What exactly is the UA 610 plugin collection?
The Universal Audio 610 is the emulation of the iconic tube channel strips (610-A & 610-B). Introduced in 1960 by Bill Putnam Sr. The 610 has been a part of iconic recordings from artists like Ray Charles, Elvis Presley, and Neil Young, making significant contributions to early modern recording techniques.
The plugins are known to add presence and warmth to vocals. You can make any signal in your effect chain sound alive and three-dimensional. It is one of the best studio upgrades one can make this year.
In simple terms:
- 610-A: Best for instant vintage tickness.
- 610-B: Best for shaping vocals and instruments with precision.
Additionally, you can use the Apollo DSP version with Unison preamp technology to get the most authentic 610 sound and experience.
