He loves the built in mic pre's and numerous AES/EBU I/O options. As with most UAD plug-ins, this plug-in has been modeled to be incredibly precise the sound it produces is very close to the sound of the best cassettes. The chap in the short ad there has 5 of these, why I'll never know, but many famous Cats love the Scope platform and help drive it's development.Įven OJ Simpson turned down 2 days with his family to be at the last trade show to see the new XITE-1. Users can choose and control between source, repro, sync head, four different speed bands (3.75, 7.5, 15, and 30 ips), NAB, CCIR or AES EQ, and Ampex 456 control on the plug-in.

But having these high quality plugs in realtime on my samples is heavenly. Personally I just use an XITE-1 live and leave my Analog synths at home. I love the old UAD, PoCo & ProTools stuff, but realtime w/ sequencer integration is a must for most folks. So on a large mix where transparency is required, those Dogs just won't hunt. If you want to purchase and use new UAD plug-ins, or if you want to use plug-ins already in your account with your UAD hardware, you will need to register the hardware to your account. If you are into mastering quality these expensive plugs have their place.įor a basic 8-16 stereo track mock up the freebies should be just fine.īut as the chap above said, they add color. UAD hardware must be registered to a UA account in order to use UAD plug-ins and make purchases from the UAD store.

Sonalksiss and Algorhithmix and Lexicon brings crys of pain from most forum dwellers as they are excessive in price.īut they are actually quite noticably better when large mixes are concerned. There is a difference though with quality of plugs. But just in case you want to use what is the only realtime application for a MacPro/PC w/ Sequencer integration, take a look at these guys.
