Universal Audio, a privately owned company headquartered in the US, was founded in 1958 and operates with an estimated 350 employees. Specializing in music production tools, the company develops analog hardware, including the LA-2A and 1176, and Apollo audio interfaces. It also provides digital emulations of analog gear through its UAD Plug-In platform.
On June 24, 2026, NoiseWorks Audio updated its VoiceAssist plug-in, adding a Mouth De-Click module to the Advanced tier. This update also made VoiceAssist Basic available to Universal Audio LUNA users, expanding its vocal and dialogue clean-up capabilities by addressing small, sharp transients that occur between words and are typically time-consuming to remove manually. Previously, on June 12, Universal Audio offered discounts until June 30 on selected products, including up to 12% off Volt USB Recording Studio interfaces, 50% off the LUNA Pro DAW system, and nearly 75% off selected UAD native plugins like the API 2500 and Avalon VT-737. Earlier in the month, on June 3, Universal Audio released Topline Vocal Tune, a new pitch correction plugin within its Topline vocal processing suite. Available to UAD Spark subscribers and as a standalone native purchase, the plugin launched at an introductory price of $73 / €75, representing a 21% discount from standard pricing. Topline Vocal Tune features ultra-low-latency monitoring, allowing singers to hear corrected pitch through headphones in real time without distracting delays.
