SPL & Brainworx to produce plug-ins for Universal Audio'S UAD-2 Powered Plug-ins platform (+3rd party developer SDK announced)

Universal Audio has announced an agreement wherein two German-based companies, SPL (Sound Performance Lab) and Brainworx, will become 3rd party audio plug-in developers for the UAD Powered Plug-Ins platform.

SPL and Brainworx are also working with Universal Audio to finalize a software development kit (SDK) that will allow other select developers of professional audio plug-ins to create software for the UAD Powered Plug-Ins platform, and to sell these plug-ins via UA's online store.

"We're extremely happy to have two of the most innovative, and forward-looking brands in professional audio now developing software directly for the UAD platform," commented Matt Ward, president of Universal Audio. "Having SPL and Brainworx onboard will give our users a whole new range of high-quality plug-ins in the very near future."

"We're thrilled that UA asked us to help develop the new UAD-2 platform SDK and release our most desirable plug-ins for the UAD-2 system," says Dirk Ulrich, CEO of Brainworx and Head of SPL Software. "Re-entering the platform with our own series of Analog Code plug-ins - after a very successful cooperation with UA on the Transient Designer plug-in several years ago - was the logical next step for SPL. We believe that UAD-2 users will love our latest creations."
