Considering getting a UAD-2 Solo/Laptop - Your 2 cents is appreciated

Thinking really hard about pulling the trigger here. For one, UAD makes some of the best FX plug ins you can get. #2 it will relieve my processor quite a bit. And #3 it has an extension that allows it to be hooked up to a desktop or laptop. Finally, it's just $499 which is a steal. Just wish the plug-in voucher was a little more. The desk top version at $699 has a $500 voucher!

Thanks guys

I was say take a look at a TC Powercore too but i've just noticed they don't do a portable model anymore.

Poo.


The bundled plugs are far more generous than the UAD cards, and mostly very good too.

Plus you can get the Virus plug and also the VSS3 reverb (aaaawesome)

you know I already own a Virus, right? Read my sig!

i would also check out liquid mix

I've done some research on the UAD-2 SOLO and i think its worth every penny if a) you own a laptop and make music primarily through it and b) you are getting more progressed in your skills as a producer and want to use many effects, channels and begin getting more serious as a producer.

Will save you on your laptop's performance, if you really feel you are ready to get to the next step of making beats, i say go for it. If not sure still, go with your instinct!

You ever figure out how those mixer thingies work? It will take you to the "next step of making beats", bro.

You really are just an asshole.

Nothing else I can think of would describe you better. Is your cock small? What else could possibly explain your insatiable urge to shit on everyone who doesn't meet your standards?

And don't tell me thats not what your doing. You are absolutely talented at being a pos.

On the other hand he contributed just as much valuable information as the guy he quoted .

@Stephen: What's more important, the uad flexibility and being available on multiple pc's or the $500 voucher so you can buy a couple of the most interesting plugins the UAD has to offer? We can't answer that question for you. .

without a question pull the triggeer on this. I own a liquid mix, owned a powercore and have 3 UAD-1 cards in my computer (soon to be UAD2 probably next summer). UAD makes the best plugs man, very versatile where as the liquidmix only does EQ & Compressors UAD does verbs, delays, lots of other things too. I say step into the UAD world, you won't be disappointed.

I can't dispute that you do make a point.

from what i've read, its not something beginners want to get. Frees up your laptop's CPU. Ok my terms were too broad, i get it, i was just pointing out the purpose of the product. I'm a beginner, it is a product that does interest me but i dont have to get it yet.
Sheesh some people are so absorbed in their own egos, instead of playing the wannabe-know-it-all it would be better if the bad half of this community made an effort to be more positive and corrected newbs mistakes instead of using sarcastic insults.
Eh but im not going to fight an idiot, dont want to go down to his pathetic level.

Get it. I <3 my UAD-Quad. I have almost all the plugins for it. Every one is gold.

Thats usually what it boils down to. I don't have to deal with them in real life because I can tell them to get the fuck away from me. On here if you do that they never leave..

No, but that doesn't have anything to do with this anyway.

I find it entertaining.

Don't worry, I won't.

A psychologist might disagree with you.

Theres a difference between entertainment and being easily amused.

You can't, unless you want to look like a HYPOCRITICAL asshole. At least you show some degree of damage control ability.

I actually am

Right, and I didn't. I don't quite get the point of you even saying this, though. It's almost like saying "HAY U BETTAR B GLAD U DINT SAY U HAS A SMALL PENIR CUS IF U DID UD B A GUY WITH A SMALL PENIR"

What damage am I trying to control?

Most depressed people don't realize they're depressed.
If you were a happy person, you would treat people with kindness and consideration. Happy people also have no reason to shit on other people because they feel good about themselves, the urge naturally isn't there.

You shit on people for no reason, you obviously have self esteem issues. I don't give a shit if you realize it, but try taking some Lexapro if you must.

I'll explain the point.
The point is you have a character deficit that you compensate for by being a deushbag. It might not be a small penis, maybe its when you found out the first girl you fvcked was really a tranny, maybe your daddy never hugged you. I simply pointing out the fact something is there, and you've learned to cope with it by boosting your ego on account of randomly insulting people who you don't even fucking know.

You OBVIOUSLY have a problem.

quote:

Originally posted by hexadecimal What damage am I trying to control?

You're trying to pretend that its alright to be an asshole if you are PROUD to be one.
I'm simply telling you, you might think its alright to have sex with dead animals, it still doesn't mean its right.

If you wanna spread hate, and make the world a more bitter place, have fun doing so. If you do it around me, I'm calling you the fuck out. Will it do anything? Obviously not, but you knowing I think you're a POS is just as important as you thinking you need to shit on people who haven't done a fucking thing to you.

Well whats really pathetic is the fact you wouldn't be dumb enough to act like that in real life, cause you would have gotten enough ass beatens to learn otherwise.
You do it here because you can get away with it, and that makes you a coward pure and simple.

Now please, no more questions.

The thing is, I'm not an asshole to people I give a shit about.

Thanks for the free counseling, though. It helped.

I am pretty much exactly like this in "real life", by the way.

All you have to do to avoid me treating you like a moron, is not be a moron.

Originally posted by hexadecimal The thing is, I'm not an asshole to people I give a shit about.

All that means is someone hasn't taught you to be nice to strangers, or you haven't learned.
But all I will say is I would much rather prefer to be remembered as a kind respectable man then some fuckn smartass.

And I will give you a really good reason why.
The guy in this thread you demeaned because he obviously bothered you in some way fair enough? He acted like a "moron" right?
What if, I'm saying just what if this kid/guy has done some decent pretty cool things in his life?

What if he saved someones life as a lifeguard? What if he did charity work for a disease one of your family members had? What if hes done just 2 things to make this world a better place?
Think about it, you're making a judgment based one *1* really minor trait of him,
when releastically hes prob a lot smarter, cooler, better then that.

It makes you closeminded and like you think very low of people. I dont know why you are like that, nor obviously do you.

Anytime.

Yeh fuckn right, see how big of a moron you just were? You're worst then the person you attacked. If you said that to any guy in real life, just walked up to a stranger you overheard say something dumb, and indirectly insulted them like a coward, you would have absolutely gotten at least one good ask kicking to learn otherwise. And again, you CAN say this because its the internet. Problem is you don't even know wtf you are saying.

Saying one thing stupid doesn't make you a moron. Which again makes you technically a moron for thinking that.
And noone else in this thread is treating YOU like a moron so why are you treating someone else like a moron? When you continually insist on making moronic statements yourself? Makes no fuckn sense..

what i dont get is that hexadecimal doesnt realize that he too used to be a newb in this hobby so i dont understand why he would consider me a "moron". By his theory he used to be a moron too and probably a bigger one at that since he's from the states

JOKING

Anyways whatever kind of respect he puts towards others is a reflection of the respect he has towards himself, plain and simple.

^ Same old shit, different day...

Stephen, I can't give you advice because I've never owned a UAD product. But based on people's opinions I think you'd be making a pretty good choice. The card seems very handy indeed.
