gutter,
Pultec is far from harsh, i don't like the low end on it but the top is end is smooth & i use it all the time.
I don't have the neve bundle either but from what i've read people like the 1081 & 1073 on kick drums & bass so i guess they would be good for trance.
I always end up using the 1176 & Pultec in my trance projects. Other than that the LA2a & Plate 140 are my go-to plugins for my commercial mixing projects.

I'm using the neve and pultec eqs a lot and I especially like that you can PUSH high end and it still sounds great!
Definitly recommended! Nice, round, sound. I love them and only use the SE versions so far.

thanx for the replies ,, i was a little misunderstood , my mistake , harsh was going to the neve plugins ,, i use the pultec too (urs) and starting to love it for percussion eq too a lot
i like what subcons. said about pushing things and still sound great , i think the same goes for low end too .. anyway thats why we pay so much money after all , isnt it so 
did anyone found any isolated small bank for that heist we were talking?? we are four persons for it i think so 10000 would be enough for 4 Uad 2 Quads with neves on them  com on

buying a uad 1 card for like 150€ used or getting 40x the processing power ()brand new with PCIe) for 1300€, i know which one id get.

It isn't 40x the processing power. More like 10x (for the UAD-2 Quad). Universal Audio did it a again: To little power too late.

What do you base that on?
Have you seen any benchmarks on it? And i agree with you that 40x the processing power sounds alitte off the hook, more like somehting that would come out of the marketing division at UA =)
Edit: Do you think they refer to the improved load-balancing between the sharcs and somehow can reach close to 100% load on them, by doing this they can claim a 40X more processing power?

it's official that the quad has 10! Times the power of the UAD1 (average)
40x is for having FOUR quad-cards.

4 Quads is 6000$!
The Octo Core Intels should come out at the end of the year. A dual-Octo Core PC with 16 cores will have MUCH more power than 4 UAD-2 Quads can offer and there is much more choice of plugins. (Remember, you can get UAD-1 cards cheap now from Ebay so you can still have the UAD plugins...)
Or for that money you can get a Duende a TC PowerCore and an SSL Mixpander and a powerful PC.
So the power of the new UAD-2 cards is all relative. Like I said, it could well be too little too late.

I agree. Too little power for too much money.
Still for me, UAD plugs are my favorites. I'll end up with buying one as soon as I reach the limits too often.

I don't know about this. First off its not about the power its about the the plugins. Not all of them are exceptional but many are.
The uad-1 was a limitation because no matter what computer power you had you still had to have more cards to make it worth. Now that problem is gone so I don't think you can compare. especially when you know that having 10 cards on your desktop is not possible
Really who needs the octo... so far I got a quadcore hackintosh and I did not use all its power... so I don't need to wait for the octo to come out. I believe with a quad card you have enough power to use some of your favourite uad plugins.
Now it is true that now a days there are a lot of very good Native plugins and there is no need to go dsp systems to get professional plugins. Still some plugins are best on uad or tdm Maybe this is about to change.

I've found a great deal on a used mackie uad-1 (comes with L2A2 + 1176LN). Yesterday evening I've tried it for two hours but I was not impressed at the first try.
I only have the basic plugin package and L2A2 + 1176LN though. I Like the hi-pass eq on the CS-1 (the most basic plugin!), phasor, the reverb is quite nice. The pultec low end seems really muddy (imho).
I'm not really used to dynamic fx so i guess I'll have to learn how to use these tools properly. |

Anyone compared the plugs on the UAD to the Sonnox and/or the SSL 4000 ones?
I am assuming that I can run the UAD plug ins native as well? If that is the case my quad MacPro would be enough, for trance and techno tunes anyway.

^^ The UAD plugins don't run Native, you have to own a card for it work.

Roger that, but once you have a basic version UAD card installed, you can buy any UAD plugs you want and run them natively as soon as the onboard DSP runs out, yes?

Native means, it runs on your computers cpu..and UAD runs on the DSp Chip of the card so all plugs you buy for UAD wil be processed on the DSP and not on your CPU so no native..
cheers
