Producer Johnny McDaid on UAD-2 Plug-Ins

Snow Patrol associate Johnny McDaid is the first producer signing to their publishing company Polar Patrol. Originally hailing from Derry, Northern Ireland, McDaid went on to form his own group Vega4 in London, finding commercial success signed to Columbia Records. As the band ran its course this led to work producing artists; and so began FieldWork Music studio and recent work with artists such as Example, Gary Go, Eurovision-winner Lena and long-term collaborations Paul Van Dyk, as well as nurturing a steady stream of young musicians beginning their careers.

Originally relying heavily on Logic Pro's factory plug-ins, the search for something superior led to Universal Audio's UAD Powered Plug-Ins. McDaid chose a UAD-2 Quad Omni card for FieldWork Music's Logic Pro-powered Mac Pro system. We dropped by FieldWork Studio to discuss UAD-2, music production, and more...

@MrJc0284 It'll need to be an older one, as the new MBP's don't have an ExpressCard slot anymore...alternatively consider a UAD Satellite or an Apollo of course!
