Re: Carbon plugins - what companies work?
Quote:
HDX and Carbon aren't really anything like UAD in use. Carbon has a hybrid engine, and both Carbon and HDX platforms utilise AAX-DSP and AAX-Native plugin types side by side. UAD doesn't do either of those. As a result, Carbon and a decent computer will maybe run 1000-1500 instances of Elysia Mpressor for the $4000. UAD on the other hand? You are probably looking at closer to $60,000 and 50 PCIe slots to run the same number of plugin instances. The whole reason I ended up with HDX is because the hardware costs 10 times less per plugin instance than UAD. I suspect a lot of people will buy an Avid Carbon for similar reasons, and a whole bunch more.

I was wrong to compare UA's library to Avid's which hasn't been developed in years (key parts of it anyway). The real question is what all's available in AAX-DSP. To me, it's still a bit limited and I prefer to have UA (which has lots of Softube/Brainworx/SPL etc included) + be able to use all the other stuff natively. But just my opinion, I'll not waste any more time here. Thanks for the list provided earlier.

It wasn't why I started the thread, but you're 100% correct, I'm wasting time. Thanks for pointing it out, seriously. Peace.

The studio at SOH ain't like any broadcast studio I have ever seen. It is tied into most of the venues in the building. There is no doubt UAD stuff is popular, but I don't know many engineers that would preference using an Apollo over an opportunity to track a band straight from the concert hall in a control room kitted out with some of the highest quality equipment going around, including $100k in ATC monitoring. If UAD is your sonic nirvana, more power to you good sir.

Re: Carbon plugins - what companies work?
some of us have upgraded from Apollo to this fine peice of machinery called carbon , so there is a good chance that we have spent lots dollars and was hoping some of the plugins work.

Re: Carbon plugins - what companies work?
To get back to the OP...
I have been using HDX for a long time. Most of what I need is available from Avid, Sonnox, McDSP, Brainworx and Softube. Sure, Avid, Sonnox and McDSP are "old" but the coding is superb and the plugins hold their own against any modern plugin I've used. How many colors do you need to paint with? I find that if I have too many plugin options I spent too much time picking the tool instead of staying in my creative mind. Dont forget the you can still use native plugins with Carbon, you just cant use them in the monitor path.
