UAD v7.6 with 3 new Brainworx plugins.

Universal Audio has released a v7.6 update to their popular UAD software that includes 3 great new plugins that were developed by Brainworx:

1. The Brainworx bx_Refinement Plugin which can be used to reduce harshness and/or edginess to your tracks or full mixes. This will come in handy on a current project which has some overly edgy guitars.

bx Refinement Features

• Reduces harshness and breathes life into recordings
• Fixed, dynamic or modulation based damping of unwanted frequencies
• Mid/Side processing
• Soft & hard damping provide second order filtering and higher order filtering respectively
• Solo filter allows to hear just what you’re removing from the recording
• Subtle saturation and presence controls enhance the material without changing its character

Take a look at the video to hear it:

2. The Brainworx bx_saturator V2 Plug-In which is great for adding distortion/saturation to sounds. It's capable of subtle enhancement to extreme distortion and works in M/S mode.

Brainworx bx_saturator V2 Plug-In Features:

• Turns standard sounds into exciting ear catchers
• Makes mixes sound louder and wider without clipping
• Allows adding saturation and distortion in different amounts to different frequency bands
• Add just a little to soften a mix buss or pile it on to an individual tracks for a dramatic effect
• Mono Maker sums very low frequencies so you can widen the rest of the stereo field without phase issues

Here's the intro video:

3. The Chandler Limited GAV19T Amplifier Plug-In. Those that are familiar with the hardware will be happy to know that it now available as a plugin. The GAV19T is capable of a multitude of tones and is a favorite of many guitarists.

• FX Rack features lo-fi delay, noise gate, and filter controls
• 75 impulse responses with multiple speaker cabinets recorded in a state of the art room with stellar gear
• Feels like a real amp when played through Apollo’s low latency monitoring
• Bias control emulates hotter or colder preamp tubes for different flavors of distortion
• Drive features four modes, Treble Boost, Full Range, Aggressive, and Mids with a boost amount to dial in just the amount of the selected frequency range desired
• Tone controls feature Baxandall style curves which allow huge changes in frequency without changing the tone of the amp
• Re-Amp less than perfect DI guitar tracks, previously recorded with other guitar-amp simulations
