UAD (native plugins)

Status: reported, mixed · last checked 2026-08-10

Second-hand reports, not a compatibility guarantee — nobody here retested this. Read the caution before relying on it.

Genuinely mixed, and the thread has now been read: one poster could not get the installer to work at all, another had the plugins running via iLok machine authorisation and then stopped for stability reasons. Two people, one thread, so this stays reported, mixed rather than being promoted. Nothing in the yabridge tracker.

Caveats and fixes

UAD hardware and its drivers are out of scope — this is about the plugin binaries only.
The account that worked started with iLok machine authorisation, then 'lots of dll's'. The poster could not reconstruct the steps, so there is no recipe here.
Softube plugins never worked for that same poster.
