Universal Audio (UA) in Scotts Valley, Calif., has released UAD Powered Plug-Ins Version 6.4 software, which supports 64-bit Windows 7 operating systems. UAD Powered Plug-Ins are now 64-bit for Windows 7 64-bit edition operating system users, and the UAD-2 Satellite FireWire DSP Accelerator and Apollo audio interface drivers are also compatible with Windows 7 64-bit operating systems, using a qualified PCIe-to-FireWire 800 adapter card.
“After the launch of Apollo earlier this year, we’ve devoted much of our engineering resources to solidifying the UAD Powered Plug-ins platform on the PC side,” says Universal Audio CEO and founder, Bill Putnam Jr. “I’m happy to announce the release of 64-bit plug-ins for Windows 7, as well as Windows 7 FireWire drivers for the UAD-2 Satellite and our popular Apollo audio interface.”
Separately, Universal Audio says it will release a public beta of 64-bit Mac plug-ins (UAD Powered Plug-Ins V 6.4.1 software) in December, ensuring that 64-bit UAD plug-in support will be available on both PC and Mac platforms in 2012.
