Universal Audio have been pioneering audio recording for more than 65 years. Founded in 1958 by Bill Putnam Sr. - a favourite engineer of Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole and Ray Charles, as well as a passionate innovator who is widely regarded as the father of modern recording - with many of his legendary studio and equipment designs still in use today. Specifically, Putnam was the inventor of the modern recording console, the multi-band audio equaliser, and the vocal booth, and he was the first engineer to use artificial reverberation in commercial recording.
Now run by his sons, James Putnam and Bill Putnam Jr., Universal Audio has two main goals: to faithfully reproduce classic analog recording equipment in the tradition of their father; and to design new digital recording tools in with the sound and spirit of vintage analog technology. To that end, Universal Audio employs the world's brightest DSP engineers and digital modelling authorities to develop their award-winning UAD Powered Plug-Ins platform. Featuring the most authentic analog emulation plug-ins in the industry, their DSP gurus work with the original hardware manufacturers - using their exact schematics, golden units, and experienced ears - to give UAD plug-ins warmth and harmonics in all the right places, just like analog.
