Hello everyone,
-UAD doesn't work with the 8 core machines now (who knows how long it will take to fix this)

Actually, one of my studios was running 4 UAD-1's in a magma chassis with an 8 core G5 with...success?
They did work, just not reliably. The problems seemed to be more in the plug in stacking over the four cards than with the processor. Also, it seemed to be cause by version 5 of UAD's software, and 4 seemed to work better. If we used more power than one card could put out, we would have to inactivate all uad plugs, shut down all but one card, fill it, then turn on the next, etc, etc. We switched to 2 UAD-2's when they came out and all the bad things went away. Since then they have been behaving themselves.
What's $500 anyway. Isn't that shiny silver box worth all your savings? well...not so shiny....kinda dull actually.......hey! why isn't this thing shiny!? Intern, shine this box til i can see myself.
