Mix Power
I recently purchased an Octo Sattelire thunderbolt unit and am in love with it. I can now get pro results from my home studio. I have been using the pro tools plug ins up until now and what a difference to the final product. The Octo gives me the grunt to run multiple plugs and the sound of the plug ins are brilliant! I couldn't be happier with the product. I am working on an album at the moment and on most tracks running large plug in counts I have only touched 60% usage on the Octo with an Apollo duo. A big thank you I can now run Neve or pultec eqs and comps on every channel and the Ocean way plugin and several instances of the Lexicon reverb.. I am stoked!

Sounds Are Great!
The UAD system plugins sound phenomenal, some of the best modeling of analog gear out there. The QUAD was easy to set up and so far has run without a hitch. It greatly speeds up my workflow since its easier to get good tones quickly with their plugins. The QUAD is just enough for me to mix a medium-large sized full band session. Eventually, I'll be looking into an Apollo to beef up the DSP a bit, but all in all, if you're careful about how liberal you are with plugin chains, this should be more than enough to do even large sessions justice. Excellent product, excellent company.

The latest "Gen" UAD plugins are amazing but very DSP hungry, this is the link that ties it all together by letting you run more "virtual outboard gear" than was ever possible in a traditional studio! Perfect size and excellent build.
Satellite Octo just starts up and works every time, even when traveling it between different systems. What more can you ask for from a piece of kit?

Life changer.
If you own an Apollo (or Duo), and are a UA plugin addict/user, this is a must have addition to your rig if you do any mixing what so ever. Easiest setup ever.

Great Investment
I use UA plugs on every mix. The satellite quad gives me lots of processing power in a convenient, portable package. I'm no longer tethered to the desktop.
The UA plug emulations are exceptional. I plan on buying an Apollo interface as well.

Lucky to have POWER!!!
Simple to setup and get rolling. This is an add on to a Quad Apollo. Plugin, follow the prompts and you've got power!!!

UAD with DP9
Absolutely the best out there, I had in the past owned some of the original hardware and I now love the fact that I can use my UAD plugins with my Quad, and Satellite thunderbolt, and feel so confident that my work will be at the highest level thanks to Universal Audio, the pro's product. Works fantastic with MOTU Digital Performer, so much headroom. If you take your work as serious as I do, you will do yourself a great favour with UAD plugins, anything else is second best!

There Is No End
I love UAD plugs and DSP, but I want to react to a comment above from the guy who bought an Octo and said something to the effect of "I'll never have to worry about running out of DSP resources again".
I am here to warn you all, that the more you have, the more you use! I had a Quad Satellite and 2 SHARCs on my Apollo interface, but I needed more - so I bought an Octo card. And I thought I would never run out of DSP again.
That lasted about a year. I just purchased an Octo Satellite, but I no longer expect that I will never purchase another.
First, the plugins keep getting a) more powerful and b) more resource hungry. Second, the more you use, the more you want. I now refuse to mix a channel that does not have a Neve 88RS on it.

Plenty of DSP
I went from Apollo Duo & Quad satellite to The Apollo 8 & Octo satellite with thunderbolt ,can't beat it plenty of DSP for the Unison Technology to all the new plugins to use .Another great addition to UA ,also came with FREE plugins

Octo Thunderbolt is smokin' !!!
I love the OCTO Thunderbolt. Running it with the Twin Duo. I'm able to daisy chain the 5K iMac, the LG 34inch 34UC97-S with Thunderbolt 2 with no lag. Everything sounds rich. It would be nice if the power was on the front though. I've got things tucked away nicely in a near cord-free appearance. I've gotta do some squeezin' to get the thing turned on and off. lol. First world problem... btw UA support is top notch !

Great investment ever!!
This is a valuable piece of DSP chip ever invest.
I'm too scare that i just can't work without UAD chip.
Thanks UAD

Went laptop, no looking back
Until about 6 months ago I was using a MacPro 8-core system with PCIe UAD2 cards. I wanted to take my whole rig mobile so I took the plunge and bought a 4-core MacBook Pro. With the addition of the Octo Satellite I don't miss the MacPro in the least. This piece of gear make using a laptop for pro-level audio work possible.
