Apollo Solo Manual Using UAD Plug-Ins 220
Mono (m) UAD plug-ins
UAD VST plug-ins with “(m)” in the name are monophonic versions of the plug-in for use
within VST-based DAWs.
Standard UAD VST plug-ins (which support both stereo and mono configurations) do not
consume additional UAD DSP on mono sources when loaded in DAWs that use true-mono
processing (for example, Apple Logic Pro, Avid Pro Tools, and Steinberg Cubase).
Some DAWs (for example, Ableton Live and Cakewalk Sonar) do not use true-mono
processing on mono signals. In these DAWs, using the mono (m) versions may conserve
UAD DSP when used on mono sources.
Note: Apollo Solo’s Console always uses true-mono processing, therefore Mono (m)
UAD plug-ins are not available within Console.
UAD mono (m) plug-ins are not available in Audio Units or AAX 64 format. All major AU
and AAX 64 DAWs (e.g., Apple Logic Pro, Avid Pro Tools) support true-mono processing.
Note: Some UAD plug-ins do not consume less DSP even when used in a true-
mono configuration. For details about mono vs. stereo DSP use, see the UAD
Instance Count Chart.
