#Uad plugins without card upgrade

Plus it adds latency.Д«ut u can judge yourself if you google comparison with specific plugins and the way they sound.Дownload a demo for similar eq and compressor etc. You need several dsp chips to load the plugins and people complain about not being able to load as many as they want. The Onboard effects dsp is an old technology but rebranded to be used on incoming audio so u can track/record with plugins.Д«ut most computers will let u mix w tons of native plugins.ДЄnd uad is famous for underpowered dsp. But they wonвЂ™t be either better or worse than waves or pluginalliance plugins.

So I could own an OCTO and every plugin for ВЈ1700.

#Uad plugins without card upgrade

I now own something like 60 of the 100 plugins, and so UAD quoted me ВЈ900 to upgrade to owning every plugin. I waited a while and managed to get an OCTO with ~40 UAD plugins for ВЈ800. I wanted some more power so I bought a used OCTO on ebay. Buying just a few would save money on plugins you inevitably will never use.ДЇor reference I bought an Arrow new. So I doubt you need ALL of the UAD plugins. In the long run you don't want to be paying more than 50-60 USD per plugin. If you check out the UAD forums, they experienced guys there give a guide price of 30 usd per UAD plugin, but it requires being clever with sales. 7k would buy you a new Mac Pro for example. Only thing is, in 2020 computing power is getting so fast and affordable the bang for your buck in terms of cumpute power from UAD is really bad value. Running plugins on the hardware takes the load off of your computer which can be a great help. unbeatable if you're recording with a mic lots.Дў) The DSP hardware acceleration. Do some reasearch on UAD Unison Preamps/plugins. If you're running a studio needing to record lots of mics like drums and multiple live musicians then this is great.

What hardware are you getting for the 7k?ДЎ) the software hardware integration for recording. The UAD stuff IS great - but 7k is a lot.
