«  The best card dsp? »

Published on 05/06/12 at 02:17
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Mainly used for mixing and mastering a few, means mounted on a pc in 2007 (out of date!).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.
