    Think twice before comitting...

    UA told me the Quad is not a current product anymore and wont help with any support even though it's still mentioned on their UAD page on their site. (this was 4 months ago.)Beware if you think of buying a Quad system. Otherwise a great environment and good plugins, but with everything now going native and sold cheap I wonder how long this will last... Already spent way to much money on UA and by the looks of it they are abandoning their loyal customers. Not a happy camper here.

    Second - UAD-2 DSP Quad Accelerator Card Added

    Was happy with Apollo Twin USB and then I bought the DSP QUAD Card.

    OK that was good but then I found a second Quad DSP card that was used and

    it works very well.

    Now I can build the mixes I have wanted to do with-out resource concerns.

    Happy recording!

    PCIe cards still have a use,

    This is about the third UAD 2 Quad card I just bought. Some people don't think the cards have any value anymore, due to UAD going Native, but for people who don't own a computer strong enough to process these plugs, that's just not true. Im running a 2012

    12 core Mac Pro with Pro Tools 2019.6 ( by the way, theres an app that disables Hyper Threading and it made a HUGE difference in processing errors/crashing for PT on this machine) with 64G Ram and I have no interest in upgrading from here. Im not alone. My system is stable, it handles all the VIs I use AND with 12 processors, I can run a ton of my 61 UAD plugs without issue. Im set!

    Oldie But Goodie

    Bought it secondhand for cheap. It's my second one. I don't know why, but plugins powered by sharc dsp sounds better to my ears. And my i7 cpu is happier than ever.
