Si lo necesitas solo para mezclar, funciona, pero si quieres grabar a través de los plugins olvídalo.

Perfect addition to my apolo twin duo. Adds crucial dsp needed for mixing my tracks.

I'm a huge fan of UAD plugins. I love them. They're my favorite brand to use. They haven't got the Satellite right however since the Thunderbolt 2 version. I have 4 of these out of necessity (it's my profession) because the latest Macs of course require Thunderbolt 3. The boxes crash frequently when changing sessions or activating or deactivating plugins. My hunch is that the majority of UAD RnD is now geared towards the Apollo series or Luna, and these wonderful satellites (which I used to love) have been neglected.They seem a little better on Big Sur, a common problem on Catalina was causing kernel errors (colloquially known as the black screen of death) during a mix. Don't let me put you off UAD, but I would recommend looking into their other hardware choices before parting with your hard earn cash for one of these.I do hope they improve.

The UAD 2 satellite Thunderbolt quad Tripled my DSP! I have a dual core Apollo twin x as my interface. I love it but after 8 months of learning and recording, I determined I needed to add this satellite And increase the limits of where my recordings can go!Installation seemed to be easier than it was for the interval too. A handful of new Plug-ins that were on my list were included with the purchase.

I had been watching the Apollo line for a number of years and finally got the Apollo Duo last year, because it had more processing than Arrow.A year later, after investing hundreds into these plugins, I can only use a 3-6 at a given time. What's the fun if you can't mix a full song with this significant investment?Adding the OCTO Core gives you the freedom to add multiple instances of your fav UAD plugins for a real world mix. Amazing!

I bought this to support the use of plugins to chain to my Apollo Twin X Quad. I have had nothing but popup bugs with my UAD plugins within Ableton Live. First I had some popups with something like -16 errors, UAD had some patch which fixed something, then I had bugs due to some Mac OS security system changes, I had to revert to some older UAD version, and now I've been having random -38 popup errors and I went back and forth with UAD for an eternity and now they want to charge me for shipping to send it to them so they can send a replacement. Meanwhile I have been replacing my UAD plugins with Waves plugins. You just have to have a powerful computer and you can't trust UAD's DSP power that they keep selling and bullcrapping about. What a crap company.

Does EXACTLY what its meant to do! I have a UAD Apollo Solo audio interface with an 8GB Mac mini M1. Before this addition to my setup, I was only able to run a small amount of UAD plugins in a session before exhausting my memory. I was extremely disappointed due to all of the money I'd shelled out between the audio interface, additional plugins, and thunderbolt 3 cable (that wasn't originally included); so giving up wasn't an option for me.I stumbled across this on their website and was very reluctant to purchase. But after a few days passed by, I decided to buy it. LIFE CHANGING!!!!! If you buy an Apollo Solo / Twin from Universal Audio, please do yourself a favor and add this to your cart as well. It will save you!
