They also come equipped with a diverse range of plugins, which allow you to either plug direct into the interface from the instrument, or enhance your existing tone. For that reason, if I had the budget for it, I'd consider the Octo. Universal Audio interfaces provide professional level sound conversion from your instrument to a digital audio workstation on your PC. Especially when I use a handful of 1073 unison plugs, which are MASSIVE power hogs. Gig Performer is a cross-platform (Mac/Windows) audio plugin host for both live performance and session musicians (keyboard players, guitarists, singers, drummers, FOH engineers) looking for an intuitive fast and flexible VST/VST3/AU plugin hosting environment for their software synths and effects. The quad has a lot of processing power, but I do max it out on occasion. If I was relying on the mix to do all that processing, yeah I could see how that would be frustrating.

Like prowler57 says, some of the newer plugs do take up a TON of DSP, but I'm a big fan of printing through plugs on the way into Pro Tools (At least with EQs, texture stuff like the Studer800, etc - Maybe not so much with heavy compression, verb etc), so that I'm able to get a lot more use out of them. The new Console 2.0 program is a huge upgrade, too.

Seriously - Most of my mixes these days are full of UA, Slate and Sonnox Oxford plugs. Discounted plugins are ordered by price from high to low. The pres/converters sound great, and I use the UA plugs all the time, in both tacking and mixing (I'm also a big fan of the Slate plug ins, too). From the award-winning SSL 4000 Collection and CLA Classic Compressors, to the acclaimed Kramer Master Tape and Scheps 73, to Abbey Road plugins such as Reel ADT, WavesвЂ™ modeled plugins define the state of the art. I have one of the first-gen Apollo Quads, and I absolutely love it.

I really love the uad plugins and use them all the time, but you're sort of locked into their ecosystem once you've started, and thats a bit annoying, especially for portability and not beeing able to send your mix projects to people who dont have uad hardware and the plugins youre using.ДЄnd as a last note: you can trust the chart on the UAD website. i think i've spent something like $1500 since i first purchased the satellite a year ago. but remember you'll need to spend money on the plugins you want/need, so even if the unit is within budget, count in the cost of the individual plugins. So i'd go for the largest size your wallet allows for. but in my head i consider those almost as real outboard, to be used either on the master/bus or as a printed effect. but if i start to drop in culture vultures or ampex tapes on more than a few tracks, i'm screwed. but then again, I mostly use the 1176 (a lot of them), lexicon reverb and both EMT plates, all of them are fairly light on processing power. I have the satellite quad, and rarely get into dsp trouble.
