Wondering if anyone out there has had experience using a Mackie Control w the UAD-1 PCI dsp card? I'm waiting for a Control, and was strongly considering purchasing the UAD to take the pressure of my B&W G3 400. However I noticed at the Mackie/UAD downloads page there is a list of "issues", including the fairly ambiguous note that the UAD does not work "correctly" with the Mackie Control in both MAS and VST. Tried e-mailing Mackie but no response yet. Anyone have any details on exactly what does not work "correctly"? Need to know how bad this is before I invest in the UAD... (SetUp: B&W G3 400, 700+ megs RAM, DP 3.x in OS 9, MOTU 828, soon a Mackie Control) TIA |

I use the UAD-1 card with DP3. It's fantastic. I got the sound I'd been looking for from plug ins.
About the latency, all you have to do is put in a plug in compensation to the other tracks that don't use UAD (DP only). It will sync perfectly. The CPU performance meter stays surprisingly low when using UAD-1. All I have is a praise for the card. The only thing that UAD-1 has a trouble with is the PCI video card in your Mac. It has to be AGP type otherwise you can't start the computer. And for the Mackie control, it'll be a while before I can buy one.
