This post/question suprised me... I'm kind of surprised that you are not having good luck with the RME+UAD then into Nuendo. Are you really getting bad mixes / bad sound through that combination?

I haven't worked with the UAD, but the magazines have really been pushing it, and a lot of people have been saying good things. And more and more plugins are coming out for it from pretty respectable sources. So this thread really puzzles me.

As for the RME stuff, it should be second to none. The beef against the RME stuff really is how expensive it is. So if the problem is that you don't want to pay for the RME A/D converters, I can see that. So is really just the $$$ that is putting you off your current setup?

Or possibly there might be something odd going on in your mixing chain, either phasing or wordlength conversion issues, or even simple level mismatches. But in general, I think what you have there is really a pretty cool setup. I think Scope is great, and I could expound on that as others here have, but I certainly wouldn't suspect that what you have there is not good...

About the VST, to use VSTi's you gotta have some VST host in your design. There is no VST hosting within the Scope environment itself.

Some applications have their own "application" environment, and can talk to inputs and outputs, either WAV or ASIO. And the routing to and from those apps is dead simple in Scope. If it's just a VSTi, then yeah, you have to use some VST host software, and then talk to that to/from Scope.

It looks like from a quick look at the web, the UAD-1 does act like a VSTi. I think other posts here might talk about Scope -> UAD-1 usage, so you should be able to find someone here with direct experience with that.
