Universal Audio has extended its Half-Yearly Sale, offering huge discounts on UAD plugins and bundles. But it gets better. You can grab some of their premium plugins for as low as $0 (and a few others for only $4) with the SHAPEUA25 discount code.
Here’s the deal: the code SHAPEUA25 takes $25 off your total purchase, and there’s no minimum required amount in the shopping cart at checkout.. Since a couple of UAD plugins are already marked down to $19, you can get them absolutely free. Others, like the $29 plugins, drop to just $4.
However, the code only works once per account. So you can use it only for a single purchase (or free download).
On the bright side, the code works for both new and returning users, and you don’t need any UA hardware to run the native plugins.
Two picks available for free with the code are Teletronix LA-2A Tube Compressor and Verve Analog Machines Essentials. Both were free for a limited time at one point, but if you missed getting them then, here’s your chance.
The LA-2A is a go-to vocal compressor with smooth, tube-driven dynamics and a gentle learning curve. Verve Analog Machines offers four vintage-style saturation modules that add punch and warmth to your mix. It’s excellent for lo-fi, hip-hop, and experimental genres.
If you don’t mind spending $4 on a UAD plugin, there are a lot more options. For example, Galaxy Tape Echo and Teletronix LA-3A Classic Audio Leveler are both $29 each.
Another great pick is the Moog Minimoog, now $49 during the sale and only $24 after applying the code. That’s almost a no-brainer deal for such a legendary synth emulation.
After using the SHAPEUA25 code, UAD sends you another $25 voucher (this one requires a minimum $50 spend). So, if you’re planning to get multiple plugins, split your purchases to maximize savings.
There’s one thing to keep in mind, though. You’ll need to install UA Connect to download and authorize your new plugins. Not everyone loves license managers these days (as if anyone ever did), so I have to mention this here.
The UAD Half-Yearly Sale runs through July 14. All plugins run natively on macOS and Windows (no UA hardware needed) and are available in VST3, AU, and AAX formats.
