By admin On December 2, 2011 · Add Comment · In News, News

Well, I have my UAD-2 Duo in the mail, Uaudio have a plugin special and I also have received an offer of a cheap CPTK license. Should I or shouldn’t I?

As my experiences go, Protools is overtly expensive for too little, at least based on the last update. but CPTK will take it to [...]
