Universal Audio has introduced a new plugin that combines acclaimed UAD guitar amp emulations with classic cabinets and mics, pedals, and studio effects built upon UA’s world class analog modeling.
Paradise Guitar Studio gives guitarists and producers instant record ready tones from jangly cleans and natural overdrive to rare boutique sounds. Its intuitive interface lets producers craft professional guitar tracks all in one place, entirely in the box.
“We built Paradise to make any guitarist feel like they’re playing in a dream studio,” says James Santiago, Senior Product Designer at Universal Audio. “It’s the most complete ‘end to end’ virtual experience we’ve ever built, with hand-picked tube amps and essential recording gear, all in a single plug in.”
