Own a UAD2 Quad and 3xUAD1
They work perfect in Live 7.0.10 on Windows XP SP3. Really nice to have so much power!!

UAD sounds better than the liquid mix to my ears. If you want a world of info from UAD users the best place to go is the UAD forum. It is very active.

same here
Sorry if this seems a little obvious, but are you saying that Live takes care of the delay compensation automatically and the UAD plugins work exactly the same way as the inbuilt native plugins?
totally

I had the opportunity recently to compare the plugs, not with other plugs, but with true LA2As and 1176s.
I'm not gonna pretend I'm qualified to tell down to the sample level the difference between the two, but the software plugs sounded awesome and both very similar. Keep in mind many of the hardware units sound different from each other as well, but the behavior of the software and the hardware was uncanny.
My point? Hey if they give even 50% percent of the magic of the real thing, without me spending 5000 dollars on the real thing, then I'm totally gonna use them! Not to mention that I can have twenty of them in project with NO CPU or memory drain? Even with today's powerful DAWS, that's power that you can use for more soft-synths or (gasp) your favorite *native* plugs! YMMV, but for me, UADs are a no brainer.
Good luck!

I would not compare these two products together. Liquid mix is inferior in sound on almost every level to UAD. Beyond my own ears, Gearslutz have worked that out & agreed as well in numerous listening tests. I believe the american term is a joke by comparison.
