Been a user since the firewire version came out. I just love that its DSP, and the plugins feels more "real" than the usual ones, with exceptions of course. But overall it's my go-to gear to use. complements what I do very well.
Thank you for the Satellite!

Quite satisfied with the satellite.
I don't believe one can operate a fully functioning environment with just a few max'd out plug-ins unless it's a soloist, straight up simple mix. For me I require multiple instances with varying verbs, the studio environment plug-ins, the two bus out requirements..it adds up to needing more processors and the OCTO more than helped the smoothness of each plug-in's operation in the context of a dense mix..Thank you.

Great!
Oh, through in the thunderbolt cable!

Great!
I'm now running an Apollo 8duo tb and a quad satellite tb. Works flawlessly and installation is easy. You really need the extra quad power with the apollo 8 because you run rather quickly out of dsp power of the apollo. The unison plugins take a lot of power. Plugins sound really great. The pre-amps nab converter sound very full but natural. Unison plugins really add to the sound. Very happy with the system.

UAD-2 Satellite Thunderbolt FREE Promo!
First, I want to thank Universal Audio for the FREE UAD-2 Thunderbolt QUAD. And as an additional bonus, they gave me $100 credit towards a plugin purchase, just for registering the UAD-2! I didn't realize the box has some weight to it (almost 6lbs), so it will set nicely on my studio table! This, along with my Apollo 8 DUO, is a major upgrade for my home studio! Not having to worry about resoucres being taxed on my DAW, will give me peace of mind, and better mixes! Looking forward to purchasing more UA products in the future! I'm very impressed with what I have so far. I hope you guys have more promos like this for the 2016 Christmas season! I will write more reviews as I use my units more. Peace and blessings!

UAD Magic Box Really is A Game Changer
The UAD Sattelite 2 Really is A Game Changer!
The ability to run a full complement of UAD plug-ins is quickly transforming the way I mix- but more than that, advancing the way I select tones while composing and arranging, since the greater processing power enables more experimentation with the way various preamps and EQs etc enhance the instrument sounds.
Eventually I'll have three of these boxes, love that it's so portable as well!
Well done UAD!

All the power I need
I love my TB OCTO Satellite. Kinda sucks that it does not help on your Apollo inputs, but it is great when mix time comes. 99% of my time is spent tracking, but this Satellite makes the1% of mixing very nice.

SO MUCH POWER
Now my spaceship can achieve WARP SPEED. I can blow up any enemy in my way. In all seriousness..i have 2 octo's now..and it is AMAZING to be able to strap UA plugs on at will with no concern for DSP. If you can afford...do it

UAD Satellite
Got my promotional Satellite FREE when I purchased an Apollo 8 Quad November 2015...I was included in the promotion even though i was outside of the catchment date!
Having the Apollo Quad already, i just plugged and played (after downloading the software).
The additional DSP has enabled me to use heaps of plugins undeterred by processor overload fear.
The plugins themselves are amazing and i can't rate Universal Audio enough.

Makes mixing so easy I just may buy another one.
It's been said before and it's 100% true - there's no question that UAD plugins are simply best of breed. The DSP usage of some of the newer generation UAD2 plugins however makes you end up choosing between great plugins when you've just got an Apollo Twin. You can "freeze" tracks in Logic to save DSP but you cannot do that with buses - which is where I find I do most of my compression/limiting/eq. Being able to daisy chain multiple Thunderbolt satellites in my setup is a god send. Even with just a quad satellite it's opened the possibility of using multiple instances of MKII plugins that otherwise I would have had to disable, going with Legacy versions instead. I love it!

Completely changed the way I mix!
I have heard about UA stuff for a while now, but have been hesitant to take the plunge. I have to say that the satellite that I recently purchased is amazing and so are the plugs. My UAD has taken so much of the strain away from my computer that I can actually mix like I used to on an analog console. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this to my friends. Such a great addition to my mix room.

Satellite Quad TB
Great tool, making fun to work with it.

This is a killing system !
I was a Creamware/SonicCore customer as I did believe in working with SHARC DSPs. I sold my 2 PowerPulsar cards as the software was not running on Mac OS X when I switched from PC and because they did not propose plugins replicas of the music industry standards, I discovered UAD2. So I did acquire the UAD-2 Satellite Thunderbolt OCTO Ultimate 4 together with the Apollo Twin Thunderbolt: 10 DSPs in total as the SonicCore XITE-1 but loaded with fabulous plugins and seamless integration with my DAW. Next level: bring in synthesizers like the Acces Virus for a much better integration than the TI Desktop. Thanks a lot: the quality of my productions has improved a lot.

Loving my Satellite
Gives me the DSP power to comfortably utilise my UAD plugins in the right way. I was struggling to manage my resources using the Apollo on its own, I've just completed the best sounding remix I've ever made and UAD meter and CPU meter both only at 50%. This gives me far more power than upgrading my IMac would so the purchase was a no brainier. I see many people are moaning about Thunderbolt cables but I understand that Apple does not permit you to supply one, so it's not the fault of UAD. Keep coming with the deals on plugins and be happy to keep buying.... UAD has has seriously bridged the gap for me from being a bedroom producer to a professional one who receives regular radio play.
