Hi Bill,
I don't doubt Rupert builds in a beautiful sound into almost
everything he touches. Oddly, I had a hard time liking the Neve
comp (UAD) when I gave it a spin. It seemed difficult to setup
for seemingly not a huge audio gain. I'm sure I missed something
there. It's cpu hungry tendency drove me away. I do like the Fairchild
although rarely and frequently use the La2a and 1176.
I have heard engineers complain of the Neve buildup issue regarding
consoles though. I like to use the hardware Neve pres as spice to bring
some
more attention to certain tracks.
If I get the UAD-2 I'll have the resources to try the Neve comp again
and understand it's use. Have you got any tips there?
Tom

Hey DJ, I thought Chris Ludwig stated that when you use UAD1's with UAD2,
you bring the performance of the UAD2(s) down to the UAD1 level.

Hey.. No no.. He did not state that it would not run and run smoothly, only
that by mixing both cards (UAD1 & UAD2) the UAD2's performance will be "Idled
down" to that of the UAD1..
