UA Releases Native A‑Type Multiband Dynamic Enhancer Plug‑In

Universal Audio has announced that the A‑Type Multiband Dynamic Enhancer plug‑in is now available in native format for Mac and Windows — no Apollo or UAD hardware required.

The A-Type Multiband Dynamic Enhancer plug‑in is an authentic emulation of the multiband "compansion" processor that was originally used to reduce tape hiss in professional multitrack studios. It eventually became a secret weapon used on iconic pop and rock recordings for its ability to add clarity and presence to vocals.

Previously only available for Apollo and UAD hardware, this powerful multiband processor can now be used in any DAW, on any system. It's also included in UAD Spark — UA's plug-in subscription — giving subscribers access to A‑type alongside a collection of over 40 vintage compressors, tape machines, reverbs, and more.

Key Benefits:

• Add the iconic Air, Excite, and Expand effects used on vocal recordings by Queen, Stevie Wonder, The Cars, Fleetwood Mac, and more.
• Get the only end‑to‑end A‑Type emulation, built for flawless latency‑free tracking and mixing with Apollo interfaces.
• Engage Crush and Gated modes to get gritty analog textures or classic '80s gated effects on drums and instruments.
• Go far beyond the original hardware with the circuit mods panel, giving you custom expansion to transient shaping, subharmonic effects, and more.
• Use with any DAW on Mac or PC — no UA hardware required.
• Available natively and in UAD Spark, UA's plug‑in subscription.

Price: $199 MSRP USD.
