Universal Audio has announced the release of an update to its UAD Software for Apollo series of audio interfaces and UAD Accelerators.
Version 10.1 brings updated retina graphics for Studer A800 and Lexicon 224, compatibility with UAD Spark, Apple Silicon M1, macOS 12 Monterey, and Windows 11, and some improvements and bug fixes. It also introduces the Hitsville EQ Collection for UAD-2 and UAD Spark.
The collection includes two expertly modeled emulations of the graphic EQs that shaped the legendary Motown sound.
