Well, since i'm getting adsl soon, a pci slot will become available and i was thinking of getting one of those UAD-1 project card. Is it any good ? I use mainly what comes bundled with my VST-5 in terms of reverb and dynamics. will the UAD-1 fare that much better ? I assume that it will free some of my cpu ressources, but will it do so in a significant manner or will this be marginal ? Also, i'm interested in the card because of the Nigel, wich i could use for my guitar endeavors, will this fare good against say, Amplitube 1.1.1?

thanks for any pointers

I think... (!!!)

this depends on the host as well. As far as I know the clip indicator in most plugins indicate the possibility of the clipping, that could happen in a 24 bit (??) environment.

In ableton I have a 32 bit floating point audio path (just like in SX) and that can handle these excess levels... I guess in the RTAS version of the plug the clipping led makes sense, and also in logic.

Well, after fucking around my settings and back again, i've managed to change something, because it now works very nice. I just can't remember what it is that i've changed

so, no processing pci card for me. I think i'll go for another delta and get myself some more inputs.

ASIO Buffer size maybe? Too small buffer can increase load on the CPU, although it shouldn't be that significant ...

y'know, when you add it all up and then look at protools ICON budle deals it starts to look quite good value if you consider the commercial advantages in being able to ffer PT HD.. sure, even if you have the premises all nice and fixed up you still gotta add a decent mic's locker, 5:1 monitoring system and any extras like 40" plasma or LCD screen for video, a new g5 and screens etc, and even then prolly a few choice bits of outboard and eq for add ons would be required, but an HD3 system with 3 x hd 192 racks and command24 with the extra 16 fader banks and all the freebies thrown in is 30k (ex VAT), which seems like alot, but in a commercial setting over a long term lease or loan plan doesnt seem so bad, and i spose you dont have to have 3 X HD192 racks either really, but at least with 192 capability it'll stay relevent for a few years, i cant see clients wanting to record even at 96k tbh.

choices eh... i was looking at AWS900 today, 50k a pop!, nice!

works as a controller tho too, lol
