Frequently Asked Questions

Unison models the impedance and gain characteristics of specific hardware preamps, allowing plugins to interact realistically with your microphone signal – it's a significant step beyond simple preamp emulations.
While UAD processing does consume CPU resources, it’s offloaded to the dedicated DUO processor, minimizing impact on your host computer's performance and providing near-zero latency.
The Heritage Edition features a subtle warmth and vintage character baked into the converters and preamps, aiming for a more classic, analog feel – it's a slight tonal shift catering to those seeking a particular aesthetic.
