![]() Both include the Analog Classics Plus bundle with 13 plug-ins, although OCTO owners get additional plug-ins during product registration. ![]() UAD-2 Satellite Thunderbolt starts at USD 800 for the QUAD version and USD 1200 for the OCTO verson. However, I have my reservations whether this is worth the asking price. It frees up CPU for lower buffer sizes and more virtual instruments, very appreciated in a busy session. Some argue DSP boxes have become expensive dongles following the exponential increases in CPU processing power and algorithm refinements, but there’s still merit in offloading a bunch of resource-hungry plug-ins to your interface and/or accelerator. UAD gets a lot of flack for selling “outdated technology”, but seeing that all its plug-ins are coded specifically for these chips, migrating the whole library onto newer, faster DSPs would be a major hassle for the company and users deep into its ecosystem. The accelerator is sold in QUAD and OCTO configurations with four and eight SHARC processors, respectively. UAD-2 Satellite USB DSP promo image from UA Outdated?
