Overview
The result of a unique collaboration between live sound mixing experts Soundcraft and renowned plug-in manufacturer,Universal Audio,the Soundcraft Realtime Rack brings industry-standard UAD studio plug-ins to the Soundcraft platform. The Realtime Rack hardware and software delivers tight integration of Soundcraft Vi consoles and UAD Powered Plug-Ins,with (48 kHz) sub-2 millisecond latency and full snapshot store and recall with Soundcraft's CUE/Snapshot system. Realtime Rack's robust SHARC-based processors run audio over standard Optical MADI connections and dual-redundant internal power supplies ensure that audio signals keep running,even in the event of a power supply failure. Soundcraft Realtime Rack brings the stability of DSP and the sound quality that Soundcraft and Universal Audio are known for in a scalable,low-latency processing environment.


UAD Powered Plug-Ins. What Live Sound has been waiting for

Combining the intuitive Vistonics operator interface with pristine sound quality and powerful mixing features,the Soundcraft Vi Series is already established as the first-choice live sound mixing console for touring and installed applications worldwide. 

Now the new Soundcraft Realtime Rack provides access to Universal Audio's acclaimed analogue audio processing emulations and award-winning UAD plug-ins. Realtime Rack software gives Vi console operators all the control they need to insert UAD plug-ins on individual channels,auxiliary channels,and master busses - just as easily as real hardware. A comprehensive snapshot system allows total recall of all plug-ins and their settings,while tight network integration with the Vi Series ensures that all settings of the application are stored inside the console. 

Two versions are available: The Realtime Rack Ultimate Live with 74 plug-ins available,and theRealtime Rack Core Live with 14 plug-ins. Additional UAD plug-ins can be purchased any time from UA's Online store. 

The UAD Powered Plug-Ins platform offers the world's most authentic analogue hardware emulations and award-winning audio plug-ins. Powered by Universal Audio's DSP Accelerator hardware,UAD Powered Plug-Ins deliver rich,analogue sound quality that would be difficult or impossible to achieve with native recording systems. 

From rare compressors and equalizers,to vintage reverb processors and tape machines,UAD Powered Plug-Ins inject three-dimensional 'out-of-the-box' analogue sound to your mixes.
