Moving on from the speculation parade....

As I've never used UAD plugins before, I'm curious as to how many plugin instances you can run on the Apollo during tracking. I know that the bandwidth of your computer connection and sampling rate/DAW choice affect the plugin count during mixing for obvious reasons. However, since all the processing takes place entirely within the Apollo during tracking, how does this improve the number of plugin instances you can get?

For example, I've been told that with the standalone pci-e cards, 96k will cut your plugin instances in half compared to 44.1k. I know that most if not all of the UAD plugins are supposed to be internally upsampled anyway so, for tracking purposes, does the fact that I record at 96k still mean that my plugin count would be cut in half even though all of the processing would be going on entirely within the Apollo instead of having to travel out of the DAW, into and out of a UAD card and back into the DAW as it does for people that have the UAD pci-e cards?
