Universal Audio UAD SYSTEM ver.6.3.2 - Manual (Page 50)

UAD System Manual - 50 - Chapter 6: UAD Meter & Control Panel
Note: If “No Devices Found” appears in the UAD Meter window instead of
the expected buttons and gauges, then the UAD drivers are not communicat-
ing with the UAD hardware. If this occurs, double-check hardware and soft-
ware installations and/or contact customer support.
UAD Meter Elements
Refer to Figure 7 on page 48 for these element descriptions.
Title Bar The Title Bar (the strip across the top of the UAD Meter window) contains but-
tons to quit the UAD Meter & Control panel application, minimize the UAD
Meter window, and a drop menu to access the Control Panel window func-
tions.
Disable Current The Disable Current button disables all UAD Powered Plug-Ins
that are currently running. This enables you to add new UAD
plug-ins for offline processing, or easily compare the sound of
the processed and unprocessed audio.
When the button glows blue, UAD plug-ins are active. Click
the button to disable the active plug-ins; the button changes to
black with blue lettering. New UAD plug-ins can still be
added; click the button again to re-activate all UAD plug-ins.
Note: Disable Current stays active only while the UAD Meter & Control Panel
application is open. When the UAD Meter & Control Panel is quit, Disable
Current is deactivated.
Resource
Gauges
The UAD resource loads are displayed in the UAD Meter window, which are
constantly updated in realtime even when the UAD Meter is not the fore-
ground application. This allows you to monitor UAD loads as needed, for ex-
ample when deciding which UAD plug-ins to load, based upon how much
DSP is available.
The UAD resources are displayed as bar graphs and as percentages.
Averaged Loads
The load for each gauge represents the average for all UAD devices in use.
For example, if one UAD-2 QUAD is installed, the UAD-2 DSP load is an av-
erage of the four SHARC DSP processors on the QUAD. If two UAD-2 QUADs
are installed, then the eight processors are averaged.
