The UAD B-Side Mix Tape Black Friday deal from Universal Audio lets you pick 5 UAD plug-ins for $69, 30% off, with the offer ending Nov 10, 2026.
The UAD B-Side Mix Tape is an effects bundle built on choice. You select 5 titles from a curated list of 50+ UAD plug-ins to assemble your own mix and production bundle.
Universal Audio describes the goal as the authentic sound of the world's most legendary studios.
The selection covers studio effects, virtual instruments and amp models. The 45 titles on the main list include:
The full list also includes tape recorders such as the Ampex ATR-102 and Studer A800 Multichannel Tape Recorder, the Empirical Labs FATSO Tape Simulator and the Topline Vocal Tune.
Six titles are not native and require Apollo or UAD-2 hardware:
If you run without Apollo or UAD-2 hardware, the 45 titles on the main list are the ones to build from.
You choose 5 plug-ins and they make up your bundle. Because you decide the five, the bundle can lean toward a single job, such as a bus compression chain, or spread across a mix: a channel strip, a compressor, an EQ, a reverb and an amp.
A few combinations that fit the list: an SSL 4000 E Channel Strip with an SSL 4000 G Bus Compressor for a console-style signal chain, or a Teletronix LA-2A Leveler Collection and an EMT 140 Classic Plate Reverberator for vocals.
The synths and organs, including the Anthem Analog Synthesizer, Opal Morphing Synthesizer and Electra 88 Vintage Keyboard Studio, count toward your 5 the same way the effects do.
