Pratique

J'utilise Reaper et c'est pratique et facile d'intégrer les plugins uad dans mes sessions et de garder l'interface libre pour track'er en même temps.

Recording at 96kHz

No more issues with UA plugins being limited or shut off when mixing at 96KHz using the Octo PCIe card.

Broke After 1 Year

Purchased on 12 April 2020 as of 11 Nov 2021 no longer work. Worked fine yesterday. Turned on the computer today and all LED go red. No change made to computer. No identifiable variable(s) changed from one day ago. All Online help articles followed step by step. Old songs that used UAD plugins must now be abandoned. I feel disappointed and scammed.

Prepare for Lag

If you want to use this card to the full potential, forget about it. Loading up a few plugins will give you 100+ms latency and if you want to use all the processing power on the card and fill up the effects/processing rack your going to get 700+ms latency. The plugins sound good, but the latency ruins everything good about the card.

UAD really needs to come out with a new card that allows for a lot less latency so the new generation will actually use this. Otherwise UAD will die with the boomers. I don't recommend this product. The only reason I give it 2 stars is that this is the only way you get get certain special effects like reverb or chorus or other special processor for a vocal. Only if you are working with a top artist and you absolutely need that exact tone on their vocal you know they are going to demand would you ever need this. But at that point if you are working with that kind of artist, you should use the real hardware and rent a studio that has it so you can get that iconic sound.

But for 99.9% of the time you cant use this, I recommend plugin alliance as they have all the same plugins and they run off your CPU and not these 20 year old sharc ships. You will have fractions of a millisecond per plugin instance with plugin alliance and you get just as good of sound.

You Can't Live without it

PCIe Accelerator is the best solution to have much power as possible. If you use your DAW in studio, at home, you MUST have it

Solid Product

The Duo PCIe card does what it's supposed to.
Physical and software installation is easy and quick, beware though, that some motherboards does not neatly fit this PCIe cards mounting back-piece type, for this a PCIe adapter/extension cable can be used or the card could be mounted slightly at an angle along the card length, note, probably with varying ability to secure the card with the chassis mountings. Overall, I’m very satisfied with the product.

U WANT PLUGIN u NECCESSITY OF THIS

In 2021 I upgraded from UAD-1 to UAD-2

I'm a "late adopter". I really wanted the Fairchild plugin after hearing the demos so I purchased a UAD-2 duo. There are the best plugins available IMO. I own a real LA2A and the plugin version surprised me how good it sounds. The process of buying, authorizing plugins is so smooth, I had one issue with my antivirus zapping an install file and UA tech support was very helpful and fast, resolved in under 24 hours.

Executive power.

I have been using the UAD-2 PCIe SOLO card for 5 years. Since the performance of one processor was insufficient with the addition of plugins, so I decided to buy OCTO, and I must say that it is a huge difference. I am very happy to be able to use all the excellent plugins to the fullest. When installing to the first PCIe port, the system could not recognize the card, but I installed the card to the second PCIe port and everything was fine, everything works great. UAD plugins are my favorites and I like working with them, I use them in every mix of mine.
Thank you Universal Audio

Extremely Upset / Disappointed

I just received my UAD-2 PCIE OCTO. Installed it. Registered it with UAD. Went to go load up some plugins into the insert in the Apollo Twin USB Console and was greeted with the usual message explaining that there is not enough power to run the requested plugins. So I was obviously confused. Why did I just spend 1,200 on a pcie octo that promised to allow me to use more plugin power? I loaded the meter and control panel and it showed 0% usage in the octo and 87% usage in the apollo. I thought maybe I was doing something wrong. So I loaded up Ableton Live 11 and started loading up plugins. I checked back and all of the plugins in ableton were being powered by the octo and everything in the console was being powered by the apollo. This makes no sense to me. Why would you advertise this product the way you've been advertising it? You need to be 100% clear to us that we will not gain any power in the console by using this octo. I'm extremely upset about this. I also spent 1000 more on plugins and I feel like I just wasted 2200 bucks on this being that one of the main reasons I bought it was to increase my console power. So the problem I was dealing with has not been resolved. I spent 2200 and have the same issue I had before, the only cool thing is being able to load more into ableton, but why does it not work with my console? This is a huge flaw. You've been making this for years and years now, the next update better include a feature that allows you to power the apollo console with the pcie octo. Y'all better contact me asap about this.

Great addition to my Pro Tools Rig

Added an Octo to my new Avid Carbon setup, after having just got rid of an old HD3 Accel system. Love the Octo, it has tons of processing power! So far I bought the Ultimate 9 bundle, and wow, the plugs are great. Reminds me of my roots back in the '90s... when all my outboard gear was, well, actually outboard! Integration was seamless, and I am looking forward to adding some of the other available plug-ins (like the AMS RMX16) soon:)
