If you're feeling frustrated that a lot of the music tech gear that was on display at last week's NAMM Show isn't actually available yet, fear not.
There's plenty of new software and hardware out there that you can buy, starting with the latest set of plugins for the UAD platform...
MusicRadar's verdict:
“UAD’s star is on the ascendant with this latest release. The Lexicon 480L is the highlight but all the new plugins sound great.”
