Je travail encore avec un vieux G3 333Mhz et j'envisage d'achetter une carte PCI UAD-1 ou TC works pour avoir plus d'effets disponibles pour mixer. J'hesite entre les deux. Laquelle choisir? Y a t'il des utilisateurs parmis vous?

why do french language posts occasionally appear in the english forums?
anyway, the answer is, the uad1 gives much more power and classic quality, the powercore provides many less plugs but allows third party developers to write for it! rolleyes.gif
get the uad1...

biggrin.gif Thanks damann for the advice, that was really fast! (I am bilingual and had not realised that this was an english forum.) Have you had a chance to compare the quality of the two effects cards?

hi edward,
i have a uad1 and have to say that as an ex protools owner who still uses other peoples pt rigs, the uad1 definitely sounds BETTER. blink.gif
i've used the powercore, the only thing about it that i liked was the sony oxford eq, but this has to be bought quite expensively as an addition to the card! the main problem i have with the powercore is the fact that it only manages about a quarter of the power that can easily be expected from the uad1! unsure.gif
the uad1 is made by universal audio who undeniably make very special, classic sounding equipment. check their website, uaudio.com for their comparisons with some very famous competitors. i recommend you spend as much time as possible reading their spec comparisons etc. wink.gif
good luck...

Why does the date read Sept 26th?

Are you guys east of America or is the time screwed up..

I Love my UAD-1....and had done quite a bit of comparison shopping before I got it.
Just don't like the latency so it doesn't make for a good monitoring tool for live inputs. But the sound quality is second-to-none... biggrin.gif

o.k shahasad,
i should have mentioned the latency issue with BOTH of these cards! unsure.gif
even though logic now includes an integral delay compensator for these cards, it's, unfortunately, not great. unsure.gif
i did mention this issue in these forums many months ago and it remains an issue!!! unsure.gif
