UAD Powered Plug-Ins Manual - 104 - DreamVerb
PC On Windows systems, the default preset location is inside the Presets direc-
tory, which is created within the directory selected during software installa-
tion. For example, if the default location was specified when running the UAD
Powered Plug-Ins Installer, the location would be:
C:\Program Files\Universal Audio\Powered Plugins\Presets
This default location can be changed during installation; the new location will
be remembered as the default.
Mac OS On OS 9 systems the default preset location is:
System Folder:Application Support:Universal Audio:Presets
On OS X systems the default preset location is:
Library:Application Support:Universal Audio:Presets
Using Host
Application
Management
Most host applications include their own method of managing plugin presets.
For example, the currently selected preset is saved in Cubase/Nuendo when
“Save Effect” is used. The solo/mute buttons (wet, dry, input) are not saved.
All presets and programs are saved when “Save Bank” is used in the host.
They are also saved in the session file for each instance of the plugin.
Editing the name modifies the current preset's name. The new name will ap-
pear in all preset selection lists and will be saved with the session, bank, or
effect.
Spatial Characteristics
Size The apparent size of a reverberant space is dependent on many factors. Most
reverbs on the market have a “size” parameter, which usually modifies sev-
eral facets of the reverb algorithm at once. You may notice DreamVerb does
not have a “size” parameter. Instead, the elements that control the reverber-
ant space are available to the user.
In DreamVerb, room size is determined by the interaction between all the pa-
rameters in the Reflections and Reverberation panels. To get a larger-sound-
ing space, increase the T60 (reverberation time), use proportionally more air,
increase the pre-delays, and slightly shift the Resonance transition frequencies
to lower values.
