I am thinking about getting 2nd UAD card.

I have a 2.2Ghz P4 w/ P4B533-V. & 1 gig ram.
Should this work ok. Are there any known problems?
Will be UAD processing/memmory headroom go up by 100% or like 50% or something?

Cheers,

I just bit the bullet and bought this plugin for my UAD card, and so far, I think I am in love! I am still trying to get my brain around all the ins and outs of it, but it looks like it is a really fine piece of work. I guess it is supposed to be an Oxford clone, but for the price (US$149), I don't see how that is possible.

Hi,

I had a friend 'master' a track of mine with the UAD-1. Although my mix was a bit weak, the results were. well let's say I want one :)

I've heard that using them on individual tracks is not working very well in Logic audio...bigtime latency. Anyone using this effectively? Should I just switch to nuendo now? I'd love to strap the 1176 on some drums. .

Hey Everybody!

Dear Friends,

Dear Friends,
I have a huge problem with latency when using UAD-1 plugin card in logic 5.5. Delay compensation plugin doesn't help much. What should I do? Is there something I have to set in logic's options?

tnx,

chris

Univeral Audio (and Mackie!) have released version 3.0 of their Powered Plug-ins. Support for multiple cards, the new Oxford EQ (demo only until you pay!), and other features.

I have not installed yet (I'm gonna wait a week or 2 to be safe!), but you can get it here:

Hi All,
I just wander if you have any experience with UAD-1 powered plugins card made by Univesal Audio and distributed by Mackie? I am mixing almost entirely (except that sometimes i reamp or use external reverb) in Logic Audio 5.10, and I'm a bit tired with the sound quality of software plugins. I heard that UAD-1 sounds really great.

I finally picked up a UAD-1
I am using it with FXspansion's 4.2 beta VST adapter
Using it under wavelab using the wrapper, no problem works great
Using it in sound forge i get some weird problems.
Mainly when I load a second plug, it will say something like "this plugin could not load, expected buffer size is 512 buffer is 2408"

Question for the masters. .Should i keep the dbx Quantum for the better clock/compression/eq/limiter or do you think it wiser to buy a UAD 1 card for the plugs for recording and mastering? Is the clock mucho importante or what? thanks mark
