Motu Microbook: hard to figure out and never quite made peace with it and Digital Performer. Quality, I guess, but MAC focused and I'm a Windows guy. ...to Tascam US232: much more user friendly and a solid interface ...to Focusrite 2i4: comparable quality to Tascam, but more user friendly and features I wanted. Also, Plugin Collective at the time ...to UAD Apollo: The sound quality is astounding, Unison for recording, great plugins and user community, and now LUNA for Windows. Still new to me, but so far I am in love! ?!!! It's popular (and pricier) for good reason.

I watched a video the other day where Serban Ghenea uses Metric Halo channel strip. If you want a celeb endorsement, it doesn't get much bigger than that. ? I only have a free one myself that I picked up and have never used, so no first hand experience. ?

Same! This dev is a perfect example of how to give away freebies that show off the quality of their plugins.

I sent Izotope an email after RX 11 came out and this showed up in my account. The support person wrote back: ------------------------------------------------------ Now I know I'm not entitled to RX 11 because of this, but I feel like the "old" Izotope would have had a more agreeable response rather than the "you can upgrade here" link. They have the same cruddy product tracking in our Izotope accounts but without the personalized customer care. No thanks.... ?

They are really on top of this Beta release and fixing things!

Now... can you work your magic to go from Assistant to Editor for $29?? ?

Let the dreamers dream.... ?

It sounds like we're in the same proverbial boat. ?

There's a 3 hour tutorial for Scaler 2 on Groove3 called "Music Production Theory & Arrangement Hacks"! --- Another 3 hours for "Scaler Explained" too!

Wow! ? Does Console 1 Mk2 support 3rd party plugins now too?

Definitely a consideration!

Cheaper than buying a new PC!?

They should retitle those emails to "Give us $50". (Unsubscribed)

+1 ! I also really really like this one. I've got a bunch of verbs like the rest of us, and I cycle through them. But I always come back to this one. Valhalla Vintage Verb is in that category too, although this one is a lot less "fiddly" than VVV.

Awesome!!! Thanks Lars!

Is it better to buy Scaler 2 then upgrade, or just wait for v3 which will hopefully have an intro price?

Same as @sd - I bought a $29 plugin and got a $25 code. Then nothing after that. That's how they got me last year too, they kept dishing out the $25 coupons and it seemed rude not to keep buying plugins...

This only takes up 1 Unison slot if you're recording through a UAD interface.

What are "CC" points? I've gotten a "thank you" coupon. I wish they'd keep giving them when you buy with them. But I'm glad they don't.I've given UAD a lot of $$ this year!

? I'm trying to figure out how they managed to use "Subscription" and "Perpetual" in the same marketing blurb... (??) ?

Since I got my Apollo, I've just been plugging in and playing with the Unison setup and figuring out FX chains and routing I want to use. There have been a few times that I wished I had taken the time to open my DAW to record some stuff or start up drum loop or something. No need now. I see this as a excellent extension for recording ideas. Now I can use just UAD to get ideas down and start working things out before I spend the time to open my DAW...

Sounds good on my work pc speakers! I wonder if the LV might get a little more clarity with more of a HP to clean up the lows? (maybe??) That's just the nittiest of picks. It sounds good! ?

On Reverb.com. I posted this before, NOW it's discounted even further. This is B-Stock, Refurbished by UAD and ships from UAD with all plugins and warranties of a NEW interface which is about $900. After watching them for YEARS I finally jumped on a sale in January for $200 more than this - and I still feel like I got a deal, otherwise I'd be buying this rather than posting it. If you've been thinking about getting into the UAD ecosystem, now is a good time and this would be a great way to start. I ADORE my Apollo interface and feel like a such "big boy" now. ? https://reverb.com/item/33185788-universal-audio-apollo-twin-duo-usb-audio-interface-refurbished-new

This is how I'm hoping Luna will work out - for tracking stuff to mix in Studio One. Only on a much smaller scale and with VI drums to map out songs. ?

What are your PC specs these days Lars?
