I dont understand UAD anymore.

Is there quantity or qualty in the game?
So every 3-4 months they have new plug ins..... that makes me sceptic a lot.

OK THE EMT 250 is fantastic well done!

They should take care first that thier classics 1176 / LA2A / LA3A as well as faichild can compete with the native qualty from Softube and Waves etc. before they go on to medell something else. I am really pissed that the native plugs of the above named types sound better as my DSP version which was a ****ing expensive DSP CARD....

The Question is when is UAD gping to start to modell not only the relase and attack beahvoir but also the sound shaping and saturation caracteristics of the gear?
It is there yes but in very low doses and when I think of the inner life of a fairchild I belive when it is working hard you have to hear something realy going on.

If they really want to stand out form native plug ins they should hurry up otherwise I will sell my UAD Quad Card.

It is simple and easy just install the demo of the Waves fairchild and run a dynamik vocal sampel thourgh it the compressor is not working hard and you can hear nice saturation going on... I dont want that it sounds exact like the real deal how could that be analouge is still a bit up front but something of the magic off all the tubes and transformers which are in the original unit must be in the sonics included...and Waves did this vey very well IMO.....

Since the newer native Versions I am disapointed for the hard earned money I spent to UAD for every single plug in plus the costs of the DSP Cards.
I bought two expensive UAD one Cards 3 years later one expensive UAD 2 Qaud Card... so they made money with every user like me.... now is the day where they can proof taht it was worth the cash....
