Well this is confusing, UAD are now selling Plugin Alliance (more specific Brainworx) plugins for their expensive dongles that moonlight as interfaces

Not sure if they're the same (in which case why wouldn't you buy just from PA for much cheaper on their regular sales) or if they have some mojo the Apollo's are able to utilise

The selling point apparently is the lower latency when recording with Apollos, though I am not sure why someone would use a mastering compressor on their input channel whilst recording to disk.

Supposedly UA is going to have some new UADx plugins coming. Maybe even some new ports? :pray:
