If a plug-in sounds mediocre - it could mean less skill on the part of the coders, or it could even be that attempts were made to lower CPU usage.I am glad you found a way to answer to the question.
My guess is that if a plug-in sounds good, it's probably because the designers know their stuff. Not just a specific piece here and there but - for example- the entire Soundtoys line. Nevertheless, I have non-UAD native stuff that sounds just as good. Why are Fords the best cars in the world? How can anyone take such a question seriously? Indeed there is a built-in assumption to the question. If a plug-in sounds mediocre - it could mean less skill on the part of the coders, or it could even be that attempts were made to lower CPU usage. I could see how such meticulous modeling could deliver better results. That is to say, instead of modeling a vintage hardware unit as a "black box" - put this in, out comes that - they model each and every component of the circuit. I know with at least some of their modeling, they do go the extra mile. I think their plug-ins are great and my guess is that they simply work very hard to make them good, and when they sign up another designer, they have high standards.īut I have never assumed that the hardware acceleration aspect of it is anything more than their "dongle". That being said, I really like the UAD stuff. You state your personal opinion as if it were fact.indeed there is a built-in assumption to the question. The only other tech that competes and sometimes beats UAD is Acustica. Beyond that I think it’s their quality of modeling. ThanksI believe all of their plugins upsample to 192kHz. But their own plugins seem to be somehow different. The Chandler stuff they did for UA does sound really fantastic. The thing that most surprised me is the stuff from softube. Is there a technical reason for this? Something happening in the sharc processors? some form of upsampling that the other plugins are not able to do? Most plugins from the other developers have some kind of HIFI thing going on - sorry for the lack of better explanation. The other stuff always has some kind of annoying sheen to all. The UA Verbs do sound really natural and musical. In this case the differences are the most obvious. And I mean not a same plugin native vs the dsp comparison.
The sound stays somehow musical even at extremer settings. The compressors seem to provide a much tighter and firm low end. The UA stuff seems to handle this a lot smoother in most cases. They sound good but somehow at the same time a lot different to what i hear when i do similar things with UA plugins.įor example boosting high frequencies. And I tried the plugins from them the last few days. There are a lot of well reputated other plugin developers. Is there something like a technical explanation why UA Plugins sound that much better than other plugins? Though I think it will be impossible with my question. I do not want to start a plugin company vs plugin company debate.
