Recreate Bill Putnam Sr.'s Masterpieces, Infusing Your Tracks with Unparalleled Tube Warmth and Color
The UA 175B and 176 are often hailed as the masterpieces of Universal Audio founder and audio engineering pioneer Bill Putnam Sr., revered for their rich tube gain reduction characteristics and exceptional sonic versatility. Now, you can achieve the exact legendary sound of the rare hardware with this officially licensed tube compressor plugin collection. This UAD plugin collection is not just a historical recreation, but an indispensable mixing tool for modern studios, capable of bringing the warm, full, and musical dynamic control found in classic records to vocals, drums, guitars, and various other sound sources.
Born in the early 1960s, these two compressors were among the first devices specifically designed for recording and mixing, offering engineers groundbreaking fast attack times and independently adjustable Attack/Release controls. Our analog emulation technology meticulously analyzed two pristine original 1960s hardware units, precisely capturing all their hyper-musical harmonics and colorful saturation, even perfectly replicating their magical feedback compression circuit, allowing you to achieve softer compression at low input levels and powerful, near brick-wall limiting effects at high input levels.
