Anyone using the UAD-1??

I picked one of these bad boys up fpr $650. Best money I ever spent. Now when I mix in cubase, the host CPU is quite low, as all the power hungry stuff (reverb, compression) go to the UAD-1.

Just wondering what others think of this great card.

I've been looking at the uad-1. How would you compare the reverb to others you've tried? I assume the compressor is great since they make some of the long standard high end studio hardware compressors.

What type of system do you have and did you have any compatability issues or installation problems?

I have

ASUS A7V
Athlon 1.2 GHz
768 MB PC133
Delta1010
Matrox G450
IBM 75GXP
IBM 60GXP

I didn't have any compatibility problems.

I haven't messed with the reverb too much. Sounds at least as good as any plugin I've heard. Audiophile types seem to think it is much better than any native plugins. I just love how it lessens the CPU load and makes my life so much easier.
