UAD Studio D Chorus
The UAD Studio D Chorus delivers the lush stereo width, smooth modulation, and rich analog character of one of the most iconic rackmount chorus units ever created. Developed by Universal Audio, this premium chorus plug-in faithfully recreates the sound and behaviour of a legendary studio chorus processor known for its warm bucket-brigade modulation and instantly recognizable spatial depth.
Famous for its use on vocals, guitars, synths, bass, electric pianos, and full mixes, the original hardware became a studio standard thanks to its ability to add dimension and movement without sounding exaggerated or artificial. The UAD version captures the subtle modulation, analog circuitry, and stereo imaging characteristics of the original unit with exceptional realism.
From subtle widening and thickening to immersive vintage modulation textures, Studio D Chorus delivers timeless analog chorus sounds perfectly suited for modern and vintage-inspired productions alike.
