Universal Audio UAD1 Project Pak DSP Card (Macintosh and Windows)

The UAD-1 Project Pak brings UA's revolutionary combination of DSP hardware and highly-prized software plug-ins within the reach of small PC or Mac project studios with a limited budget. It is also how existing users can inexpensively take advantage of even greater power, by using multiple UAD-1 cards (up to four per system). The UAD-1 Project Pak supports 44.1 to 192 kHz sessions and is the easiest way to upgrade your mixes and get that professional polished sound using your existing DAW software/hardware without needing a computer upgrade.

At heart of the UAD-1 Studio Pak is the same single unpartitioned, floating-point super-computing processor which allows for larger and more sophisticated processing algorithms offering a new level of power and complexity not found with host-based plug-ins. By greatly reducing the burden on your computer's CPU, your host application can now deliver more tracks, automation and native effects.
