The UAD Native Studio Bundle Black Friday deal is 50% off at $149, running until Nov 30, 2026, for 25 plugins from Universal Audio that cover tracking through mastering.
Universal Audio describes the bundle as 25 hardware emulations for every stage of a record. Processors like the Empirical Labs EL8 Distressor sit alongside rooms like the Capitol Chambers and the new UAD Woodrow '55 Instrument Amplifier.
The 25 titles are split into five groups:
The maker says the four amps run from clean shimmer to full-on drive.
The SSL E Series Channel Strip brings the SSL 4000 console to your DAW. It has Type E black and brown knob EQs, plus the SSL VCA compressor and gate. External side-chaining works in the UAD Native version, and no Apollo is required.
The API Vision Channel Strip covers API's flagship console channel. It has a 10-band graphic EQ module, 550L parametric EQs, a 212L preamp, a 235L gate/expander and a 225L compression circuit.
The LA-6176 Signature Channel Strip combines three UA designs in one plugin: the 610 mic preamp, the 1176 Limiting Amplifier and the LA-2A Leveling Amplifier. You switch between the 1176 and LA-2A compression.
The Helios Type 69 Preamp and EQ Collection has a midrange EQ and four low-frequency boost filters. The Manley Tube Preamp combines a valve-driven mic input stage with an opto-style compressor, a limiting and sibilance-control section, plus a 3-band EQ built on passive circuitry.
All plugins are available as UAD Native in AU, AAX and VST. The bundle also includes UAD DSP licenses for Apollo where available.
If you track through an Apollo, Unison technology lets the SSL and Helios preamp models respond like the hardware. Without Apollo, the plugins still run natively in your DAW.
Yes. The UAD Native Studio Bundle Black Friday deal is 50% off at $149, and it ends Nov 30, 2026. The bundle contains 25 hardware emulations from Universal Audio, covering channel strips, compressors, EQs, tape, rooms and guitar amps.
All the plugins are available as UAD Native in AU, AAX and VST. Universal Audio also includes UAD DSP licenses for Apollo where available, so Apollo owners can run the same titles on their hardware.
No. The plugins run natively in your DAW with any audio interface. Apollo owners get extra options: UAD DSP licenses where available, and Unison technology for tracking through the preamp models such as the SSL and Helios.
Four amps are included: the UAD Dream '65 Reverb Amplifier, Lion '68 Super Lead Amp, Ruby '63 Top Boost Amplifier and the new Woodrow '55 Instrument Amplifier. Universal Audio says they cover everything from clean shimmer to full-on drive.
