No need to download UA connect for now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I’ve never seen a mix knob on the hardware, I didn’t think to look. Not something I need often and plenty of work arounds if I do. I was really concerned about the performance and sound comparison. If that knob is all that’s different? I’m good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or the other way around. I guess that’s the production world though. Gotta catch em all You need to release a double album. Disc 1 for gray and disc 2 for silver.

It is the silver model without a mix knob, the high frequency emphasis knob and, I would assume, less presets. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've removed the Mix control and fixed the Emphasis control in a sweet spot. So it's kind of an 'easy' version of the Silver and has a full preset list - slightly different presets from Silver (some but not others, and some unique presets). 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought we need the UA Connect to be able to install their plugins? Please tell me if there is a hidden way to install singles I beg you 😄 (or I can always uninstall Connect afterwards...)

Please tell me if there is a hidden way to install singles I beg you 😄 (or I can always uninstall Connect afterwards...) I believe you're correct. I think what Chris was referring to is that it's already been added to his account so he can download and install when convenient. I may be wrong... I'm not that trusting and grabbed it immediately. Offer is only valid until 10/31/23 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wanted to say that its presence in my iLok account tells me it’s available. BUT I did read at Gearslutz that you may indeed uninstall UA Connect and all will still run fine! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSteven Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 (edited) ^^ Yes, you can uninstall UA Connect and they will still run fine. I did that after I got the 1st synth, but as I started collecting them (UAD plugins) I just left it installed. At some point I may uninstall it again, depends on how often they update their plugins.

Confirming, that's what I do anyway and yes it works. Plus the change of license type to computer based (from cloud based only) is very welcome too. Shame that the other two plugins I have are cloud based only, makes them risky when using in projects that take long time to work on. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
