All user reviews of 5/5 for the Universal Audio UAD-2 Duo

Owner of a UAD 1 and frustrated by the limited number of rotatable plug the same time I've saved to spend on the new UAD 2 Duo ...
Mainly used for mixing and mastering a few, means mounted on a pc in 2007 (out of date!).

UTILIZATION

The drivers are super stable.
The number of cumulative effect depends on the resources, why we must rely on the UAD website which provides all information (chart instance).
FYI: Studer 800 20 mono as an insert on a project that seems to me not so bad ...

GETTING STARTED

The only regret for the implementation of the manual is in English, it must meet the installation procedure (the software first and then the map).
Procedure for "authorization" is pretty easy, even when the PC is not connected to the net.
I went without worry of the UAD 1 to UAD 2, keeping the card UAD 2 because I have only one port pcie ... the transfer of purchased plugins automatically.
The only difference with the UAD 1 is that to run the basic bundle of plug supplied with the card must still be the procedure of "authorization".

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for almost a week, no revolution because I was already a customer of UAD ... but access to the new plugins, the superior capabilities, quality plugs .... all meant that I do not regret my investment (found in less than 700 euros on the net).
Too early to judge the value for money ... but not much competition at this level.

What attracted me in DSUs, is the multitude of available plugs and still offers regular.

Embedded in a Mac Pro, it provides ...

I use it mainly for my mixes.

Easy installation, the site to register the card and to download the file permission.

OVERALL OPINION

I'm at DSU for some years.

I have been for 2 or 3 years, the proud owner of four UAD-1 cards and the desire to free up space in my Mac Pro as well as having access to the new plugs I was naturally led to the purchase of this card UAD-2 Duo.

This card is great, it relieves the CPU of your computer and to manage projects mix with a lot of instances at the same time.

A second UAD-2 Duo tempt me well but one is enough for now.

What characteristics have motivated your choice?

More power than the UAD1 or UAD2 solo and not enough money for the Quad.

With what tools or systems you use it? ...

Let's be honest about ProTools LE without managing its latency breaks the workflow, but if we can do at once personal and edit after I pass arrangement in Logic.
I'm on Mac.

For what purpose?

Mixing and Mastering

UTILIZATION

The drivers are stable?

yes but not on Mac 64-bit compatibility

What software do you use most often?

ProTools and Logic WaveEditor

How many tracks do you manage to record / playback simultaneously? ...

What latency you get?

Protools goes under its super fast but the ATA plug is available, but not ideal because its good cut in our idea.

His is all one and the manual is well done. No 64-bit Mac, and Windows XP I am still with
