I am seriously considering this as an option. I know UAD-1 does not work with OSX yet but it says on their site that they will adapt AU. However, I do not know if they work with UAD-1 + TiBook. Magma's Site says that they ARE compatible with UAD-1 but no mention of Logic. BTW, samash.com is out of stock for Logic Controller so i have to wait 2 to 4 weeks. Sigh...

Yes, the UAD-1 does work with Logic and does work on the TiBook with a Magma. But, as a soon to be Magma owner myself, I'm going with the TC Powercore from TC Works.......way more expandability and options, and frankly better plugs. Not to say the UAD-1 isn't great if you want that vintage-like processing, but as an overall the Powercore smokes. M-De

I´m not saying you´re wrong (I have both hehehehe) but they are very different and to say which is best is not really possible. Sure the reverbs are better in Powercore but all the eq, compression and so on is better in the UAD1. I researched quite a bit on this one and the overall opinion is in UAD1s favour, that is what it seemed to me anyway. Still this is probably due to the recent price difference (UAD1 being sold for 600$ in USA) but even if they were priced similarly I wouldn´t want to choose one for the other, they are both incredible cards.

I thought people really liked Realverb Pro more than any other plugins available. I have not heard it myself so I can not confirm. Yavuz AKYAZICI Guitar Player http://yavuzmusic.com

It could be that this was before the Classicverb got out. UAD1 owners are waiting for a plugin (399$) called Dreamverb which looks very promising. Actually I have followed the UAD1 for quite a while and I have not heard of anyone who thought that Realverb was that good. Of course we´re not talking softverbs here, I mean compared to standalone verbs, for a softverb it´s outstanding. Henrik Krogh henrikkrogh@...

For a long while everybody at the Nuendo forum compared it to a vintage Lexicon Reverb. The verdict was that the Lexicon sounded better but UAD-1's Realverb Pro was the closest to that lexicon in quality among every other reverb including the Powercore. As i said, I did not hear so i can not compare. Yavuz AKYAZICI Guitar Player http://yavuzmusic.com

Like I said, this was before the Classicverb (only 2 months old) which is also a vintage reverb. This time I´m not so sure I prefer the original. Henrik Krogh henrikkrogh@...

Is it part of UAD-1 package or is it another company? Can you give links? Yavuz AKYAZICI Guitar Player http://yavuzmusic.com

> What is Classicverb? Sorry I thought you knew, it´s a new reverb algorithm for TC Powercore, based on an "unnamed" classic reverb, very good it is. Then again pretty soon the Dreamverb will be out for UAD1 and so they may take the lead for a while. The Dreamverb won´t be free though (399$). Henrik Krogh henrikkrogh@...

Hi, HKC wrote: > Then again pretty soon the Dreamverb will be out for UAD1 and so they maytake the lead > for a while. The Dreamverb won´t be free though (399$). Hmmm.... So, I take it the classic reverb is free then. So, that somewhat justifies the price difference, I guess. If Dreamverb sells around $299.- street price, then they still have the advantage.

Classic verb is a KILLER soft verb that is a free download for TC Powercore. IMHO it is worth the cost of the card by itself. If someone offered you a hardware reverb at this quality for the price of a Powercore you'd sell your car to get it! Finally I have found a software reverb algorithm that doesn't make me puke!
