Universal Audio have released UAD Software v8.7 which features the Manley Voxbox Channel Strip Plug-In and the Ampeg B-15N bass amp emulation.
Introduced in 1997, the Manley Voxbox hardware combines the best of Manley’s audio designs, including their high-fidelity tube mic preamp, vactrol optical compressor, Pultec-style passive EQ, and de-esser/limiter into a formidable 3U package.
Developed with Manley Labs, the Manley Voxbox Channel Strip Plug-In captures every section of this modern classic channel strip for vocal production, say its makers. Apollo audio interface owners can track in real time with this all-tube vocal channel strip, like having the original hardware, thanks to the support of Universal Audio’s Unison technology, providing the Voxbox’s all-important impedance, gain staging, and circuit behaviours.
The Manley VOXBOX Channel Strip plug-in is also available as part of the new Manley Complete Plug-In Bundle ($699), which includes the Manley Massive Passive EQ and Variable Mu Compressor Limiter plug-ins.
The Ampeg B-15 bass amp defined the sound of recorded electric bass. From Motown sides with James Jamerson to classic Stax records with Donald “Duck” Dunn, this 30-watt, 1x15, all-tube combo delivered a warm and fat fundamental note that laid the foundation for ’60s and ’70s rock, funk, and soul.
Developed by Brainworx, the Ampeg B-15N Bass Amplifier Plug-In emulates the circuitry, tone stack, and thump of Ampeg’s limited-edition Heritage B-15N bass amp.
As with the Voxbox plug-in, Apollo owners can track in real time with this iconic bass amp, and harness UA’s Unison technology for a more authentic sound. Users of UAD-2 Satellite and PCIe DSP Accelerators can harness the legendary tone of the B-15N by adding it to any recorded bass guitar signal in any major DAW (Pro Tools, Cubase, Logic, Live, and more).
The Ampeg B-15N Bass Amplifier Plug-In is also part of the new Ampeg Heritage Bass Amp Bundle, which includes the Ampeg SVT-VR Bass Amplifier and Ampeg SVT-3 PRO Bass Amplifier Plug-ins for $299.
