I just received the latest Sony catalog in which there's a plug (pun intended) for the Oxford plugins – of course this requires a Powercore unit. Anyone using these? Any reports?
I'm very interested in these because of the eq and I think the TC 6000 verb in now available for them (or soon at least). Yes, a native version of the eq would be nice but there's no way the verb could be the same quality as a native plug.
I'm primarily interested in the verbs. I've read reports on other forums of folks who have both the Powercore and UAD-1. Virtually everyone feels the verbs in Powercore are more comprehensive and sound really wonderful. Most prefer the UAD-1 for compressors and to a lesser extent, eq. Therefore, the BIG question is: how well does the Powercore system get along with Sony apps? The Powercore system is a lot more $, but from all reports I've seen here, the UAD-1 still doesn't work well enough with Sony apps for me to risk it. With Vegas 6 apparently its gotten worse? So, I'm interested in the Powercore but I'm not gonna spend $1k to be a beta-tester. Has anyone here tried these?
