Two more of Universal Audio’s renowned UAD plug-ins have just gained new native versions that can be run without any Apollo or UAD Satellite hardware. Now available to all Windows and macOS users, UAD EMT 140 Classic Plate Reverberator and UAD EMT 250 Classic Electronic Reverb deliver the authentic plate reverb and vintage digital effects heard on classic recordings by artists including The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Prince, Radiohead, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers — and are officially endorsed by EMT International.
