1176 & Pultec on Kick. Not Pultec pro. It's the only UAD plugin I've 
not bought.

1176 & Cambridge on snare.

Maybe just a bit of EQ on hats. 2 parametric bands is enough - maybe 
Waves renaisence or Logic's own.

Very  little on cymbals - perhaps a bit of compression. Something fast 
and transpearant.

1176 & Cambridge on toms.

Maybe a bit or eq on overheads but only sometimes.

I use Fairchild or LA2A & Cambridge on vocals.

Don't use any of the UAD's modulation or delay FX. I prefer Logic's own.

I love the Precision limiter and use it everywhere I used to use a 
Waves L1 or L2 - mainly drum & bass group, mix bus & for mastering.

I like the UAD reverbs but have not used them a lot. Now I have 2 UAD's 
that may change....

Hey all -

any opinions on the best pro-tools compatible upgrade path from a 
g4/digi001 setup is?

I'm assuming that pretty much the only choice is the 002 or 002r, but 
wondering if I'm overlooking anything...  2 ins won't do it, so the 
mbox is out.

the other question is, is it really worth it to upgrade at all when 
you've got a pretty decent setup and it will cost you a small fortune 
to do so.  apple and digi have got the lowend in a tight place 
requiring us to upgrade the computer and audio equipment at the same 
time.

I'd love to hear from anyone who's done this migration.

thanks -

Michael

What computer are you running? I understand there is a
problem with the Uads and G5s but that it is
especially troublesome if using multiple Uads.

I Have a Dual 1GHZ Quicksilver G4. UAD performs best under OS X.3 but 
most of my mixing is still done under 9.2. UAD gives occasional clicks 
& pops under 9 but EVERYTHING about 9 is so much faster and almost as 
stable.
