Chapter 29: Ocean Way Studios

The latency of Ocean Way Studios depends on the sample rate. The exact la-
tency values are provided in

Table 23

.

Note:

As with all UAD plug-ins, the latency of Ocean Way Studios is auto-

matically compensated by the DAW. See “Delay Compensation” in the UAD
System Manual for related information.

Load Time

When certain Ocean Way Studios controls are modified (items in the two
left-most columns in

Table 24 on page 303

), the impulse response engine is

updated and/or microphone recalculations are performed by the plug-in.

These IR updates and recalculations are not instantaneous; there is a time lag
before the new control values are heard. Additionally, sonic artifacts and/or
host CPU increases can occur while these recalculations are performed if au-
dio is currently being processed by the plug-in.

Because there are extensive interdependencies within the plug-in, the specific
load time depends on the control(s) being modified. The

“Load Progress LED”

on page 308

is a status indicator that flashes during the reload.

Automation Limitations

The load time can be an impediment if the specific controls are modified with
automation during a mix.

We recommend against changing specific controls with automation to avoid
sonic artifacts and/or host CPU increases. If automation must be used on
these controls, only snapshot automation should be used (instead of continu-
ous automation), and only when the signal being processed is not audible (for
example, between musical phrases). Parameter automation recommenda-
tions are listed in

Table 24 on page 303
