UAD plugin questions
I'm thinking of getting the Universal Audio UAD-1 plugin system for my G5 dual 2.0.
I've read the forum on various issues relating to latency and compatibility, etc. Thanks everyone for that.
My question now is:
Is the UAD-1 the best for Logic Pro 7 users?
By best, I mean, in terms of sound quality, least latency, reliability, and cost.
If anyone can heartily recommend the UAD-1 and why, I'd love to hear all about it.
If anyone has had success with the other competitors; TC Electronics, Waves, Focusrite, etc., I'd love to hear all about those, too.
And, I noticed someone said that Sound Designer is just as good as Dreamverb. Does anyone know how to compare the various plugins from UA to Logic's built ins? In other words, is the $1200 really worth it?
I do mostly electric guitar (thd bivalve tube amp - tone tubby hempcone speaker) and electronika chill ambient.
And, finally, how do you go about figuring out which package to get? and which plugins to add? Which is the most economical? From the rather confusing ad copy I've seen, it appears the $1200 "Ultra" is the best deal.
Thanks for your ideas on all of this.
Peace
