UAD is now supported by Softube Console 1. Wondering how seamless and fun to use it will be!
Not sure this is necessarily so. In the list you can see from the video, all the UAD plugs are named as "UAD Harrison 32C," for example. The Abbey Road plugs named don't have the "UAD" in front of them."In total, over 60 plug-ins are now pre-mapped and ready to use with console 1, including top-tier brands such as Chandler Limited, Fairchild, Teletronix, Tube-Tech and Abbey Road Studios"
Looks like Abbey Road plugins are releasing on UAD soon.
I see only the UAD 610-B. They must have decided to exclude the other UAD pre-amps to avoid competition with their own channel strips.
It is a damn fine plugin, that is for sure. Love the Drive function.Well if it's saying anything British Class A is the best virtual Neve channel IMO.
The UAD update is compatible with both mk1 and mk2 hardware.Mark, could you please kindly edit the subject to something like Softube Console 1 Mark II compatible with UAD.
Here is the info.
Console 1 Mk II: UAD-2 Integration and More Affordable Price
So ... were money no object, any reason to prefer one over the other?The UAD update is compatible with both mk1 and mk2 hardware.
I just had a scan over the image of the mk2 to compare to the mk1. The number of buttons/knobs is exactly the same, all in the same position, too. Four or five buttons have either been renamed or had a secondary function written underneath.So ... were money no object, any reason to prefer one over the other?
One is made in Sweden, the other is made in Asia and has prettier lights.So ... were money no object, any reason to prefer one over the other?
Really?You won't see the regular plugin GUI, you'll see the Consoles overlay (if you choose to see it).
For me personally I would actually find the Console GUI easier to use than some of the UA plugs with no parameter numbering, metering or difficult (too dam small!) labeling. So no issue there.. and with Console 1 you still get that 'let me mix with my ears, rather than eyes' experience, because your turning knobs. There's also the benefit with the GUI of saving on loading up several plugin slots, to get input control, a gate, a transient shaper, eq, comp, saturation and out put control.Really?
That's a big bummer. Once again, that's a mental-mapping problem that isn't a solution... but just adding another layer of interface between a tactile function and an action. No different than mapping a behringer controller to the UAD plugins. It's hard to be excited about that.
