When put to work on premium PCIe cards, such as the UAD-2 QUAD Flexi, the chips' power potential is truly phenomenal. While the power of each individual UAD-2 card is incredible on its own, you can use cards in tandem to meet the needs of even the most demanding sessions. In all, you can mix and match UAD-2 cards to create a maximum of a 4-card UAD-2 card system. Using UAD-2 QUAD Flexi's LiveTrack mode, you can reduce latency on active UAD-2 plug-ins to the lowest amount possible - ideal for monitoring rich processed audio during the tracking stages.

If you prefer to manage your DSP resources manually, you can easily disable LoadLock.In addition to the tremendous plug-in package included with the UAD-2 QUAD Flexi, you get a $500 plug-in voucher that you can use toward any of Universal Audio's world-class plug-ins.
