May 16, 2015  I have been asked many times by my YT subscribers to do a video series on Universal Audio and the plugins that I personally use so here it is. This is Episode 4 - Neve 88RS Channel Strip. Universal Audio is designed to be a seamless solution to working with audio in precomps, so you never need to break your creative flow when timing to sound, it provides one button to give you audio reference where ever you are by making your selected audio layers flow throughout all your comps, as well as maintaining all markers from your audio.

Guitar-amp plug-ins are nothing new, and the concept is pretty straightforward: Much like you’d use a software compressor, EQ, or other processor plug-in on a recorded track while mixing in your DAW, for example, you record your guitar track dry via DI, then insert an amp plug-in on that track’s channel strip to transform it to the type of tone that the production demands. The amplifier plug-ins on review here from Universal Audio will also function exactly so, but they really shine when used during the recording process, as Unison plug-ins accessed via one of UA’s own Apollo recording interfaces. As such, you not only hear the selected amp as you record it, you also feel the interaction between guitar and carefully modeled amp via the Apollo’s Hi-Z input, and all with zero latency. And that, UA reckons, should make a marked difference in the feel and dynamics of your performance. In a bid to discover how well that premise holds up, GP checks out UA’s Unison plug-ins for the Marshall Legends Bundle ($399 direct), ’55 Fender Tweed Deluxe ($199 direct), Fuchs Overdrive Special 50 and Train II ($149 direct, each), and Engl Savage 120 ($149 direct). Comprising models created exclusively for UA Unison by Softube, the Marshall Legends Bundle includes the Plexi Super Lead 1959, Silver Jubilee 2555, and Bluesbreaker 1962 (also available individually at $199 each). All were modeled from rare original amps in Marshall’s own collection, with mic and cabinet IRs voiced and captured by Tony Platt (who was part of the recording/mixing team for AC/DC’s Back in Black and Highway to Hell albums).

In addition to the amp controls themselves, opening each plug-in’s “Channel Strip” accesses a mixer where you can select between multiple setups comprising several classic studio mics each, and mix them to taste. Initial impressions? Naturally, I went to the Plexi first, plugged in, and before any tweaking, the “default” preset was thick, raw, and ballsy, with telltale elements like that visceral 4x12 thump and edgy Greenback clack that tell you you’re playing a well broken-in Brit rock monster. Note: It might all sound and feel a little “once removed” to players not familiar with studio setups—keep in mind you’re hearing an amp as captured via studio mics, so it’s what you’d expect to hear in the track, not from a bare amp in the room—but to me it sounds entirely like I’m sitting in the control room listening via the monitors while tracking a great amp miked up and raging in the live room next door, and spookily so. The Bluesbreaker and Silver Jubilee plug-ins also hold their own extremely well, sounding entirely in character. Conjuring 2 hindi dubbed watch online. Crank the former and you get a warts-and-all Beano-era bluesfest as the amp and 2x12 kick out creamy ghost-note inflected goodness, or dial it back for sublime KT66-fueled edge-of-breakup—or plug into the 2555 for a heathy fix of godlike late-’80s arena-rock lead tone. Designed entirely by UA and fully endorsed by Fender Musical Instruments Corp., the ’55 Tweed Deluxe was derived from intense R&D based around two highly regarded original 1955 Deluxes.
