if I was using a UAD reverb, could i turn it down later? I'm assuming the controls are virtual, no?Īctually their plugins can be used in the DAW as well. so they don't actually act as native plugins in that you can change the effects down the line? E.g. Also, didn't realize that UAD effects are applied as you record things into the actual set. but it just isn't a great mixing solution due to the delay UaD plugins add (unless your job is literally a mixing engineer and latency doesn't matter). it's also good to track live vocals and guitar with, assuming you are recording with no effects. I like my apollo for what it is: a high quality, nice sounding interface with good preamps and nice knobs.

also if you want to apply UAD effects after you record (ie as inserts) forget about it, you will destroy your projects latency, all future inputs (ie midi) will be delayed by 3ms x number of UAD plugin instances. if you have any ableton or vsts you like to track through (ie reverbs delays), forget about tracking at sub-2ms latency with those. and it also means you can only track through UAD plugins to get that sub-2ms latency. but this means you have to pretty much 'print' the effects you apply when you track live, once they make their way into ableton they will already have the effect on them. this allows you to track and apply uad plugin effects 'live' with no delay. but as another poster said you are basically tracking through apollo software, not ableton.
