Universal Audio UAD SYSTEM ver.6.3.2 - Manual (Page 61)

UAD System Manual - 61 - Chapter 6: UAD Meter & Control Panel
Disabling LoadLock increases available UAD-2 DSP by turning off unused fea-
tures in certain plug-ins, but may cause problems with previously saved ses-
sions that had all plug-in features enabled, or when automating parameters
that affect the DSP load.
Enabling DSP LoadLock is recommended for optimum performance. Disable
LoadLock when you need to squeeze in that extra bit of DSP resources.
Note: Changes to this setting do not take effect until all open sessions con-
taining UAD plug-ins are reloaded.
UAD-2 Extra
Buffering
Extra Buffering adds an additional 64 samples of buff-
ering for increased host application compatibility. Ap-
plications that are known to require Extra Buffering in-
clude Sony Vegas, Acid, and Soundforge, and Sonar Cakewalk.
In other hosts, you can disable this mode to reduce latency. If your application
is incompatible with reduced latency when Extra Buffering is off, a dialog will
be displayed indicating that Extra Buffering is required.
Note: Changes to this setting do not take effect until all open sessions con-
taining UAD plug-ins are reloaded.
Host
Compatibility
Windows Enable CPU Optimization
When this setting is enabled, host CPU usage is significantly reduced, partic-
ularly when running larger numbers of plug-ins and/or small buffer sizes. In-
cidents of host CPU overloads with high graphical activity are also signifi-
cantly reduced.
The default value is ON. We recommend leaving this setting enabled on all
Windows systems.
Important: If UAD-2 plug-ins are already loaded when the setting is
changed, the host application must be restarted for the change to take effect.
