UAD software version 5.4.0 now available, with EMT 250, Fatso and Neve emulations
Universal Audio has updated their DSP platform with three anticipated plug-ins. Fatso Jr/Sr (a tape emulator and compressor), EMT 250 (the classic reverb) and Neve 31102 / 31102SE (console EQ’s). I guess the Fatso plug-in makes it an emulation of an emulation to some extent. Interesting… More about the 5.4.0 software, Fatso, EMT 250 and [...]

Prime Loops contest winners
The Prime Loops contest has ended and the winners have been picked by a ruthless jury. We didn’t agree on all occasions, but I think the winners deserved it. It was tough to pick them and there were several other songs in the discussions, so if you didn’t make it don’t get too depressed.
