Some of them may have been held back by the requirement of UA gear ownership. Spark could put the UAD name on the broader audio developer map and attract new customers. Spark is the newest example of UA trying something new that also makes a lot of sense. It has been exemplified by the manufacturer’s broad expansions into new product categories, such as microphones and entry-level interfaces. Lately we’ve been observing a shift in thinking inside the Universal Audio head office. Lastly, it lets UA maintain its longtime hardware + software ‘ecosystem’ business model, which is as successful as it is inherently restrictive. It also helps take considerable stress off your computer’s CPU, especially during mammoth recording and mixing sessions for film and orchestral audio. Primarily, this makes software effects viable for tracking performances – ones that already ‘sound like a record’ – with just an audio interface. Both have on-board processors to run the aforementioned plug-ins at very low (imperceptible) latency.
Exemplary as it is, the software is pricy and exclusive to owners of Universal Audio hardware, such as the Apollo recording interfaces and Satellite DSP accelerator units. And, often under license from the original hardware manufacturers. UAD virtual instruments and effects are highly polished emulations of iconic studio equipment, made either in-house or in partnership with leading developers like Softube. UAD Spark – Universal Audio plug-ins go Native and subscription-based That’s great news, but not exactly sensational – or is it? Let’s talk a bit why UAD Spark matters for most – including producers loaded with enough plug-ins and subscriptions to last a lifetime. Later on, this may lead to an extensive music production platform in the cloud.

So, what is Spark? For starters, it’s UAD plug-ins going full Native (on Macs at launch, Windows to follow) with all the renowned effects and instruments.
