Does UAD make software plugins that don't require a PCI card? or are they all ran off the pci card?

How does it work? Upgrades?

If they do make software plugins, do they sound any different then the PCI ones?

Thanks for the help,

I know this post will reflect personal preference (if anyone replies), and i will use mine when i go to the store and listen to my reference disc.

I started recording songs for fun in high school in the 80s on a 4 track. I took a decade off and got back into it a few years ago and made a CD and now I'm doing my second. I did it all cheap in my basement. My friends, who know nothing about recording, think it sounds great, but I always think it could sound better. I have an opportunity to buy an UA LA610 for $800.

Anyone tried one of these? How noisy is it?

I've got a little bit of experience with Universal Audio plugins on a friend's system that has a UAD-2 solo but I've never had hands on with any of the Powercore hardware or plugins. I'm thinking about getting either a UAD-2 Duo Flexi or the Powercore Express. The Powercore comes with 14 plugins and a $500 voucher and I can get that new for $850.

I am an owner of a loaded-to-the max UAD-1. I do not have much experience with it though.

I am now using Wavelab to mix & master my first serious demo project.

Although I have Waves Diamond Bundle & Ozone 4, I predict the UAD-1 effects are superior.

My project has a few crappy merged/distorted takes (easily revealed when adding master EQ and effects).

I am having what sounds like latency issues when I use my UAD 1 card and TC elctronics power core (both pci e cards running on a G5 with 4.5 gigs ram and a glyph external hard drive-- I also have a glyph internal hard drive but I want to also mix on the external hard drive) during the mixing process any ideas on how to fix this issue?

I recently just purchased a UA 2192 and had a question on monitoring. I have the outputs from the UA going directly into my monitors but the problem is that there is no volume control on the 2192 and it makes it very difficult to work with when tracking or mixing.
