The UA store at www.uaudio.com is where optional UAD plug‑in licenses can be

For complete details, see "Chapter 7: UA Account & Store" beginning on page 140.

Soundcraft Vi Series Consoles

Note: UAD-2 Live Rack can be used with any compatible MADI system.
Soundcraft Vi Series consoles are digital mixing/processing systems designed for use in a
live sound environment.
UAD‑2 Live Rack includes Vi console integration. Vi consoles integrate with UAD‑2 Live
Rack via two simultaneous control protocols:
MADI – Digital audio streams are routed between Vi consoles and the UAD‑2 Live Rack
hardware unit for signal processing via MADI optical I/O (note that all UAD plug‑in
signals are processed in the UAD‑2 Live Rack hardware unit, not in the Vi console). Use
the Vi Console's powerful Insert and patching system to route signals to and from the Vi
console via MADI.
Ethernet – Digital control signals, for saving and loading UAD‑2 Live Rack configuration
Snapshots (Vi CUEs), are routed between Vi consoles and the Mac computer running
UAD‑2 Live Rack software via Ethernet.

Soundcraft Realtime Rack

Soundcraft Realtime Rack was designed
and manufactured by Universal Audio, but
sold and distributed through Soundcraft by
Harman.
Realtime Rack is functionally similar to UAD‑2 Live Rack. The main difference between
the two is that Realtime Rack has Thunderbolt 2 ports (some earliest units have
Thunderbolt 1 ports), while UAD‑2 Live Rack has Thunderbolt 3 ports. UAD‑2 Live
Rack software can be used with Realtime Rack, and Realtime Rack can be combined
with UAD‑2 Live Rack in multi‑unit systems with appropriate Thunderbolt adapters and
cabling.
