A Worthwhile addition
Developing my ability to apply appropriate UA Plug-ins to my Logic X mixes, replacing the Logic Plug-ins - the Octo really helps here. Yes it's adding up to a lot of money but the functionality is pleasing and it's making a difference :) m

Dem "Gear-Aquisition-Syndrom" erlegen
Lieber Leser.
Ich benütze das Gerät mit OSX high Sierra.
Die schöne glatte Oberfläche ist sehr anmutig. Wenn es dieses Teil mit TB3 gäbe wäre es noch schöner. Nun muss ich wieder mal „rumdongeln“.
Nach dem ich nun, nach dem Kauf meines eher schwachbrüstigen Arrows, dem Gear-Aquisitions-Syndrom erlegen bin und zu wenig CPU-Power hatte, musste nun ein weiteres UA Kästchen her; habe ich doch einige Tausender in den Schlund von UA gesteckt und werde dadurch wohl über die nächsten Jahre daran zu kauen haben. (ja, ich habe immer brav auf die „stark reduzierten“ Deals geschaut) Nichtsdestotrotz gefallen mir die Plugins und alles tut wie es soll. Na ja, wenn ich es direkt an mein Arrow hängen könnte, wäre es noch schöner. Oder jammere ich vielleicht auf zu hohem Niveau?

UAD-2 Octo Thunderbolt Satellite
UAD-2 Octo Thunderbolt Satellite is excellent with 8 cores of processing power. The way I load up plugins with console strips and analog recorders on every track, I require a tremendous amount of processing power and 3 linked Octos does the trick!

Big power in a small package!!!
Great power boost to my UAD setup. I probably will add another at some point sooner than later.
a. forlani
Easy and powerfull
Francly this device will boost up you system. The informatic world is leading towards less weight on the cpu, so UAD has the technology to let you manage big projects with ease. I own two of them....i am very happy. I wish we could rack mont'em, i did it anyways with a DIY solution.

Horsepower O Plenty But...
I got a "free" Octo satellite thunderbolt connector w the purchase of an 8P quad. So no complaints and a lot of horsepower . My only wish is that the DSP could be used while tracking live, and not only during mix down. This limitation should be better communicated in the marketing info. Its completely left out. In fact its a common issue raised on the UAD Forum. Other than that. UAD is a ridiculously great product line. Would like to see an OX update w more cabs, including a 15 inch JBL D 130f, in the blackface 60s cabinets from a Showman or bassman.

Thunderbolt Apollo & Satellite
Well, I first thought that the Satellite wasn't a very useful device. But I changed my mind : it is absolutely necessary ! My Apollo Quad wasn't able to manage enough plug-ins at mixdown, and even sometimes when tracking. Now I can afford about 35 plug-ins ata the same time ( I've read some review talking about 70, but frankly I couldn't run so many) . And that's enough for me...for the moment. I wonder how it could works with more consistant plug-ins, as I only use the legacy ones from the Classic Bundle.
Anyway, the main advantage ot all this, is that now my computer's CPU is sleeping most of the time ! So the DAW (Logic Pro X on Retina Mac ) is available for other tasks.
Now everything is thundebolted and apollised, no latency at all (great when overdubbing) .
By the way, let me tell I'm making songs in my home studio. No tronics but only miking everything from acoustics to electrics ( vox, guitars, basses, drums, keys, saxes and so on ) .

At Studio 52 our 48 Core System is a Superpower!
We own 6 of the Octo units giving us an incredible 48 cores of plug in power spread between our two main studios at Studio 52 (Empire Music Studios). We own almost all of the available plugs from UA and all our engineers generally seem to be using them in preference to the other major plug-in libraries we own. We are extremely happy with the UA system along with all of our UA analog gear.

A Worthwhile addition
Although this doesn't allow the addition of more plug-in power in Console it does spread CPU load when extra plug-ins are used in my DAW and, of course, in mixdown. Quite a cost-effective addition to my Apollo Twin Quad. :)m

Sometimes its just better to have TWO!
I run Pro Tools using templates I create. It got to a point where the main template that I use with voice and voice effects and sound effects coupled with music was just bogging down. UAD told me to freeze tracks. I just went ahead and got another Satellite and Daisy- Chained them together as I would rather just have a complete workflow and not freeze tracks. Now lots of power and pace to add whatever I need. In the end, I think it was worth it. I voice and produce spots for Radio and TV, and speed is critical especially these days.

Plug-Ins Issue Resolved
Experienced a HUGE problem receiving all the plug-ins ordered, but after going back and forth with the support team, they delivered what was originally promised.
