![]() ![]() Consequently, the UAD software is of impeccably high quality, often cited as the best in any given category. That extra DSP processing power (it's got 8 SHARC processors) lets them write emulations of classic hardware without any compromises in the name of efficiency. The reason UAD continues to survive has little to do with the hardware, but everything to do with the software that runs on it. That need is largely gone now, and indeed the other products of that type such as the TC Powercore have gone away. Adding a computer-within-a-computer (or an outboard equivalent connected via Firewire/USB) allowed you to add more effects before reaching your computer's maximum capacity. Computers were far less powerful then and users often exhausted their CPUs. When those types of products first came along, they were generically referred to as "accelerators". Think of the UAD hardware as just another computer to run software on, which won't tax your main CPU. ![]() Now here comes my question (and yes I´m specificly asking for your personal opinion!) -): - Do you think it´s better to invest in real hardware or buy the ultimate bundle? - Is the UAD-software much better in results than other software, like the UAD-software-CA-2A compared to the CA-2A ProChannel-Plugin for Sonar? Thank you so much for your thoughts in advance. This card comes with a huge bundle of plugins and most of them emulates the hardware I was looking for. But there is this company called Universal Audio, which offers the UAD-2 OCTO Ultimate. ![]() I also thinking about getting hardware like a CA-2A amp and stuff. :-) I´m now working with a Roland UA-1610 Studio Capture which is eqipped with preamps but I want a external tube driven amp. I´m getting more and more to do and it´s become more than just a simple homestudio. I´m planning to buy some new stuff for my studio. UAD Software or a real preamp for recording, real hardware for compression? ![]()
