I already have the UAD Studer A800 and it IS AWESOME!!!.. i only have a quad and a solo though so clearly am running into the wall on larger projects… not a fan of ilok and noticed this morning that it was a few GBP lower than it has been, weak Euro possibly? so for me it made sense to get it…
Ran it for the trial period and no, it’s not as good as the UAD A800 but i’m still finding it VERY handy on things like BV’s or less crucial elements of a mix…
Personally i LOVE the tape sims i have… there’s definitely something inherently ‘familiar’ working with them in both ‘feel’ and the sound of em.
