Mackie UAD-1
I'm selling my Mackie UAD-1 card. This is the same card as the Universal Audio UAD-1, but the Mackie bundle includes the LA2A and 1176 compressor plugins. This card sounds absolutely fantastic. Best software compressors I've ever worked with. It includes the following effects:
1176LN
1176SE (light version of 1176)'
EX-1 EQ/Compressor
DM-1 Delay Modulator
RS-1 Reflection engine
CS-1 (complete channel strip including EX-1, RS-1, and DM-1)
LA-2A
Nigel (modular amp simulator w/cab sim, compressor/gate, phaser, chorus/flange, trem/echo)
Pultec EQP-1A
RealVerb Pro
These effects run on the DSP card, so they leave your CPU free for other uses. The card works on mac and PC and the plugins work in AU, DX, VST, MAS, and RTAS formats meaning they support virtually every DAW software known to man.
The Mackie bundle is no longer available for sale. The closest package available today is the Project pack, which doesn't include the 1176LN or the LA-2A (the two best plugins in the package). So in order to spec a new card out with these plugins, you'd have to pay $149 for the LA2A and $149 for the 1176, plus $400 for the UAD-1 Project Pack. I'll sell my card for $550.
