Universal Audio (AU) Plug-ins

Post by GillyDJ » Wed Feb 22, 2012 2:37 pm

May be a silly question but do you need to buy the UAD-2 Solo, Duo or Quad to use UA plug-ins?

What if you are always on the move and you don't want a big dongle plugged into your Mac?

Is there a way of using them directly from the Mac's HD as software only?

Yes because the plugins work on UAD's DSP processors.
WIN8.1 x64 | Suite 9.5 x64 | RME FF400 | UAD-2 | Maschine 2 | SparkLE | Mopho | Blodeld | Komplete 9 | Ebony A2 | Adam A7 | Launchpad | Waves Diamond V9 | Many VSTs

unfortunately the same goes for auditioning the plugins - you have to have a dedicated UA hardware processor in order to do it.

(not unfortunately, my new uad-2 system is coming in the mail shortly :) )
