UAD Powered Plug-Ins Manual - 492 - Chapter 50: UA 1176 Classic Limiter Collection
VU Meter This is a standard VU meter that displays either the amount of gain reduction,
or output level, depending upon the setting of the Meter Function switch.
Meter Function These four pushbutton switches (to the right of the VU Meter) determine the
mode of the VU Meter, and whether the plug-in is enabled. When set to GR,
the VU Meter indicates the Gain Reduction level in dB. When set to +8 or +4,
the VU Meter indicates the output level in dB; when set to +4, a meter reading
of 0 corresponds to an output level of +4 dB.
When the Meter Function is set to GR mode and multiple Ratio buttons are en-
gaged, the Meter will appear to behave strangely. This is normal behavior in
the 1176 hardware, and is faithfully recreated in the plug-in.
When the OFF switch is engaged, the plug-in is disabled and UAD DSP usage
is reduced (unless UAD-2 LoadLock is enabled).
