UAD Labs: Preview New UAD Products & Share Feedback
Preview new music-making concepts and tools to help shape what’s next.
UAD Labs gives you a seat at the table early. Preview experiments for new product concepts, UI/UX designs, and functionality — then tell us what you think. Your feedback shapes what we build.

UAD Labs is your front-row seat to what’s being researched at Universal Audio. It's a place to preview, interact and to give us your feedback.
What is UAD Labs?
Inside the UA Connect App, UAD Labs surfaces new ideas in small drops — early designs, new workflows and features still in progress. It only takes a few minutes: test a new idea, share your take, and help shape what happens next.
This is your chance to influence the products we create.
What Do You Get with UAD Labs?
Depending on the experiment, UAD Labs can include:
- Early access to ideas and features related to music-making products
- Hands-on previews of new designs and music creation tools
- Opportunities to share what you like, what’s missing, and what we could improve
Any feedback you share will influence our product teams, helping us decide what to build, what to refine, and what to ship.
How Does UAD Labs Work?
We don’t send everything to everyone. Based on your survey responses and owned UA products, we’ll send an invite when there’s a good fit.
You can view experiments you’ve been invited to in a dedicated UAD Labs tab within the UA Connect app.
