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 ...

...not the first time...

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

still have some KeyDisks flying around...

Rail

didn't this happen for all intents and purposes 3 years ago?

hey rail

I see you've been burning the midnight oil!

anyway i talked to UA at Namm. they basically said that they were not making enough $$$ on their TDM plugs. with pt 7 you can use their card and plugins via RTAS and the pt delay compensation thingy will deal with any latency issues. Also i've been told on several occasions that their plugs sound better on their cards than they do via tdm. It looks like i'm gonna have to get an expansion chasis to take advantage of all the new cool stuff that is coming.

Tell me...is there any end to my case of GAS???

They sure haven't tried very hard to market or sell them.

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.

[Dan Pinder]

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.
