Here, let me help you respond like a normal human being:

"You might have missed it when looking at the page, but it does say it's a firewire interface as well".

There you go, glad I could help.

Relax, jackass, I missed it, hence the edit. Why are you so rude?

Shut the f**k up, moron. I wasn't just talking to you, and your edit was late.

Witty. And your edit was late too.

Unlike you, I wasn't trying to be witty, "jackass".

No, you were just being a rude dick. I get it.

Anyway, getting back to the topic it does look pretty cool, but unless you really want their plugins, I don't really see the appeal over an RME either.

People will be able to "track" to tape with this interface. Isn't that a bit special?

Im not sure really - because its a plugin (not real tape) that you can use and mix with anyway - along with a bunch of other non UAD ones...and the processing is post A/D...

I think having a low latency mix environment with some useful features like reverb for vocalists whilst tracking is cool...but Im unconvinced about this tracking with plugins idea...

Its certainly potentially useful if you know you will end up using a specific chain when mixing...but not a game changer IMO.

It looks like a very nice interface tho - and the price is better than I thought. A lot will ride on its drivers. UA seem pretty good on this. Its possible that the Mic Pres and conversion could be best of class who knows.

It's kind of a shame they didn't make the UFX USB3.0, but then again 2.0 and Firewire probably still do well with the traffic, and I doubt that USB3.0 would have any significant effect on latency, or lack there of.

Looks awesome....
I will buy one as soon as the economy will boom again....

Hopefully I will still be alive by then.

Nice! Just a little disappointed KVR doesn't have a proper versus thread yet

Peace,
Andy.

@soundcard: Honestly exciting news from namm for a change

I have no need for one but I'm excited to see how it pans out

LOVE the idea of what they are selling........very worried about host compatibility though

That does have my attention as well. Although, like you, I am concerned about compatibility issues

I'm in a position of change right now and just sold a load of stuff, but I have been looking at the Thunderbolt PCIe expansion options but this has changed my perception somewhat!

I was looking to buy the Satellite DUO, and use the Thunderbolt expansion to house my UAD Solo, Mmm.

I'm surprised they did not include TB as standard. They're pretty pricey and I can only imagine the optional TB card to be big money.

I've already got an RME FF800, what to do!

It does look nice though

Edit, I get it now.

UAD Apollo - if they get the drivers right, this is the interface to end all
