The UAD satellies DSP cards still take the processing strain off the Mac book pro's CPU.

It is not a fully functional DAW but only allows you to patch in a plugin to an interface in a very basic channel in the app. I discovered an application called AU-lab which allows me to do just that. However, I did a google search to see if there is a very simple application available for MAC to allow me to patch in my UAD plugins to my 1640i with low latency. I could possibly use my UAD plugins in same way if I patch to from protools but may experience latency issues or time shift between DAW processed and non-processed channels on the 1640i.

To use Multirack I need to get some waves plugins as I have none - I use UAD all the way.īUT. I have multirack native as I got it free with Waves Tracks Live recording app. This mixer can be used with Waves MultiRack Native running their plugins 'inserted' on my mixer's channels. The mixer's channels firewire outputs can be tapped after the gain and hi pass filter or post insert and eq.The return stream can go through insert point - eq if switched on- aux and routing.

I have a MACKIE Onyx 1640i analogue 16 channel mixer with built in firewire interface. I have been investigating something today.
