Mr James Bacon20th Aug 2021

Essential add-on to get the most out of UADs stellar plug-ins. Note that this will NOT add DSP to Console, but it will add many, many instances to your DAW. My Satellite came with plug-ins that I was about to buy anyway, approximately equal to the value of the hardware, so this was a no-brainer.

Mr C Sheen13th Apr 2020

This unit works perfectly well, and would relieve some of the load on my Mac. However, the only reason I bought it was because one cannot use UA plug-ins without it. My Mac is powerful enough not to require assistance, but the plug-ins are good, so I had to shell out for it.
