Supported Hosts
UAD Powered Plug-Ins, when combined with a plug-in host application, is a
technically complex system with many variables. Because the host application
environment is integral to the system but is completely out of our control, we
cannot claim compatibility with all hosts that may claim to support the use of
VST, RTAS, and/or Audio Units plug-ins.
We test the specific host applications listed in Table 1 on page 17 below for
compatibility with UAD Powered Plug-Ins. We recommend the latest versions
of these host applications for optimum performance. Host applications that
are not listed may work with UAD Powered Plug-ins, but compatibility with
them cannot be guaranteed.
