Fantastic!
UAD-2 Satellite Quad Thunderbolt......The additional power via SHARC processors - added to the built in Apollo processors make a huge difference in the number of instances and the overall load on the host. Very noticeable difference. I want another one now....

If you're wondering if you should get one of these, stop wondering...
I never thought I'd achieve this much DSP headroom on a macbook pro based system. I recently added the Thunderbolt option to my Apollo Quad. After seeing the the DSP boost after that mod, I couldn't help but add the octo sattelite. I tried to "choke it" by adding the most DSP hungry plugins I could, in crazy multiples. Things you would never do in a normal recording even of high track count. A half hour passed and my wrist got tired of clicking open plugins by the time I had used up just 50% of my available DSP headroom on a late 2013 MBP with 16 gig ram and a solid state internal drive.
I never would have believed this was possible with a notbook computer. Amazing power in an equally amazingly small footprint. I can now put off buying a mac pro for another year or so. After 20 years I'm finally not missing my old reel to reel (quite as much). Buying my Apollo 3 years ago was the beginning of a whole new musical life which I thought was long dead and gone. Never thought I'd be advocating the sound and convenience of digital. Great work UA.

Mandatory for my projects!
The OCTO is the main reason I'm able to go 100% ITB with my tracking and mixes. My clients are familiar with me working on a large SSL desk with tons of outboard gear and a spaghetti patch bay. I'm able to deliver the same result from my home studio with a MacBook Pro, Apollo interface, and the OCTO Satellite. I have even more flexibility as I have 100% total recall- Even the vocal chain used in the UAD Console for that session! Not to mention MULTIPLE instances of classic, vintage outboard and console gear in pristine condition vs. hoping and praying the room you're working in has everything fully functional. If you've invested in UAD-2 Plugins, the OCTO is a no-brainer.

Esta muy bien
Me gustó mucho este nuevo producto... Pero solo tengo algo en contra. Como puede ser que teniendo 8 procesadores no aguante muchos plugin.... Bueno......
Pero en general es perfecta.

Huge DSP
It's great having huge DSP now. I'm able to use even more of the great UA plugins.

I love it!

UAD #1
I upgraded from an apogee "which I love" but.... UAD definitely spells perfection!! I didn't want to run out of processing power with sooooo many plugins in my mixer! Now with a Apollo Quad and an Octo I am one happy camper!! Definitely high quality!! If your sound STILL doesn't sound good.... then it's you!!

easy breezy
Great to have the extra DSP, and as always, a breeze to install. I was up and running in less that 5 minutes

Outstanding is all I can say
This unit, is the most amazing piece of equipment that I ever owned. I've been buying plugins for years and none of them can stand up to the UAD-2 Satellite. Right off the back I could hear a major difference just being set in the default position alone. I recommend this unit to anyone that wants an immediate change in their mixing & mastering.
A. Perry
great!
I can now run a lot more plugins and that can only be good.

Run Plugins efficiently
If your run multiple plugins in your signal chain (and who doesn't) this is the missing link. The system will run better with this gear attached.
K. Johannessen
Highly recommended
No more worries about running out of Plug-ins and worked within a few seconds!!

Took advantage of the satellite promo !
Everything's works like a charm !
I'm hooked !
My Apollo 8p and Satellite allow me to mix almost exclusively with UAD !
A. Beckman
A perfect mixing companion
So happy with this thing! Not only has it made a huge difference using the uad plugins, but being able to offload a large amount of the processing from my computer has been helping a lot with larger projects! The 1073 is must have, it's magic...
