DSP LoadLock
DSP LoadLock reserves the maximum UAD-2 DSP load required by each plug-in, even
if certain plug-in features are disabled. This ensures there will always be enough DSP
if those features are later enabled, or when automating parameters that affect the DSP
load.
Disabling LoadLock increases available UAD-2 DSP by disabling unused features in
certain plug-ins, but may cause problems with previously saved sessions that had all
plug-in features enabled, or when automating parameters that affect the DSP load.
The specific UAD plug-ins that have the ability to reduce DSP use when certain features
are disabled are listed in the UAD Instance Chart at help.uaudio.com. These plug-ins are
marked with an asterisk (*) in the chart.
Enabling DSP LoadLock is recommended for optimum performance. Disable LoadLock
only when you need to squeeze in that extra bit of DSP resources.
Note: Changes to this setting do not take effect until all open sessions containing
UAD plug-ins are reloaded.
Extra Buffering
Extra Buffering adds an additional 64 samples of buffering for increased DAW
compatibility.
Note: This setting is unrelated to UAD plug-ins used within Console.
If your DAW is incompatible with reduced latency when Extra Buffering is off, a dialog
will be displayed indicating that Extra Buffering must be enabled. If this dialog does not
appear, disable Extra Buffering to reduce latency in the DAW.
Note: Changes to this setting do not take effect until all open sessions containing
UAD plug-ins are closed.
