Uad-1 Or Tc Works, Which one to choose? Options

[damann]

latency is an issue here edward, why not try it before buying.
both cards have a latency equal to your buffer setting per plugin instance, they use a delay compensator to work around this, it's a pain in the a*$e.
you should check out the thread on this site that i started a few months ago.

did somebody mention that there is no latency issues when using the plugs in channel inserts?

hi rageheart,
good point, although this is, of course, a fairly recent situation.
i presume you use logic, i'm not aware of this being the case with any other sequencers.
i feel guilty at the moment though, i think edward has gone off to buy a uad1 without reading the posts concerning latency.
i should mention here that the latest soft update for uad1, v2.3 is currently downloadable from the ua website, it fixes lots of "unpublished" problems.
i should also mention that i've been posting in the mackie/uad1 forum for news of some kind of audiounits future for the card. the silence is deafening!!!

Hi Damann and other macmusic people
Thanks again for all the feedback.
I have not yet bought the UAD-1!

I contacted Mackie asking about the latency problem, but have not yet heard back from them

I read all the macmusic chats concerning this card and am now left wondering...
1...You (Damann) seem to get around the latency problem and enjoy the card, how do you use it?
2...Can DP remember the UAD-1 settings and can they be automated?
Thanks

@damann
yes i use logic, but cubase also offers automatic delay compensation on inserts. i dont know if digital performer has it.

afaik audiounits will be supported by the uad. i think i read it on uaudio.com.

yes i got the newest driver 2.3 and im very hapy about it for it now supports dual processor systems on mac.

Nope, IME, DP has no AUTOMATIC delay compensation, but comes with a predefined session to tune the delay and set it in DP once for all (a simple MIDI click to record back in DP, then see the "latency" and adjust the timing correspondlingly in Audio prefs).
Correct me if i'm wrong, please.

Bye.

I guess the time is screwed up...

No it's not, but you'll have to set this in your forum user's preference panel (according to YOUR location), don't know the name in english, sorry. It's not set automatically at subscription.

Bye.
