UAD 2 Satellite QUAD Core Thunderbolt 3 DSP Interface MAC or PC

Does EXACTLY what its meant to do! I have a UAD Apollo Solo audio interface with an 8GB Mac mini M1. Before this addition to my setup, I was only able to run a small amount of UAD plugins in a session before exhausting my memory. I was extremely disappointed due to all of the money I'd shelled out between the audio interface, additional plugins, and thunderbolt 3 cable (that wasn't originally included); so giving up wasn't an option for me. I stumbled across this on their website and was very reluctant to purchase. But after a few days passed by, I decided to buy it. LIFE CHANGING!!!!! If you buy an Apollo Solo / Twin from Universal Audio, please do yourself a favor and add this to your cart as well. It will save you!

Bam! Now I got power to run some UAD plugins.

Has allowed for full use of plugins within a session on my laptop without any hiccups, even without the Apollo interface.

My husband love this

Perfect addition to my apolo twin duo. Adds crucial dsp needed for mixing my tracks.

UA products are just bang for your buck. The plugins are Def amazing and the cpu of my Mac stays mostly unused, runs great, sounds great

I bought this to support the use of plugins to chain to my Apollo Twin X Quad. I have had nothing but popup bugs with my UAD plugins within Ableton Live. First I had some popups with something like -16 errors, UAD had some patch which fixed something, then I had bugs due to some Mac OS security system changes, I had to revert to some older UAD version, and now I've been having random -38 popup errors and I went back and forth with UAD for an eternity and now they want to charge me for shipping to send it to them so they can send a replacement. Meanwhile I have been replacing my UAD plugins with Waves plugins. You just have to have a powerful computer and you can't trust UAD's DSP power that they keep selling and bullcrapping about. What a crap company.

This is my third unit because I like the plug-ins but not keen on having to buy their interface over and over. Edit: They now have plug ins subscriptions that don’t need their hardware. They run natively. You now have options! The unit is serving me well as I use many plug ins and have a nice collection.

The UAD 2 satellite Thunderbolt quad Tripled my DSP! I have a dual core Apollo twin x as my interface. I love it but after 8 months of learning and recording, I determined I needed to add this satellite And increase the limits of where my recordings can go! Installation seemed to be easier than it was for the interval too. A handful of new Plug-ins that were on my list were included with the purchase.

Si lo necesitas solo para mezclar, funciona, pero si quieres grabar a través de los plugins olvídalo.

Such nice build quality. I really like how I can control my Arrow with a switch now. I used to have to unplug my arrow every time, this solves that. Monster DSP in small gorgeous package. Recommend it

Nothing to dislike
