Welcome to the General Discussion forum for UAD users! Please note that this forum is user-run, although we're thrilled to have so much contribution from Drew, Will, and other UA folks! Feel free to discuss both UAD and non-UAD related subjects! 1) Please do not post technical issues here. Please use our UAD Support Forums instead. 2) Please do not post complaints here. Use the Unrest Forum instead. They have no place in the the General Discussion forum. Threads posted in the wrong forum will be moved, so if you don't see your thread here anymore, please look in the correct forum. Lastly, please be respectful.
UA beaten to the punch? Powercore PCI-e announcement
- Thread starter guitarz
- Start date
Does Universal Audio actually still trade/exsist? I/we/everybody were under the impression that UA were going to make an announcement at Frankfurt Musicmesse - I've just done a search of exibitors and of press releases and no counts of UA/uviversal audio/UAD or whatsoever returned!
Is anyone home UAD? - or have you gone?!?!?

Not PCIe, but this thing looks pretty cool too.

for some unknown reason the Musikmesse is split up into two separate events which happen at the same time and place (and only require one common ticket): "Musikmesse" and "Pro Light And Sound". Halls 8 and 9 belong to the latter category and will thus not appear as "Musik-Messe-Halls".mikeyb said:
I missed the UA booth exactly because i didn't bother to go to the Pro Light And Sound halls, as these focus on P.A.. But the AMS-NEVE distribution guys at SDI/SAE said the 1073 plug should be available sometime around 6 weeks from now.
This may have bearing:
“In the near term, we believe there is a strong growth market in DSP cards,” says Mike Barnes, director of marketing for Universal Audio, noting that current CPUs are still unable to handle large sessions at high sample rates and small buffer sizes. He goes on to say that Universal Audio has found the emerging practice of running soft synths on the host and effects and mix processing on DSP cards to be a practical and reliable way of working around the problems of trying to run every session in real time — even on the latest generation of 64-bit computers.\"
“For us, the single most important trends in 2006 will be the proliferation of PCIe, the introduction of Mactel machines and the arrival of Windows Vista,” Barnes says, noting that the compatibility aspect of these, alone, will keep Universal Audio and the majority of audio developers scrambling to keep up. “Taking advantage of multicore or making apps true 64-bit is of lower priority and, in some cases, under debate as of questionable relevance for audio applications, because it all depends on the OS implementation to really understand if there are actual performance gains to be made that the user can tangibly feel.”
