Flo Tools is a non issue here. Flo Tools is a set of scripts to provide some additional keyboard shortcut and spoken feedback for voice over users. Flo Tools will not have any control over any audio interfaces. Also short of using one of Avid branded control surfaces, 3rd party control surfaces are by definition Limited by comparison with what they can do in Pro Tools. This is probably why they couldn’t speak to what extent it could control the DAW. So while The Soft Tube Console One surface can make use of controlling UAD and Soft tube plug in’s in Protools, which I imagine will be a great out of the box experience if the console one comes set up to work with those plug ins automatically, I don’t see this increasing accessibility in the UAD console application. The UAD console application when last I used it just showed up as a blank screen to VoiceOver. So even though you can change the values of parameters with the Console one, unless VO is able to see and read out those values being adjusted, there will still be no way to know what values are being changed.And that doesn’t even begin to address how you would select channels and load plug ins onto said channels in the UAD console to record through if the whole thing shows up as a blank screen to VoiceOver. I think the console one is intended to speed workflow for those that can already see the screen so they don’t have to fiddle with a keyboard or mouse to adjust values, but with current data/knowledge I don’t see how it can resolve the accessibility issue. The only other way I see being able to take advantage of UAD’s unison technology short of Universal Audio making the UAD console accessible, is if they allow for when you instantiate a plug in inside of the DAW, that it too can trigger the Unison changes in the Preamp. Latency is low enough now on thunderbolt interfaces and the plug ins are already running off their DSP chips so they won’t be adding any additional CPU hit. Until they fix this problem, PreSonus, Apogee, Focusrite and others have a host of comparable quality Thunderbolt interfaces that lets you track through plugs ins while recording due to having sub 2ms of latency. Waves, Brainworks and other high end Plug in makers also have comparable software emulations of a lot of the same classic analog hardware on UAD’s platform. I feel we have options, so vote with your wallets. > On Nov 30, 2017, at 1:50 PM, Andre Jarreau <[email protected]> > wrote: > > Just got off the phone with a distributer for SoundTube and Apollo.
