Universal Audio and TDM

[Rail Jon Rogut]

Any truth to the rumour they're stopping support for TDM?

Hi Rail,

I talked to one of my friend in Paris who's is distributing their products;
He told me they're stopping development for TDM to concentrate on their DSP platform : They will abandon the Quad pack offer soon.
Sad, because those are great plugs ...

Well I would hope that even if they don't plan on developing for TDM, they at least continue to sell their current TDM offerings. Their compressors are among my very favorites.

Yes.. but what about when you switch to a MacTel system? On XP they didn't even bother to make Pro Tools 7.x compatible versions. I agree, the compressors were among the best.

Let's hope they create an outboard box, something via ethernet maybe.

That's sad. I still prefer their compressors to anything else and have written them twice, imploring them to make their limiter in a TDM plug-in. Does anybody have experience with the UA card running under the wrapper? I still have a hard time thinking that it's NOT a kludge.

It doesn't suprise me as they are jumping into bed with Neve and they want to be hardware company as there is for more money in hardware than software (Just Ask Digdesign). I think they feel with systems becomeing more powerful they probably think that TDM is more money to develop for and the market is probably now a lot smaller compared to the native market.
I just feel sorry for customers that purchased UA products. With Macintels on the horizon all the old users are going to shut in a couple of years down the road. I was a betting man I would thiank that a another company would scoop up the code from them and continue to develop them. Unless UA may want to burn the code so no other company can compete with them.

...not the first time...

when they acquired Kind of Loud, all KOL products disappear.

still have some KeyDisks flying around...

I agree,

I still have Realverb Pro 5.1 surround reverb plug-in, which was really good and expensive one. UA never offered any up/downgrade path to anything...
