The press releases should have read "we're more than happy to let Universal Audio spend a bundle on hardware development and just rewrite our old plugins to work in their API"

I like my PowerCore. and the Virus softsynth. Wish i could find a multi-dsp license.

I used to love my TC powercore when I still had a computer with PCI slots that could run it.
The reverb and limiters were great, the Tubefx plugin is the ONLY tube sim I have ever heard that sounded realistic. If I can get that one plug in back I am on board.
Their SH101-ish synth wasn't half bad either.
I think the problem wirth most of the TC stuff wasn;'t that it sounded bad or cost too much. More that their plugins were kind of too technical and not terriblyuser friendly. The Tubefx for example took me a long time to understand the various options and params. And I have built preamps and power supplies from scratch.
Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with all thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave

Thanks I remember some petition going around for a bit about this, still this is good news for me as I now use the UAD Apollo Duo recently released. I would just like the Dynamic EQ plug first off though Ash
