UAD Powered Plug-Ins Manual - 36 - Using UAD Powered Plug-Ins
UAD System Information Window
The UAD System Information window (Figure 9 on page 37 and Figure 10 on
page 38) displays the version of the UAD software drivers in use by the UAD
hardware and also allows you to confirm that the card is working properly.
When the window displays UAD Status: OK and UAD DSP: OK, the card is
operating properly. The number of UAD plugins loaded on the card(s) is also
displayed here.
If more than one UAD card is installed, information for each of the cards is dis-
played. The card that has the lowest DSP usage will receive the next plugin
load.
Important: The version of the UAD Drivers and the Powered Plug-Ins files
must match. If they don’t, a “driver mismatch” error will occur when attempt-
ing to process audio. If this occurs, you must reinstall the latest UAD Powered
Plug-Ins software. Refer to the QuickStart Guide for instructions
Card Enabled Individual UAD cards can be disabled using the Card Enabled function. This
can be useful, for example, if creating a session on a system with multiple
cards that will be transferred to a system with fewer cards or to streamline the
performance of the host system when multiple cards are not needed.
For additional information regarding the use of multiple cards, see “Multiple
Cards” on page 64.
Note: For optimum results, quit any host applications using UAD plugins be-
fore disabling/enabling cards.
In Mac OS, the current UAD plugin latency is displayed in the System Infor-
mation window. In Windows, this information is displayed in the Configura-
tion window (page 45). The latency is usually twice the hardware buffer size.
Windows Click a card column to view more information about that card in the status
area. If a card has errors, the error information for that card is automatically
displayed in the status area without having to click its card column.
