    Summit TLA 100A is fantastic!

    Its amazing how much this sounds like the real Summit. Im extremely impressed and using it all the time. Its got this beautiful vintage color and warmth on the master bus or in a mastering session however you choose. One of the best from UA!

    Mojo. It’s got mojo. It actually sounds like hardware and can be really extreme in a good way and yes, it does subtle too. The only knock is that it takes up a lot of DSP so I have to use it sparingly . Sounds magical on channels, busses, and the master for some 3D warm, punchy, articulate character. Though it looks like an LA-2A, it’s not. IMHO, it’s the best sounding plug-in compression made. By comparison, it can make other plugin compressors sound bland. Mojo. Major mojo.

    Oh, and also, it’s got mojo. M

    One of the best comps in real world and emulations

    I have used the original hardware, also have the software version from Softube but this is the real one that replace for me the hardware with the ability to load it in my Apollo.

    No downside.

    Great compressor !

    At least download the demo and hear for yourself. Got this on the UA 2 for $99 deal.

    What a steal!!

    Wow

    This is actually one of my favorite comps from UA. Excellent on bass and vocals especially with the drive dial. It’s a winner for sure.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, you’ll need an Apollo audio interface, UAD-2 Satellite, or UAD-2 PCIe card to run these plug-ins, using the onboard DSP. The plug-ins run on the hardware itself, without adding strain to your computer’s CPU. In an Apollo, onboard DSP processing allows you to run realtime UAD plug-ins with near-zero latency, and even record that processing directly to your DAW.

This refers to the number of SHARC DSP processors in Apollo and UAD-2 hardware. A DUO core system has twice the amount of processing power compared to a SOLO core system. More SHARC DSP cores increases the number of UAD-2 plug-ins you can run on the hardware.

No, Satellites provide DSP to run UAD-2 plug-ins in your DAW.

Yes, you can start a fully functional 14-day demo from any plug-in bundled with the UAD software. Simply click “Start Demo”, and start using it in your DAW.

UAD-2 licenses follow the hardware, it does not matter which computer they are connected to. You can have up to six UAD-2 devices registered to a system in your Universal Audio account, which share those licenses. See UAD-2 Plug-In Licensing Explained for full details. Authorisation of UAD-2 hardware is managed by the UAD Meter & Control Panel Application.
