Plug-In
Calculator
The Plug-In Calculator displays the maximum number of stereo UAD plug-ins
that can be run on UAD-2 Satellite and Apollo with the current FireWire Sys-
tem settings at a given sample rate.
Note: The Plug-In Calculator is for informational purposes only; it does not
actually affect UAD FireWire or DSP performance in any way.
Max Stereo Plug-Ins
The maximum number of stereo UAD plug-ins that can run on UAD-2 Satellite
and Apollo, based upon the FireWire System settings and a given session
sample rate, is displayed here. The number changes if/when session sample
rate changes.
The UAD instantiation count at the current settings could exceed this number
If used in true mono configurations. Note that some host software uses stereo
plug-in processing even when used on a mono track.
At the following sample rate
This parameter selects the sample rate used by the Plug-In Calculator. To
change the value, click the down arrow to display the drop menu, then select
the desired value.
When a UAD plug-in is loaded by the host software, the session sample rate
is entered automatically. In this scenario, the parameter cannot be modified
until the host is quit.
Note: The “At the following sample rate” parameter is only used by the
Plug-in Calculator; it does not affect the actual sample rate of the UAD system
or the host software.
Bandwidth
Metering
Bandwidth Metering pertains to the FireWire bus that UAD-2 Satellite and
Apollo are attached to. The items displayed in this area are for informational
purposes only; there are no settings here that can be changed.
If the host computer has multiple FireWire buses (this is rare), up to two band-
width gauges will be displayed, one for each bus.
Used by UAD This number displays the percentage of FireWire bus bandwidth that is used
by UAD plug-ins running on UAD-2 Satellite and Apollo. The number cannot
exceed the value set by the UAD Bandwidth Allocation parameter.
