I love UAD plug-ins but my faves use quite a bit of DSP. Now, the Octo together with my Twin X provide me with plenty of plug-in power. The price is a bargain, in my opinion, as well. Highly recommended.
I just upgraded from my old octo and its been nice to have the extra power. Im getting about 30% more from what I can telll.
I'm new to the Universal Audio world. I bought a Twin first and then this UAD 2 Satellite OCTO. First off I love how easy the setup was on my iMac. My computer recognized it instantly and set up was a breeze. Performance is great and I couldn't be happier.
Love the plug-in overhead!
Live it! Instantly solved my cpu issues.
The only thing is that my I don’t have many plug-ins yet. Soon I hope to buy some essentials
This unit has tons of power and I can run all of my favorite plugins without completely running out of DSP. It's a nice step up from the Quad I had originally.
Fantastic addition to the toolbox. Some of the best plug-ins I have.
Love it. Is what it is. Does what it says on the tin. Gives me more DSP. A lot more. Thanks VK.
It allow me to work faster by performing realtime processing.
