X2 and UAD2 problems

Oh man,that is very lame,I mean UA promised[?],or actually said "Summer 2012" for Windows 7 capability,for the much lauded "Apollo Interface",and still No Go,as far as I'm aware.

UAD dsp cards were actually things I read about,and liked what I was reading,only back in 2010,actually"before"I even realised properly,why Roland had stopped making the VS-2480 recorder,meaning the reputation of Universal Audio,was something that caught my attention,on the net,before I even really knew what DAW "software" was![I apologize for such "newbitity",but I only first,touched a QWERTY/used a computer ever,in late 09,at age 45].

Considering the supposed[Iv'e never used them] Quality of the HW emulation,and fairly intense outlay,for arguably unnecessary[?][with cpu's being as potent as they are] non-native processing,If I were you,I'd be livid.

I hope they fix this pronto,earlier even,as they are really dragging with x64.

Good Luck,Regards

Hi Stoutlyric,
Thanks, that's what I've heard from others as well. Sadly 32 bit isn't really an option for me. I have 24GB of RAM in my computer and I'd exceed the 4GB limit of a 32-bit OS with a drum kit and a piano :)

Hopefully UAD will get things fixed sometime soon.

Very Frustrating! I have and used my UAD Quad card for a number of years without issue ,with sonar 8.0 all the way up to X1 in 64bit win 7 pro and sonar 64 bit. It seems UAD have shifted much of their focus to Apple! I find this a betrayal to the loyal PC users that have been supporting and using UAD products for years.I have almost 4 grand invested in their  plug-ins  If you look at  the statistics, contrary to popular belief, there are more PC DAW users then Mac Daw users by a significant amount. Examples of this shift in UAD's support: the Apollo  interface still only for MAC, the new PC driver issues,  thunderbolt ,which is now available on some PC Mbs. it would be a great time for some alternate DSP supported plug-in  manufacturing company to come out and bite them in the ass. I really think UAD have got on the wrong buss this time. excuse the pun. lol.

Hi Dean.   That was a sad story on those 251s!  If I remember correctly, we could have got them for $2500 each, but I could not get a second buyer and the guy later sold them for about $3300 each ):
 
Ok - back to topic.  UAD did sort of allude that the new software for UAD did something to the 64 bit environment in running the 32 bit UAD plugs.  I got the feeling that it was not worth their time figuring it all out when they are releasing the 64 bit version so soon.  So problem an economic decision.   I think Matt from UAD is also a Utah guy - maybe he will chime in.  Best to you!  Deswind

Hey Deswind, nice to run in you again. I've actually tried it with both jbridge and bit bridge. No luck with either. And I certainly hope they're doing more than just hoping 64 bit will solve it. UA knowing its broken and not trying to fix it would be deeply disappointing.

BTW, did you ever pick up that 251 you talked to me about a while back? Been regretting not getting that when I had the chance.

Dean

Seems its broken and they are working on it. (Sonar) With UAD v6.3.1 and v6.3.2, this host may stop responding when available UAD DSP is exceeded. Workaround: Use UAD v6.3.0 unless the UAD-2 OCTO card is installed. We are working to resolve this issue.

I had the same problem went from 6.3.0 to 6.3.1 and then hoped it was fixed so tried 6.3.2 Uninstalled 6.3.2 and download 6.3.0 form UAD website did a rescan in Sonar and back working 100%

I hope it's only a glitch at UAD far no problems with drivers. I have a quad card which cost a lot of money and loads of plugins so I would not be happy should UAD not get this fixed soon. They have promised all plugins would be 64 bit by the end of 2012. They have posted a workaround. Lets wait and see what they do. I find windows 7 64 bit and 32 bit strange. Normally as administrator you have full rights to any system but not so with Windows 7. If you are administrator already why would you have to run any program as administrator? You are either administrator or not as I see it. Sorry having a moan about windows and now god help us all Windows 8 and all the driver issues again.

Hey Deswind,
I don't think there really is a work around. Going back to 6.3.0 makes your plugins functional but does not let you use the new plugs offered in later version.

Dean

The article from UAD on 64bit architecture was INSULTING....these guys are jerks.

(Here)

They need to get out of the software business if this is going to be their attitude to advancing technology.


I can understand writing an article trying to explain the difference, but they really didn't do a good job of that and just made insulting snide remarks through-out.

And people are selling their UAD 1176's to get the Mohog version...arrogance is poison.

I am disinclined to acquiesce supporting them anymore...
