UAD Powered Plug-Ins Manual - 58 - Using UAD Powered Plug-Ins
Plugs parameter The TrackAdv Plugs parameter value to be used on a track insert is simply the
number of UAD plugins that are being used in sequence on the send, group,
or bus that the track is assigned to.
For example, if three separate sends are used and each send return has one
instance of UAD plugins, the TrackAdv Plugin value for the audio tracks insert
would be one. However, if one send/group/bus is used that has three in-
stances of UAD Powered Plug-Ins stacked up, the TrackAdv Plugs value for the
tracks inserts would be three.
Note: The TrackAdv “Plugs” value on the track insert matches the total of
UAD Powered Plug-Ins used serially (stacked one above another in series) on
the send/group/bus that the track is assigned to, NOT the total number of
UAD Powered Plug-Ins used.
Samples
parameter
The Samples parameter shifts the audio with single-sample accuracy in either
direction. It is provided mainly for compensation of the Pultec EQ (“Compen-
sating for Pultec EQ” on page 51 for more information). However, it can be
used anytime minute shifting of audio is desired. Audio can be shifted up to
128 samples in either direction.
Note: The keyboard shortcuts PageUp/PageDown and Shift+Arrow auto-
matically add the 13-sample Pultec value for your convenience.
TrackAdv Examples
Insert Situation: You have one track with MIDI and one track with audio. You put a
UAD plugin on the audio track. Result: All tracks are perfectly aligned.
Solution: None needed. Delay compensation on track inserts is handled au-
tomatically by most host applications.
Send Situation: You have a song with drums and guitar on audio tracks, and a MIDI
bass line. You want a cohesive room reverb on the audio tracks so you send
them to the UAD RealVerb Pro via an effect send. Result: The RealVerb Pro ef-
fect return plays late in relation to the MIDI track.
Solution: Put a TrackAdv plugin on the track insert of the audio tracks with a
Plugs value of 1. If you had an 1176LN and a RealVerb Pro on the send re-
turn, the TrackAdv Plugs value would be 2. Keep the Sample value at zero.
