You can save thousands just by spending a few months scanning eBay, or at least playing sales and vouchers correctly. I'd highly recommend picking up these plug-ins in much more informed ways, including second hand. At the very least I'd recommend going with using what you have been until the plug-ins go on sale, or you can pick them up from eBay. There are many other plugins that will do the job arguably just as well (things are subjective here) that are far less expensive, so worth checking. the reason being is they are available second hand and on frequent sale, below is a link with a lot of information about UAD sales and vouchers and how you can use them to save money. I would whole heartedly absolutely 100% not recommend spending anywhere near $7000 on them unless it's completely expendable money. It's about what you respond to, what you use day-in and day-out and how you get to express yourself creatively.
#UAD PLUGINS SOFTWARE#
There's a vibe still missing from the software stuff, how much might be negligible to you. In our studio we fired up the Drawmer 1970 and that becomes a favourite for a while, just actual hardware chaos beyond the software emulations and well, that has started seeing way more use than the UAD stuff for that purpose. The hardware interfaces are great (as are others.), and one thing that's very cool is the unison technology which emulates impedance, and when combined with some of the pre-amps, does sound very cool.
#UAD PLUGINS PSP#
I had my first round of UAD plug-ins via a PCI card about 10 years ago, and absolutely loved them because they allowed me to dial in a sound I liked easily, but then so have the Slate plugs and I'm excited by the new PSP InfiniStrip. What really shines out to me are things like the Ocean Way, Capitol Chambers plugs and the Amp emulations (it's for them I jumped back on the bandwagon last year). The UAD plugins are freakin' amazing, as are many others.
Sure, there are other interfaces and routes/techniques to deal with the above example but to have to stop a session, wait for a bounce/freeze so the latency can get down so you can use reverb from the DAW is such a creativity killer that I never want to go back to.Īs it is now I record/monitor through UAD-plugins but mix with mostly Softube (thanks to Console 1!). So in short, if you do any kind of recording you will eventually come to a point where UAD would be a benefit. The other thing is the Unison technology, the modeled preamps are truly great, my wife refuses to sing into anything else than the Neve 1073. The above example is what sets it apart in my workflow, great monitoring while tracking REGARDLESS of how far the project is and what induced latency there is from what plugin chain you may have in the session. With UAD you simply add a reverb and compression in the monitoring chain ≈ 2 ms latency (regardless of the DAW latency) and hit record. The piece is quite dynamic and the singer is following along and there is clearly need for some compression so that he/she can hear himself/herself in every part of the track. Maybe they were overpriced, IDK, but just because it has a brand name doesn't make it bad.įrom my workflow perspective, where UAD really shines is this: imagine you have a dense orchestration, latency is around 1024 samples. I have a Steinway grand, a nice Fender guitar with a tube amp, and a Selmer saxophone too. I kind of grew up with the Lexicon 480L sound so maybe that's why? I use the Lexicon on the UAD card and it sounds awesome every time. For example, I can't stand a lot of reverbs people use - some quite well-known - and am mystified that they can tolerate listening to them.
I don't agree that effects all sound the same. Besides, when I change OS or hardware, they don't sting me for unnecessary upgrades or paid "maintenance" or something. They can afford whatever they want, and UAD is what they chose.
Plenty of Famous People use them too and some of those people have pretty good ears. I love the UAD sound and I always include some live elements, even if it's just me playing. Why is everybody (except José) trying to talk her out of this?Īdmittedly, if you're using only samples or pure electronic sounds, maybe the plugins matter less? IDK.
