A few more days left on the UAD sale

I bought the Pultec Pro EQ tonight with my $50 voucher and the sale discount.  $20 out of pocket for that one.  I used the demo on a recent project and I was afraid that if I had to do another mix, I'd have shot myself in the foot.

I got three of the cheapies in my cart for Friday.  They are pretty much 50% off - Fairchild Compressor, LA-3A compressor and the Cooper Time cube.  I like the sound of the demos and they're pretty much what I do when it comes to tools.

I've finally heard UAD plug-ins in action over at a friend's studio before we moved here. All I can say is I need one!!!

Unfortunately for me, the most affordable solution they had for the laptop has been discontinued and I have lots of things on my list before I even get to powered plug-ins considering the asking price even for the most modest UAD set up. So I'll stick w/ Waves for now.

Glad to hear you're enjoying yours.

I've got most of the low hanging stuff. But I will tell you, the Little Labs variable phase tool (can't remember the exact name) is one of the better "cheap" UAD plugs I've ever bought. It's a monster on stereo acoustic guitar tracks. Big, fat and wide with my miking technique.

BTW, you WILL be purchasing more cards. :) I've got a Quad and a Solo and really wish I had a second Quad. I typically run the Studer on every track (first insert).

The only thing I can do with the motherboard I have is to replace the Solo with a Duo or a Quad.  I only had one spare PCI-E slot left.

Dave - Just FYI, the UAD-2 cards work just fine in a regular, long PCIe X 16 slot if you might have one of those.

Thanks, I'll check that out.  I'm trying to recall what I have in the machine that's taking up slots.  I think I might have used a slot for a PCI-E video card. 

Hey Mod Bod,                      You might find this new UA Artist series video enlightening. Producer/Engineer extraordinaire Joe Chiccarelli
demonstrates three of my favorite UAD plug-ins (Cooper Time Cube, Dimension D & EMT 140) to bring out a vocal performance. 
He uses one of his current hit songs to explain how he got the vocal to shine using UAD plug-ins.  All three of the plug-ins brought life to the vocal track, but in a different way. Even after all these years the Plate 140 is still my favorite reverb. In the right hands there is really nothing else quite like it and works great on most anything (vocals, guitars, drums, etc..).

Now I want the EMT 140.  That sounds great.

Demos are a dangerous thing.  All I'm sayin'.

This is a great tip, hope we can all get something excellent for music.
