The UBK-2 is a three-stage dynamics processor that offers both serial and parallel audio paths, providing extensive control over the shaping, tonal qualities, and harmonic character of your sound. Building on the foundation of its predecessor, the UBK-1, this plugin delivers a unique approach to compression and saturation, allowing users to effortlessly dial in textures and movement that bring life and groove to mixes. Its design encourages intuitive interaction, making it suitable for quick creative adjustments as well as detailed sound sculpting.

Expanding on the original's capabilities, the UBK-2 retains the signature large control knob for dynamic shaping while introducing new compression presets that enable styles not achievable before, including a gentle, low-ratio option ideal for subtle mix buss compression. The plugin offers eight distinct compression curves, each with adjustable attack and release times, ensuring tight gain reduction matching for consistent output during curve switching. This flexibility allows both broad and fine-tuned control over the dynamics processing, catering to a wide range of mixing needs.

The UBK-2 also features dual saturation engines, positioned before and after compression, specifically voiced for different transient characteristics to enhance the audio signal naturally. Complementing these is a four-band equalizer powered by advanced algorithms, enabling precise tonal shaping. Monitoring is simplified through a unique Tri-Meter display, which simultaneously shows input, output, and gain reduction levels to facilitate level matching and dynamic adjustments with visual clarity. This combination of intuitive controls, rich tonal options, and detailed monitoring tools makes the UBK-2 a powerful and distinctive addition to any digital mixing environment.
