This is one of the reviews I found about the UAD-1 card
"sorry, this card is garbage..."
Althought the plugins sound very good, I own a real 1178 and LA-2 and though the plugins don't sound anywhere near as good as the real deal, they sound as good as any plugin can, you are very limited to the amount of them you can use a the same time AND it's architecture requires that you create extra aux and bus configurations to fix it's hardware issues (explained below) so that you don't really buy back much processing power from your CPU anyway (certainly not $600 worth of it!). the card's latency is incredibly problematic and frustrating and many extra steps are requried to compensate for it (and that only sort of fixes it), so a lot of time is wasted configuring your system to grudgingly use the UAD plugins where as a native plugin would be up and running perfectly, instantly... Go with the Waves plugins instead, they rock, there are NO issues with them, and they're not that much more expensive! If you.re having plugin problems because your CPU is old and tired or you don't have enough RAM, this card is not the answer... the answer is: it's time to upgrade your system! |

Not trying to turn this into a UAD-1 thread, but I've heard a lot of negatives about it's compatibility like mentioned above. The Cambridge EQ and Pultec are by all accounts wonderful, but at what cost. I would love to get some definitive answers about the UAD-1. If anyone here has it or knows a lot about it, start another thread about it.
And, I like A&B kicks. |

| id say right now that luke chables kicks are very pleasing to listen to. in each of his originals or remixes, the kicks keep the roundness and slight pop in the high end. they dont wear on the ears and keep the full dynamic low end sound that makes it boomy and cut through the mix. |

| I have heard nothing but good about the Pultec EQ. I also head that the 1176 sounds quite nice. Thanks for the links TE. |

I said that was a quoted review if you read carefully.
It seems to me you're feeling a little vulnerable today, 'cause some of the UAD-1 weaknesses were exposed. But that's not my problem, I was just trying to help. If you want to go out and blow $600... go ahead. |

| Vunerable?, no I think it's lack of education on your part.Who the hell are you coming on the thread with your 'copy & paste" review. Why don't u do a little researh and maybe actually go out and listen to it before you post irrelevant reviews. Why didn't you quote from a respected sound engineer or musician rather than some nobody on zsounds. Buying a uad-1 card isn't blowing it's being smart. Go on KVR and ask what people think of the UAD-1, no hardware or software is perfect. that's why we have updates and upgrades Einstein. Go listen to a Pulser track then come talk to me about bad reviews. I've heard guys bitch that Mackie hr824's suck, I've heard reviews where guys said Genelecs were crap and that Behringers were better. You think I'm gonna base my decision on a purchase based on what some dude wrote on some forum. I did my research, I've heard it, and the jury is in, Uad-1 rules, and u suck. Now get lost! |

I emailed The Thillseekers http://www.thethrillseekers.co.uk/
One of the best Trance producers of all time. Take a look at the Discography. These guys are legends. I emailed them.
Message: Hey guys great work on Santa Cruz. I wonder if I can ask you a quick question, I noticed you have a UAD-1 card in your studio list. Do you use this card in your tracks. Is it worth getting? Any feedbackwould be appreciated. cheers
Reply: I max out the UAD on every mix....love it
Enough said! |
