Never thought about the familiarity aspect but i think you are spot on there Noiseboyuk They do sound awesome but as you said - We have some fine equally great alternatives that run natively and uses far less CPU aswell as costing a third.

Re: Is UAD worth it?
For me, UAD is worth every penny, every cent.
And yes, I am not going into any discussion on this. I've seen too many threads on the cons and pros. Not going anywhere ... Btw ... These days I am downgrading the ITB part of my studio setup. So I am selling out most of my Native Plugins. Simply don't need (most of them) no more. But I am keeping the UAD. Its just better ... for me.

Re: Is UAD worth it?
I agree 100% I have a lot of plugins just see my signature. The list goes on an on but UAD are the main ones I use second would be Softube.

Along with Console 1. Great unit, both for UAD and Softube plugins.

Re: Is UAD worth it?
I went from an HDX2 to a UAD setup that eventually grew to an Apollo Quad + (3) Octos. Now, I just have 1 Apollo and use 90% native plugins. Mostly PA and Slate working at 96khz.

You are in a unique position to answer this so I really hope you see this post. I understand all the individual plugin latencies of all UA's plugins, what I am after is the base latency. You can easily test this by inserting an older UA MK1 plugin into the HDX mixer, as the MK1 plugins are not upsampled and don't have additional latency.. Therefore the latency will only be whatever the latency is to deal with dsp to dsp system.. So, the scenarios I am after is one UA plugin inserted on an audio track with no other plugins, and one UA plugin inserted on a different track in conjunction WITH a hdx aax dsp plugin, where I think the latency will be higher. I want to make sure that the low ADC value of pro tools is enough to take care of being able to at least use a couple UA plugins on a track if I want to. I can work out the rest myself as I know all the individual plugin latencies, and I can add them to the base latency after to work out what will be usable and what won't be. Would really, really appreciate this.. Knowing this will determine whether I sell my 4 satellites and all my UAD plugins along with them. Cheers

Re: Is UAD worth it?
It’s HDX... there are no “low ADC”values... unless you mean 16k samples is low?
The latency depends on your use...Additional latency above any in the UAD plugin should be 2X the buffer size. So 1k samples? x2 Hopefully you are careful with plugin ordering and do not interweave UAD and HDX/DSP plugins You are running large sessions right? With all tracks live/no freeze/commit? Do you understand how many HDX cards you will need? |
