I'm on Native 2018 with 16 I/O. So far there is nothing that I feel I'm lacking, however I mix ITB and if I do use hardware, it's never in parallel, so the absolute slight hardware delay is not even perceivable to me. My hardware uses are generally something on a drum bus or a compressor on a main vocal. I do wish I had access to HEAT, but with VCC/Phoenix, etc, I don't feel that I'm missing out. I can get all my work done with no hiccups ever.

Her's the Slate Interface in action. !!!! I want to hear the raw tracks. Anyone can make it sound polished.. I want to know what it's capturing. At least you can download the sesh and frig around with it. At the bare minimum it might make me buy a small mic or two.

Well, we will see what the future holds as UA is even now advertising for engineers with FPGA expertise ? I was really hoping a new apollo mkiii would be released that was an almost complete redesign ? If the leak is accurate, there is some positive incremental change, but it would also show that the UA mindset is to still under feature the apollo and to expect clients to buy more than 1 etc.. The expense argument made elsewhere certainly has some validity, as UA could design an uber apollo, that for many would be all they would need ? Life goes on ! There was a pretty decent explanation on one of the other forums that the FPGA implementation could be nothing more than just helping the converters work better. In fact there may be parts of the Apollos, as well as many other interfaces, that already implement FGPA in some capacity over regular DSP functions. I'm really not holding my breath for innovation from UA. Also this is the third converter upgrade in such a short period of time. I thought the whole point of the second one was to fix the problems of the first. Seems like they maybe bit off more than they could chew converter wise. They would lose money making an UBER perfect system, which to me would be the ability to run preamp, EQ, and compression emulations on every channel on the way in without a hiccup. I don't particularly care about mixing with UAD, but I want to know I can track 16 channels of my own custom console on the way in without even batting an eye.

Lots of conjecture at UA forum about the leak personally I will wait for "official" release While I'm inclined to agree, the leaks come from fairly reliable sources as well as sales website caches. Unless every single distributor banded together for some elaborate prank, it looks like the only joke is the laughable 50% of power increase on decade old tech that my 4 year old iMac runs circles around.

Have had a 16a for about 3 years now. Love it. I just spent some time over on your site listening to some of your work- great sounding mixes and nice production! It's become very clear to me, that while conversion is important, it is only one piece of the puzzle. I think that sometimes this fact gets lost in the discussion; not in this thread, but I've read plenty where the emphasis gets too narrow. If some (or all) of those tracks were mixed through a 16A, I'm liking the quality. And welcome to RGO! Thank you for the kind words! I think about 90% of my demo reel was through those converters. And thank you for the warm welcome!

Have had a 16a for about 3 years now. Love it. I bought it blindly after shooting out a few converters. The Symphony was a clear winner but the 16a was half the price. After doing some research, I learned about the Sabre 32s and the implementation of them and decided to take a chance. VERY happy I did.

Holy, I don't get what I'm trying to do here. The caps fight me to come off, and when I try to unscrew the little part after I'm convinced I'm gonna break the pot. Help me out here!!!

I think you get what you bought... Not the upgraded version. You could contact Stam and see what the upgrade would be. My point was I'd like the one that was promised to me first, not particularly caring for the fact that there's a MKII on the way.

Actually you know, the Warms don't look that ugly. And the gut shots are nice. It's hard to say no to two channels at $1499 vs two Heritage at $899 each.
EDIT: HOLY, the Warms have THREE HF options. I was gonna look into modding the Heritage to be at 10k. The Warms have 10, 12, and 16. Ooof, I think thats a bingo.

Man now my whole world is upside down. I can buy them in stereo? For slightly more than one AML? But then again if aesthetic is your thing, something about the Heritage looks slightly better. Now the first one to offer a vertical option so I can stack these into a console, wellllll then I might do it haha

Challenge accepted! Basically was gonna be my response but mentioning that Neve summing mixer with the fader pack and a Purple Sweet Ten. A fifth of the cost, if not less. Heck, skip the fader pack, drop an SSL Sigma and two Artist Mixes in there, you’ve got a fully automatable BCM10 with both a Neve and an SSL front end. My original point is these Neves are no less authentic than the ones coming stock in the new BCM10 But that mixbus is going to sound nothing like a BCM10!

if you're feeling fancy you could get: 1x mcm20.4 16x HA73EQ 1x RAM5000 16 channels of heritage eqs and pres, summing, auxiliaries, metering, da converters and monitoring for $19882. oh and it would only take up 21 great sounding rack spaces...

If I'm not mistaken, these are built similar to the 1073s in the new BCM10 right? There was an upgrade for the BCM10 to get ones that weren't manufactured this way for like $20k more or something.
What I'm getting at is, if I bought ten of these and racked them sideways, I'd have a BCM10 for like PEANUTS!

I was able to get one cap off but trying to loosen the screw top was really hard. I felt like I was gonna break the pot. I dunno, maybe I'm a crazy person, but it seems like they're cranked on there pretty tight. Anyone successfully remove the plastic knobs on AML ez1073-500? I know I've seen it once. I ordered some Marconi tiny knockoffs that I wanna toss onto it.

I actually had one once. Done exactly how you described it (ditched output atten). If I can find a photo I'll shoot it your way!!

I agree with many people here. I think this company's talents would be tremendously useful on an SSL style EQ for around the $1000 range. That would be life changing.

I've had a 16A for about a year and a half now, and I love it. I never think twice about anything in my signal flow anymore. TB to the iMac is great, and straight IO instead of pres or anything in the way is nice. I almost never use the DSP or open the MOTU mixer, I just have it set up so I can run everything in PT, and the 16A is just my method of transport.

Recently grabbed a pair of AML ez1073-500s. I cannot believe I waited so long.

If you look at many of his other things, he has some listed for 47.00. So I think it was a matter of a sticky 0 on his keyboard, and he's yet to catch his mistake. Still pretty hilarious

Funny enough, I'm the one who posted that phone screenshot on the FB page! I was thoroughly turned off to anything BAE after watching that video knowing what they were saying were blatant lies. The Chinese switches and the transformer talks seemed like I was watching a commercial for a political campaign. The sad thing is neither company followed through with anything. BAE has yet to really combat the proof Heritage has put forth, and Heritage never responded with that statement "a few days later" as planned.
Either way, BAE has lost any money I would have potentially spent, and Heritage is still in my good books.
