Maybe you lot can help me.
I am looking for a tape delay plug in for UB mac
But i'm looking for a native vst etc.
The uad stuff looks cool, but uses those useless external dsp chips.
(which all seem a complete waste of time as their processing power relative to the laptop itself is becoming miniscule)
Any suggestions?
Is the soundtoys stuff still crashing Live?
ok ...... GO!

UAD-1 Roland Space Echo 201

or hardware like the new boss tape delay pedal modelled on the above.

ProTools HD runs on DSP chips too and that is the backbone of the recording industry. DSP chips are fine.

Aha - well maybe you could clear something up for me
I was looking at the UAD xpress card thing and was thinking of getting one
But when I looked into it , it seemed like you couldnt run many plugins at once.
IE I read that one of the Neve emulations took up about 80% of the entire capacity - is this the way it works?

I was a fan of dubstation, and I still have it, but to be honest, I pretty much only do tape style delays now using any old delay on a send, feeding back on itself in combination with compression/limiting/saturation. If you even just put live's simple delay on send and put a limiter after it and send it to itself, that sounds as good as anything.
