more Platinum-selling records than any other. Its bold, punchy character and incredible dynamics have made the SSL 4000 E a true industry standard and a bastion of modern recording.
