Think of the UAD hardware as just another computer to run software on, which won't tax your main CPU. Now here comes my question (and yes I´m specificly asking for your personal opinion!) -): - Do you think it´s better to invest in real hardware or buy the ultimate bundle? - Is the UAD-software much better in results than other software, like the UAD-software-CA-2A compared to the CA-2A ProChannel-Plugin for Sonar? Thank you so much for your thoughts in advance.

This card comes with a huge bundle of plugins and most of them emulates the hardware I was looking for. But there is this company called Universal Audio, which offers the UAD-2 OCTO Ultimate. I also thinking about getting hardware like a CA-2A amp and stuff. :-) I´m now working with a Roland UA-1610 Studio Capture which is eqipped with preamps but I want a external tube driven amp. I´m getting more and more to do and it´s become more than just a simple homestudio. I´m planning to buy some new stuff for my studio. UAD Software or a real preamp for recording, real hardware for compression?
