Makes mixing so easy I just may buy another one.
It's been said before and it's 100% true - there's no question that UAD plugins are simply best of breed. The DSP usage of some of the newer generation UAD2 plugins however makes you end up choosing between great plugins when you've just got an Apollo Twin. You can "freeze" tracks in Logic to save DSP but you cannot do that with buses - which is where I find I do most of my compression/limiting/eq. Being able to daisy chain multiple Thunderbolt satellites in my setup is a god send. Even with just a quad satellite it's opened the possibility of using multiple instances of MKII plugins that otherwise I would have had to disable, going with Legacy versions instead. I love it!

Completely changed the way I mix!
I have heard about UA stuff for a while now, but have been hesitant to take the plunge. I have to say that the satellite that I recently purchased is amazing and so are the plugs. My UAD has taken so much of the strain away from my computer that I can actually mix like I used to on an analog console. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this to my friends. Such a great addition to my mix room.

This is a killing system !
I was a Creamware/SonicCore customer as I did believe in working with SHARC DSPs. I sold my 2 PowerPulsar cards as the software was not running on Mac OS X when I switched from PC and because they did not propose plugins replicas of the music industry standards, I discovered UAD2. So I did acquire the UAD-2 Satellite Thunderbolt OCTO Ultimate 4 together with the Apollo Twin Thunderbolt: 10 DSPs in total as the SonicCore XITE-1 but loaded with fabulous plugins and seamless integration with my DAW. Next level: bring in synthesizers like the Acces Virus for a much better integration than the TI Desktop. Thanks a lot: the quality of my productions has improved a lot.

Loving my Satellite
Gives me the DSP power to comfortably utilise my UAD plugins in the right way. I was struggling to manage my resources using the Apollo on its own, I've just completed the best sounding remix I've ever made and UAD meter and CPU meter both only at 50%. This gives me far more power than upgrading my IMac would so the purchase was a no brainier. I see many people are moaning about Thunderbolt cables but I understand that Apple does not permit you to supply one, so it's not the fault of UAD. Keep coming with the deals on plugins and be happy to keep buying.... UAD has has seriously bridged the gap for me from being a bedroom producer to a professional one who receives regular radio play.

Excelent!
Performs better than expected. Universal Audio's care for quality and sound are top notch.

THUNDER THUNDER THUNDERBOLT HOOOOOOO
As I stated in my Apollo Twin review , I grabbed a Satellite Quad UAD2 to use the heavier plug ins on the mix side and it works just as advertised. Five Sharc Chips is plenty enough DSP for what i'm doing, can't speak for others. I'm running a small home personal recording studio and it does what I need it to do when i need it to do it,lol. UAD plug ins "ARE" the best sounding plug ins in the business , point blank. For those individuals that are on a budget like myself, demo the plug ins and "ONLY" purchase the ones that you will most likely use daily like i did. The only downside is once again, it doesn't come with a thunderbolt cable, C'MON UA.........

Love it
I ended up with a Quad through the December promo. I was already considering upgrading to the "next gen" Apollo - a free Quad forced my hand. I'm not sure the improvements to the Apollo are exactly night and day - but doubling my DSP has made a huge difference to my work flow. I don't have to worry about running out of juice anymore - Studers on every track!

All the juice I need
So simple to set up, instant satisfaction.
Bought it for extra power to run alongside my Apollo Twin Duo on my laptop/travel rig.
I haven't been able to make it quit yet.

Satellite 2 - Game Changer
Changed the way I record in my home studio. I run it on top of my Apollo 8 and I NEVER run out of DSP, I honestly can't believe how powerful this unit is. UAD fucking rocks, there's no other way to put it. I am new to the UAD world and am still getting blown away almost daily. In a world of thin, shitty, digital everything, it's refreshing to see a company doing it so right. Oh, and their customer service kicks ass too.

Satelite Quad TB
Install software, plug it and play, so simple!
Extra power for my system with no problems!
But you better include the TB cable too ;)
A. Fischer
Good Gear
To have extra horse power for those thirsty plug-ins. I had hoped the additional DSP would be available while recording, but unfortunately that is not the case. And I aggree with others that a complimentary Thunderbolt cable would be nice and appropriate for a premium prodact and manudacturer.

Revolutionary!
This is a stunning device. I added it to my Apollo Duo and the boost in horsepower is simply amazing. The two are a great pair. I have plenty of DSP for really intense multitrack AND mastering projects. I had been waiting ages for the audio industry to adopt Thunderbolt. I am so glad UA has blasted the trail. I'm running this system on a Mac mini and the power I have available is astounding.

Great!
Wonderful! Married perfectly with my Apollo Twin!

Power Infusion
When is more horsepower a bad thing? NEVER. Got the quad satellite to add to my Twin Duo and I'm a happy camper. It's nice not to have to plan my plug in selections based on DSP limitations anymore. Love UA stuff, best out there and so easy to use. The satellite connected like a breeze (I did have to buy my own cable) and I was immediately ready for action.
Thanks UA. Forever a fan.

UAD should include a thunderbolt cable for the price.
I just upgraded from 2 DSP to 10, and I got UAD liberated, my DSP breads. I don't need to calculate in advance what plug-ins I'm going to use. Really easy installation just like my Apollo, the only negative point: no Thunderbolt cable included, at this price you guys could make an effort and put, at least, a 30cm cable with it. 4 stars instead of 5 for it.

great if it have a thunderbolt cable with it
great if it have a thunderbolt cable with it!!

Works perfectly with the apollo
I have my Thunderbolt Quad satellite daisy chained with my Apollo Twin. Easy to set up and ive been tracking with ease ever since:)

Fantastic piece of gear! I just wish it would show up in the console app.
