Softube are quality-wise at least on par with UAD, but unlike them they add modern features not existant in whatever hardware they model.Hello. I want to buy UAD Signature. Seems that right now it's on 50%sale... Native version... or better to go with Softube fxs? What's your thoughts?
But what's way more important: UAD either need a Ilok-dongle or an active internet-connection (Ilok Cloud) - and if that wasn't enough, they in addition require another app (UAD Connect) that constantly needs to run on your machine in the background. (I.e. unlike any other software vendor I know of, they rely on two different apps to run permanently and phone home - otherwise they won't load properly/won't work) - so: I only had some free plugins from them (because they don't need the Cloud) but got rid of them and won't touch them with a bargepole in the future - i.e. I won't even use them for free.
So my advice is: stay away from UAD - it's really not worth the trouble.
