UAD PLUGINS WITHOUT CARD PLUS

Thanks for any help in understanding this well enough for me to make an informed decision on this purchase.

UAD PLUGINS WITHOUT CARD PLUS

I guess it still could be cool, but only when I would use the UAD plugins it comes with, plus the freebie ones they give if I buy the unit. SO, my question about this accelerator is - will this somehow also help NON-UAD plugins? If so, it seems like a pretty helpful expansion card for my computer, to take the burden of effects processing off of my CPU. Here is the link to that product, if anyone wants to review it to help answer my question: Before I make any recommendations, I was hoping to get some references on other options in that mid price point category.OK, so I saw a link today, at Sweetwater, for a UAD PCIe card quad-core DSP accelerator, that also comes with some of their plugins, and there is an additional freebie collection of other plugins that come with purchase of the card. Then the price jumps to $800 to $1000 for RME Babyface or UAD. There are the bottom of the range with the Scarlett, Motu and similar up to about $300 with the Audient ID14. I have discovered after making my original post that there is something of a void in price points. I needed many more inputs than my buddy, so my solution wouldn't be his. I was so frustrated with it that when I lost my home and studio to a fire, I replaced what I needed with moderate to high quality gear to limit frustrations with failing gear. The latency and other issues with a 'budge' interface just aren't worth it. After having that for a few years I learned that spending the money on higher quality when it comes to recording is worth it. I've never operated a commercial studio, but I did begin self recording in 2003 with an M-Audio Omni Box and Delta 66, then moved to a Presonus FP10 to have more inputs. Also, I believe you can offload some of your CPU demands to the Apollo while mixing which isn't bad.ДЄt this point, he is to unsure to buy an Apollo, so I'm just wondering what interfaces are out there that are price and quality comparative. The interface he was looking at came bundled with some basics, compressor, reverb, delay, etc, which is enough for him to have some real time effects while tracking vocals without having to eat up CPU while tracking. I'm not going to have him struggling over a sound card when there are many options available. If it were me, I would likely get it to try, but I have experience with managing computer issues which my friend does not. The rep at Sweetwater did say they were getting complaints and returns from customers with Ryzen CPUs for the Apollo USB my friend was intending to buy. I was wondering about the use of PCIE, but I couldn't find any PCIE cards on UAD's site, so I wasn't sure I had the right information. Thank for any recommendations you might have. Do any other manufacturers have an at least two mic input interface that has onboard effects like the UAD? If not, other than RME, what brands are know currently to make good quality interfaces under $1,000? I am aware of RME of course, but I haven't looked at anything new in about 3 years since I made my last purchase. I live too far away to work through any issues, so I'm looking for any ideas on a similar interface that is similar quality.

My friend has USB 3.1 on his motherboard and would be good to go accept for this known problem. AMD Ryzen CPUs and UAD-2 PCIe Compatibility вЂ“ Universal Audio Support Home I did some research and found that UAD is stating that customers are complaining of issues.ДЇrom a Dec of 2020 support post at UAD. He went to order an Apollo today and the sales rep at Sweetwater told him that Apollos don't play well with AMD Ryzen chips.

He gets a bit frustrated with the tech side of recording (latency, compatibility issues, etc.), so I am trying to limit any difficulties. It has been a while since I've looked deep into current interfaces, but after some research I thought a UAD Apollo twin or duo would suit his needs, and I think the ability to have plugins run on the hardware while tracking would limit latency issues. I am helping a 'tech challenged' friend with upgrading his interface from a Scarlett to something better.
