Je l'utilise sur Pro Tools et Cubase... comment dire... Avant j'étais sur une 68C de chez Presonus,
et là c'est juste énorme !! La mise en place, l'utilisation, la qualité des plug-ins, la précision de l'enregistrement et le son qui prend une chaleur inexistant chez moi.
Bien sur le tout sans latence.
Je ne regrette vraiment pas ^^

Super Matos et Super Magasin ! Je recommande fortement.

J’ai acheté cette carte UAD il y a 15 jours et avec Universal audio on ne se trompe jamais.
C’est le top????

Concernant Stars music ils sont super compétents et réactifs.
Que ce soit pr internet ou par téléphone car j’ai eu besoin de renseignements précis, je suis tombé sur une personne ultra compétente (dédicace à Stéphane??????).

Je peux donc vous dire d’y aller les yeux fermés aussi bien pour UAD que pour Stars music

Rien à redire quand à la qualité de fabrication, c'est du lourd avec UAD.

La qualité des plugins et le fait d'avoir 4 DSPs laissent pas mal de latitude à la créativité.

Un produit que je recommande fortement.

La qualité sonore est assez bluffante : très peu de latence en enregistrement même lorsque le DAW est configuré sur une grande mémoire tampon.

Beaucoup de souplesse à l'enregistrement avec une possibilité d'intégrer par défaut un filtre passe-haut.

Côté plug-ins, c'est de la très bonne émulation, même si l'installation a tendance à charger la librairie de versions démos en plus des versions complètes incluses.

Très content de cet achat !

Énorme !! Le jour et la nuit avec ma scarlett focusrite. La possibilité d'enregistrer sans latence avec une tranche, un compresseur, tout ça tout ça , c'est fou. Pour avoir eu la chance d'enregistré plusieurs fois dans des studio bien Équipés, je retrouve le même type de sensations à l'enregistrement ( chaleur, proximité, puissance .)
Pour les moins : pas grand chose si ce n'est l'unique prise casque, 2 ça aurait été parfait. Je pourrais dire le prix des plugins UA mais à mon sens c'est justifié
