Note: When Limit DSP Load is enabled and the DSP load limit is exceeded when
instantiating a new UAD plug-in, an overload message will appear and the plug-
in status bar will display “DISABLED.” Even though its interface will load in this
state, the plug-in will not process audio.
Limit DSP Load
This setting determines the maximum UAD DSP load. If performance issues such as
overloads, dropouts, stuttering, and/or crackles persist, change the UAD DSP load value
by clicking the triangles to the right of the percentage display.
UAD-2 DSP load limiting is always on. 100% (the default value) is the maximum avail-
able setting.
DSP LoadLock
DSP LoadLock reserves the maximum UAD-2 DSP load required by each plug-in, even
if certain plug-in features are disabled. This ensures there will always be enough DSP
if those features are later enabled, or when automating parameters that affect the DSP
load.
Disabling LoadLock increases available UAD-2 DSP by turning off unused features in
certain plug-ins, but may cause problems with previously saved sessions 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 containing
UAD plug-ins are closed.
(Extra Buffering)
Note: This setting does not apply to Realtime Rack and can be ignored.
(Host Compatibility Settings)
Note: Both settings in this area do not apply to Realtime Rack and can be ig-
nored.
(Release all DSP resources on Audio Unit bypass)
(Force Logic to use “live mode” for tracks with UAD plug-ins)
User Interface Settings
Controls Mode
This setting determines how UAD Powered Plug-In parameter knobs respond to adjust-
ment. Three control modes are offered: Circular, Relative Circular, and Linear. Select the
desired mode from the drop menu. The behavior of each mode is described below.
Linear (slider) – In Linear mode, the knob is adjusted by dragging horizontally or verti-
cally instead of by rotating. This behavior is similar to moving a physical fader.
