So I got the new UAD-2 laptop card. It's the little dsp doodad that goes into the little slot on the side of my laptop. Pretty easy install, just a lot of upgraeydes that take some time at the beginning.
Ok so the free plugins 1176SE, Pultec EQP-1A, CS-1 Channel and Realverb are actually pretty good. The Pultec especially. But I started a mix project and decided to demo just about all of the plugins I would ever use. 1176LN, LA3, Plate 140, the new EMT250, UAD 4k SSL bus comp emulation, Precision Limiter and Multiband Compressor.
Now, I have some decent outboard gear but up til now my plugin library has been total shit. The best most useful one being the L2007 bus limiter. Getting the UAD plugins was more than a step up - it was like discovering fire. So I have little to compare them to, but for their functionality and great sound quality I give them a simultaneous two thumbs up.
My favorites are definitely the Plate 140, 4k Bus comp and 1176LN.
