UAD A-Type for All: UA Releases Native A‑Type Multiband Dynamic Enhancer Plug‑In – MusicPlayers.com

Get Your Hands on Authentic A‑Type Sound

Unlock the enhancement tricks used for decades by pro engineers and producers. The first and only end-to-end emulation of the vintage multiband “compansion” processor found in some of the world’s biggest studios, our A-Type UAD plug-in unlocks the presence and top end sizzle that’s perfect for pushing vocals straight to the front of your mix.

Explore Five Iconic Modes

Use the fabled Air, Excite, and Expand effects heard on recordings by Queen, AC/DC, Journey, Fleetwood Mac, and others.* Or add gritty dynamic textures to drums and instruments with our one-of-a-kind Crush and Gated compression effects.


Go Beyond with Custom Circuit Mods

For years, engineers have employed the A-Type hardware for more than just noise reduction. Bent to their will to make vocals sparkle and drums explode, the A-Type sound is celebrated by those who grew up using the real thing. Our take on this classic processor features exclusive circuit mods like multiband gains and crossovers, Ratio, Knee and Attack controls, and sidechain filtering, so you can take the sound of the original somewhere completely new.


Bring Classic Recordings Back to Life with Precision Decoding

Our A-Type Multiband Dynamic Enhancer plug-in began as a precision decoding tool for transferring hundreds of encoded master tapes. We modeled every nuance of the original circuits, from multiband compansion curves to rare cartridge mods, resulting in an obsessively accurate emulation that can deliver the same flawless results whether you’re transferring tape masters, or just tightening up a noisy take.
