UAD Powered Plug-Ins Manual - 65 - Using UAD Powered Plug-Ins
Host CPU Using more than one card can cause a slight increase in host CPU require-
ments, so disabling unused cards can help you squeeze in a bit more host per-
formance if you need it. Using additional devices on the PCI bus requires host
resources, so running 15 UAD plugins on three cards at five plugins per card
may require more host CPU than running the same 15 UAD plugins on one
card.
For example, if you are trying to minimize latency during tracking by using a
smaller buffer size (which will increase host CPU) and need a bit more host
CPU, disabling one or more UAD cards during tracking may give the extra
pinch of host CPU you need. The buffer size can then be increased and the
UAD card(s) re-enabled for mixing.
Optional Plug-Ins
Overview The UAD Powered Plug-Ins software installation bundles always includes ev-
ery component that is part of the current software version, such as drivers, plu-
gins, UAD Meter application, and documentation. Version 4.3 includes 12
optional copy-protected plugins that can be authorized for an additional fee.
DreamVerb, Plate 140, Cambridge, Fairchild, Pultec-Pro, Precision Limiter,
Precision Equalizer, Precision Multiband, Roland CE-1, Roland Dimension D,
Roland RE-201, Neve 1073/1073SE, and Neve 1081/1081SE (also UAD
1176LN and UAD LA-2A with Project PAK) require authorization for unlimited
use. Without authorization, these plugins can be enabled to run for 14 days
without functional limitations in a timed demo mode (see “Demo Mode” on
page 71).
UAD PAK The UAD cards are available in a variety of retail packages. The UAD-1 card
comes with the Ultra PAK, Studio PAK, and Project PAK. The UAD-1e card
comes with the Expert PAK and Express PAK.
The difference between each PAK (besides the UAD card itself) is the selection
of plugins that are included. Each PAK has either a set of included plugins, or
a voucher system that you use to specify the specific plugins you want. For a
list of specific plugins or vouchers that are included with each PAK, please

To authorize the PAK plugins or redeem the voucher, create your account at
my.uaudio.com. Ultra PAK and Studio PAK licenses are issued automatically
and can be downloaded after entering your hardware identification num-
ber(s) into your my.uaudio.com account.
