i recently bought a universal audio uad1 pci card. i was shocked to find out that when using this card or the tc powercore, every time you use one of it's plugs, a delay occurs!
these guys don't advertise this fact (surprise). yes, the plugs sound GREAT, but a delay equal to the size of your audio buffer kicks in. the only way to compensate for this delay is to bus all unaffected tracks to a return and using a 'delay compensator' plug to effectively delay all other tracks to the same degree! in a mixdown situation where you've made final decisions about all elements of your song and bounced them down as audio tracks this isn't too much of a problem, but whilst you're still working on a song this situation is pretty unbearable. does anybody have similar experience/help for me here, or more importantly, does anybody have news/knowledge about the future of this unique problem? there are other issues that i won't discuss yet, but i'm really hoping that this fundamental problem has some kind of solution. r.s.v.p. -------------------- one for all and all for one...

i can't remember if i read it in sos or audiomedia (probably sos) but i'm sure the problem does exist with the powercore card!
also, i have to say that the ua card is the best of the 2, check their website uaudio.com for some major facts, they make it very clear what makes their card better and they make some great comparisons between tc, bomb factory and pro tools with themselves. universal audio are the siblings of bill putnam, the inventor of the 1176 compressor amongst other things, the sonic integrity of this card is incredible, it represents the 'old school' of audio processors where the tc card is obviously the 'new school', i don't want to live without tc's technology but, that 'old school' sound remains the most desirable 'x' factor available. on the subject of dp, have you tried altiverb yet? i've heard great things about it!!! peace... -------------------- one for all and all for one...
