Manley VOXBOX channel strip and Manley Tube Preamp just got added to the UAD Spark collection

 

Has anybody bought the Spark native plugins/subscription yet? If so, what's the CPU use of the plugins like?

And any compatibility issues with Windows?

 

according to Reaper and depending on the plugin itself, i usually get 1 to 3 times the CPU consumption of other brands like PA or Softube so...more than usual but not catastrophically high.

there used to be i think (i remember something about authentication but it was a while back so idk). I never had any issue but i guess it depends on your system. Why not try it yourself?

 

dbx 160 compressor/limiter added to UAD spark

 

Yes, added today. On top of that, you can get both UAD-2 and native UADx versions for $39 only with coupon.
(coupon is also valid for UAD native budles in case anyone is interested)

Enter coupon code DBX50 at checkout to save $50 on your order of $89 or more. Ends 9/18/ 2023

 

Lovely addition!

 

I wonder if they'll do the Distressor at $39 on one of these sales? I guess it needs porting first though right?

 

yea i'd imagine it would have to go native first.

 

Big UAD Spark update today, with probably the most desired plugins:
Capitol Chambers
Manley Massive Passive EQ
Avalon VT-737
Empirical Labs EL8 Distressor
and new exclusive native UAD reverb Sound City Studios will arrive November 14th

I want to buy the Essentials bundle so bad, but fuck it's so expensive, even for 50$. Such a good deal slipping away.

 

If we look at Spark's catalog today it's scary, there's practically everything you could want for a top class mix. The best subscription for professionals atm

 

OMG i love the Distressor

 

Damn, Avalon and Distressor sound divine! What a products

 

Best to wait until around Xmas when they go nuclear with the discounts.

 

Gimme that Distressor!!!!!

 

Hi guys, i have a question. I bought mix edition a week ago for $199. Is there a way to avoid duplicated licenses in exchange for a lower price on this new one signature bundle?
If i buy this one on the same account, is there a possibilty to sell/transfer previous bundle and keeping the new one? Or how does it work?

 

im wondering the exact same thing, cant seem to find anything on their site about crossgrading etc.

 

the pure distressor in worth the money, cause holy shit that thing is basically 1:1 with the hardware

 

I bought the creative edition a few weeks ago, all those plugins are included in Signature Edition as well which I would like to buy. However, I get the same 299 USD price as everyone else. It would be ok if I could sell the Creative edition, but UAD does not allow that. Although I am an EU customer and they are clearly violating EU law. More and more Plugin companies do that (e.g. Cherry Audio). I don't know how this violation of EU laws can be put a stop to. For one person alone, it's probably not worth it to hire a lawyer. But this attitude of systematically breaking laws and getting away with it is appalling me more and more.
