Hi Malachi,

I bought one, liked it a lot and bought a second one.

I had to tweak my PCI bus latency settings to get it to work without
problems. Works great now. Adding the 2nd card stabilized things
further.

Absolutely!

I did and may get a 3rd one in the future, although I'm presently
considering putting my pennies towards buying a Royer R-122 mic' first.

I forgot to say...there's a UAD forum if you'd like more technical answers
about the card.

All the cool UAD kids hang out there. :-)

Yes I have 2 of them.

I think they're great. None here.

Most of them.

I've got no slots for a 3rd card, and a Magma PCI expansion is just too much
money.

Wow I just looked at my I/O and it is set to 1024!

I have a UAD-1...the early Mackie version that includes the LA-2A
compressor in the native set of plug-ins. I got it via eBay. United
Audio allows transfer of UAD-1 registration to another owner. I guess
they figure the processing card is both a product and a dongle.

UAD-1 was was a bit unstable (annoyingly so) with Sonar 4.0.2 and
earlier, but 4.0.3 fixed it. I was not happy about the
playback-mute-while-recording problems that ensued when I first
installed 4.0.3. I'm now running S4S 4.0.3 with good stability since I
increased the disk I/O buffer setting to 512 (was 128). My previous
Sonar version was S3P.

I find that the 1176LN/SE and the LA-2A and DreamVerb are worth the
price of admission with this UAD-1 card. Working in combination with the
Voxengo AnalogFlux Suite, I find that I only rarely have to instantiate
the WaveArts TrackPlug (previous favorite compressor) or the Lexicon
Pantheon (previous favorite reverbs). The Sonitus MultiBand compressor
is handy for many things, so it gets a whirl once in a while.

I'm running on an Intel motherboard (i845?) and never had to bother with
anything in the BIOS. I also have a second PC that does most/all of my
softsynth work, so I don't generally set my latency below 11.6 ms.

In summary, I'm a satisfied user who might someday throw the money at
one of the EQ plugins in the UAD-1 (perhaps a Pultec).
