Nice! Did the same - went for SCS and Capitol, 2 for 99 is an extremely fair price.

slowly slowly! Being strategic - as always.

@@massivebeatzz Definitely strategic. They're a smart company.

yea, no latency for recording in UAD, which is great, but then it flips during mixing.

Thank you for this correction and catching this! I realized this error shortly after posting this. Going to try to amend this.

Thanks for chiming in! Valid points.

My pleasure!

Ok, you don't need to download 650 anymore with Native. That was with UAD, where all 4GB got downloaded. Still is - but not Native. I use Softube and Pulsar (Audio and Modular). Certain things UAD is unbeatable, some Softube takes the crown, some Fabfilter, and in obscure cases and innovation the likes of Pulsar, Kiive, Tone Projects. That's why I think cherry-picking is the way to go.

@@massivebeatzz Well, I got slammed a few weeks ago with 650. And it was 16 gigs not 4. I emailed support and they said to use the downloader/installer. However, It didn’t get rid of everything. I’m still going through my computer… when I have time. It was ridiculous. How could a company do such a stupid stunt? The only other experience I had like that was with IK. Also them. Never again. And regarding my point about being online… I sometimes work with clients up in the seclusion of mountains. How am I supposed to activate my plug-ins with no Internet connection? WHY… Does any company do such a stupid thing? Sonnox is the other culprit. I will never buy from them again. Some companies think of the entire experience and manage it well. Others seem fragmented between the actual product and the experience. Sound City By UAD is a phenomenal product. And a game changer for many people I would imagine. The Pultecs are exceptional as well. But… Pulsar Massive and Mu both Manley outdo UAD. (See Dan Worrall’s review of Massive). Arturia’s Lexicon is not only accurate but warmer and has tons of modern features UAD doesn’t. Lindell’s API (although a different model) is just as spanky. Softube’s Chandler is incredible. Not to mention products they make that UAD doesn’t such as their outstanding WEISS line. Anyway… My point being is that UAD isn’t the only kid on the block. And don’t get me started about LUNA. So much promise with that DAW, and yet they keep dragging their feet and changing their minds about everything. I don’t know who’s in charge over there, but they need stronger leadership and a bolder vision to restructure it once and for all. I just don’t trust UAD. Way too flaky for me.

I come from Softube and Soundtoys, I get way more pleasure with UAD plugins. I use only UAD and Goodhertz now and sold everything else. Nothing’s better than something else, just 2 musicians-2 visions ;)

@houdinididiit I completely agree with you. They've got a few good ones, but the rest are just standard overhyped nonsense, which they claim is better than anything else, but if people actually took time to truly analyse their plugins with A/B testing and EQ analysers, you'd find that it's no different. Also, I'd like to add their Distressor is crap and nothing like the real thing (Xtressor wins in that department).

You may want to contact customer service - that is not how they advertise it. If you own a plugin in UAD2, you own both versions (including UADx).

I feel you brother 👍

it's a serious question. Tons of people , including me, left UAD after being a fan for many years. Prices now have dropped and Native is serious - hence the question - don't buy them still, or is it time to come back? I decided the latter, for a few pugins.

@@massivebeatzz People will cuck for them ignore those people preach make more people aware how terrible this company is.
