Apollo Software Manual Chapter 3: Console Application 30
Inserts
The Inserts section is where UAD Powered Plug-Ins are selected and used for Realtime
UAD Processing. Four insert slots are available per Console strip; therefore up to four
UAD plug-ins can be serially stacked (chained) per input within the constraints of avail-
able DSP resources.
Important: UAD Powered Plug-Ins within Console use DSP differently than when
used within a DAW. To maintain the lowest possible input latency, UAD plug-ins
used on a single Console channel strip must fit within a single DSP processor.
Therefore, it is possible to get a “DSP load limit exceeded” message even though
the UAD Meter may indicate there is enough DSP available.
General UAD plug-ins usage instructions are in the UAD System Manual. See the UAD
Plug-Ins Manual for specific details about individual UAD Powered Plug-Ins.
Unison PREAMP Insert
Apollo’s Unison technology is activated when a Unison-enabled UAD pre-
amp plug-in is loaded in the special PREAMP insert slot (above the stan-
dard insert slots). Console PREAMP inserts are only available on Apollo’s
mic preamp channel inputs. See the
Unison chapter for complete details
about this feature.
Note: Unison (and the PREAMP insert) is unavailable with Apollo 16, which does
not feature microphone preamplifiers.
