Softube Relaunches Universal Audio Adds to Abbey Road Pack
UAD Plug-ins Platform
UNIVERSAL AUDIO has added two new plug-ins with the updated version 7.4 software for its UAD powered plug-in platform and Apollo Audio Interfaces. First up, the UA-developed Fairchild Tube Limiter Collection is a new recreation of the Fairchild 670 and 660 Limiters, modelling the complete electronic path of the devices including tube-powered amplifier and transformer sections. An upgrade on the 2004 UA release of the
Fairchild 670 legacy plug-in, the new collection accurately emulates the circuit model of Ocean Way Studio’s ‘golden reference’ units and offers digital-only features such as side chain
filtering, dry/wet parallel blend, and headroom controls. Also new for UA users is the Maag EQ4 plug-in developed in partnership with Brainworx. The EQ4 was original designed by Cliff Maag to provide transparency and top- end presence while maintaining a true, natural sound. Based on his classic NTI EQ3 from the 1980s, the EQ4 features Maag’s five-position
Air Band control.

Steinberg Pioneers Gesture Control for Cubase DAW
STEINBERG HAS released Cubase iC Air, enabling users of Cubase 7 or Cubase Artist 7, together with Leap Motion Controller or Intel systems powered by the Intel Perceptual Computing SDK, to control Steinberg’s DAW intuitively through
command gestures. “We’ve been looking into possibilities to control Cubase in a novel way by using simple hand gestures as an alternative control alongside the conventional mouse and keyboard. Cubase iC Air is our first
achievement in this field of research,” said Shih Ming Law, key developer for Cubase iC Air.
Cubase iC Air embeds a control panel in the DAW, giving visual feedback of the user’s hand gestures that are picked up by depth cameras
from Leap Motion and Intel. Pre- programmed gestural commands allow users to perform transport controls, such as start, stop, and rewind, to audition through sections of audio, and
zoom in and out of the arrangement.
