But here I think a lot of people miss the primary point of the UAD DSP card. I really don't think the card has restricted anything. I think it has freed, still, the dsp resources from the computer so UA has to worry less about the users computer. Not everyone is going to have an 8 core machine. But it's mainly a dongle to protect UA from piracy. Therefore they don't need to go the software police route.
Hey, even on a brand new Mac do you know that PT9 still crashes looking for resources? An 8 Core still has to multi task and will, from time to time, trip over it's feet. |
Also AVX is totally going to rip the crap out of DSPs and may even make them totally obsolete in any application other than dedicated systems.

It's nice to have that load off for more important stuff though, and you get that functionality for the price of the smallest waves bundle WITH the bundle included as well!
