So... Interested in a UAD-1 card but not sure how the whole thing works?
When buying a used UAD-1 card....
1) Do they have some sort of 'base plugin configuration' associated with each individual card that comes 'pre authorized' that will work out of the box without UA account/authorization file?
2) Would you need to take 'ownership' of someone's pre-existing account/ authorization file to use the basic plugs associated with that card?
2a) Would you still need the installers for the basic plugs associated with the card or are they somehow imbedded on the card?
3) If you're looking for certain 'optional/purchased' plugs do you need to find a card that they are already associated with and acquire that particular card/ authorization file?
4) As far as multiple card use goes... If you had one card with certain plugs that you wanted and another card that had DIFFERENT plugs, do you need 2 separate Authorization files? How would that work?
5) UAD-1 cards are usable in OS 9 with ProTools using a certain 'RTAS wrapper'? Does that function ok?
Soo as you can see, I don't know JACK about these cards! Haha!
Thanks for any info!
