I'll add that AAX DSP plugins can mirror/replace a lot of the UAD plugs, too via Plugin Alliance.
#CAN YOU USE UAD PLUGINS IN CUBASE WITH OUT HARDWARE PRO#
It's true! Once you track JUST using Pro Tools without any Console/workarounds, and near 1ms latency, man, so refreshing! you KNOW that you're now hearing what you've been missing all along." Once you experience this near zero latency, and within Pro Tools without jumping thru different settings/consoles/buffers/etc. If you watched any of the announcement videos, there was one where the guy mentions (paraphrased): "Having near zero latency, once you hear it, you say to yourself 'Ah, that's what I've been missing.' We've all been using our home/semi-pro systems and just kinda 'working around' the latency thing. The biggest winning thing I'll chime in on is DSP LATENCY. The pros listed for Carbon I can agree with 100%. Learning Luna "because it's gonna be really good someday!" just wasn't working out for me. And I tried Luna, but it didn't feel 'finished'. Console App felt like a tedious & additional layer to get sounds into PT. I could feel and hear it right away.Īs far as pros/cons, I'll say the pros for Apollo never really resonated with me using Apollo (sorry, not sorry). Granted, it wasn't an A-B comparison, but man, this thing just sounds good. Once I heard playback via Carbon I could hear right away greater clarity and detail I'd not heard/remembered in my other systems. Before THAT, I was working with a PT HD-Accel with blueface 192, etc. Before those, I had a quad firewire silverface. Moved to Carbon from a dual Apollo system (Apollo 8 and a 16, both blackface, but not X series). I learned on tape, used PT for over 2 decades, so this is my reference point.
over the years, but it's always back to PT for me. I'll chime in as someone who's a LIFER with Pro Tools.
