Default Is UAD worth it?

It definitely will outlive HDX.

If however, you wish to track with the plugins, but don't want to use Apollo, you're SOL because every single UA plugin reports over 1100 samples of latency, which makes it impossible to track with, on any other interface.

Yep, an Apollo is a fantastic tool, top notch in all ways. Honestly I could do just fine with one, but.....

1. I don’t like fussing with a 3rd party software program between the Apollo interface and PT.

2. PT hardware and controllers integrate so well with PT.

3. I need HD for the Icon....and HD is pretty much a waste with an Apollo (there isn’t much benefit)

4. I was pissed they didn’t bring Console 2 to the Silver FW devices sooner...(I honestly thought I had a dead duck that would not be supported in the future, I’m talking like 2 years they said they were going to make it happen and it didn’t)

4. I got a super deal on a HD Native setup ( in 2015)


Buuuut those 1176’s and LA2A’s sound ssooooo good.

The SSL Channel Strip is amazing (and I don’t even have unison)

And it’s the only option to track with Auto Tune currently.
