UAD Software v9.14 Update
API Preamp — $149
The API Preamp plug-in for Apollo interfaces and UAD hardware has been designed to give users the clarity, punch, and complex tone of API’s 212L preamp circuit, with added features from the API flagship Vision console including a Mic/Line switch, dedicated cut filter, and -6 dB Line pad.
With UAD Unison technology, users can now harness the impedance characteristics and gain staging “sweet spots” of the vintage hardware for signature punch and detail during tracking, or quickly add the colour and tone of API’s famed mix desk across multiple channels during mixdown.
API Vision Channel Strip Collection - $299
Rounding out UA’s API focused release, UAD Software v9.14 includes the updated API Vision Channel Strip Collection. This authentic emulation of API's flagship analogue console channel for Apollo and UAD hardware now features switchable EQ modules and a modelled output section for added tone-shaping and flexibility.

UAD Software v9.14 delivers UA’s first noise reduction plug-in tailored for vocalists. Developed by C-Suite Audio exclusively for Apollo interfaces and UAD hardware, C-Vox Noise & Ambience Reduction combines noise suppression technology designed by CEDAR with real-time UAD Processing and has been designed to enable users to reduce ambient room sounds during live vocal tracking and clean up recordings before going to additional plug-ins and processors.
