I traded in 3 UAD-1 cards towards the quad flexi sattelite. First off, what an awesome trade-in offer. It has breathed new life into my use of UAD plugins.July 10, 2012 Music Background: Producer, engineer, Audio-Post Engineer I bought it so.

I was a little worried about ease of install, but it took me all of about 5 minutes to install and be up and running. Not a single problem so far. I finished my first mix on it I'm record time. And my dialog sunds so much better. I purchased the Lexicon 224, Littlelabs VOG and the precision de-Esser with the coupon. Between using those plugins and beign able to dump the waves stuff, my dialog is much warmer, more air thanks to the latex pro, and ver smooth. Best investment I ever made. close [-] My new go-to...

I was skeptical when I read all the hype surrounding UA's QUAD Satellite and the plug-ins, especially because I have an analog background. Within a month of having this piece I have completely changed... read more [+] my tune; the plug-ins sound amazing, the selection is great and the ability to run more plug-ins without taxing my CPU is phenomenal. Plus, for the price of one 1176 I can have as many configurations as I can imagine. If you are concerned about budget and space I would highly recommend this piece of gear. close [-]

by Julian from Philadelphia, PA
I absolutely love the UAD plugs. And having them in a FW format that I can use with my MacBook Pro makes this a slam dunk! Favorite plug in so far -- the EMT 140 plate.
April 7, 2011 Music Background: Engineer/Producer Does what it says it will
by Mark Sims from Indianpolis Area
I would have given it 5 stars except that I have the original MAC PRO and I had some difficulty getting it talk to firewire to it at first. Their service was great though, and helped fix the problem ... read more [+]-- within a couple days I was up and running.September 26, 2011 Music Background: Pro Musician, Project Sudio, Mobile Recording I grew up in the 60's and 70's as a musician and always loved recording. I was finding it difficult to get the sounds I wanted and I'd heard great things about these as PCIe devices. So being as I also have a MACBOOK PRO I thought the satellite version fit my needs better. So far I'm not disappointed at all. The Neve eq plugins warm things up beautifully. They give guitar a wonderfully silky high end without that digital harshness. The Studer tape emulation plugin takes it take to that extra notch and can also be used for effects. I also like the Roland effects plugins. I have so many RTAS plugs that I should NOT have bought now -- this takes care of 80-90% of my needs. And, no CPU load! close [-] UAD 2 Sattelite Quad
