    Default Mackie UAD PCI card?

    Anyone have this??

    I'm really close to buying one and I just wondered if it really is what it says. From what I've read it sounds really good.

    Thanks!

    I have one and its the f--kin s--t. Can't imagine it it was nott in my box. Top end compression and eq on par with most high end hardware (in my opinion). Get the optional Fairchild and Chamridge EQ. I use the EQ on 80% of my tracks.

    Depends.. some plugins are very intense on the usage. Cambridge3 EQ is 4% dsp while fairchild is 16%...Nigel is crazy at 33%.. Dream Verb is 19%.. 1176LN is 14% 1176SE is 5%.....Channel Strip is 9%... All other basic ones are 4-5....etc.

    Basically, If you want to run efx on each track without rendering them down you need multiple cards... I always tweak and render and move on...

    (You also have to be careful of going tto 100% usage as you computer might freak out (but not necessarily crash)
