Windows<br />

On Windows systems, the default preset location is inside the Presets directory,<br />

which is created within the directory selected during software installation.<br />

For example, if the default location was specified when running the <strong>UAD</strong><br />

<strong>Powered</strong> <strong>Plug</strong>-<strong>Ins</strong> <strong>Ins</strong>taller, the location would be:<br />

C:\Program Files\Universal Audio\<strong>Powered</strong> <strong>Plug</strong>ins\Presets<br />

This default location can be changed during installation; the new location will<br />

be remembered as the default.<br />

Macintosh<br />

Using Host<br />

Application<br />

Management<br />

On OS X systems the default preset location is:<br />

Library:Application Support:Universal Audio:Presets<br />

Most host applications include their own method of managing plug-in presets.<br />

For example, the currently selected preset is saved in Cubase/Nuendo when<br />

“Save Effect” is used. The solo/mute buttons (wet, dry, input) are not saved.<br />

All presets and programs are saved when “Save Bank” is used in the host.<br />

They are also saved in the session file for each instance of the plug-in.<br />

Editing the name modifies the current preset's name. The new name will appear<br />

in all preset selection lists and will be saved with the session, bank, or<br />

effect.<br />

Spatial Characteristics<br />

Size<br />

The apparent size of a reverberant space is dependent on many factors. Most<br />

reverbs on the market have a “size” parameter, which usually modifies several<br />

facets of the reverb algorithm at once. You may notice DreamVerb does<br />

not have a “size” parameter. <strong>Ins</strong>tead, the elements that control the reverberant<br />

space are available to the user.<br />

In DreamVerb, room size is determined by the interaction between all the parameters<br />

in the Reflections and Reverberation panels. To get a larger-sounding<br />

space, increase the T60 (reverberation time), use proportionally more air,<br />

increase the pre-delays, and slightly shift the Resonance transition frequencies<br />

to lower values.<br />

Pre-Delay<br />

Intimacy and remoteness are largely controlled by the pre-delays. Generally<br />

speaking, use shorter pre-delays for more intimate spaces. Clear spaces have<br />

most of their energy in the first eighty milliseconds or so; muddy spaces have<br />

a lot of late arriving energy.<br />
