UAD Powered Plug-Ins Manual v5.2 - Just Music

UAD Meter Elements
Refer to Figure 7 on page 55 for these element descriptions.
Title Bar
Disable Current
The title bar at the top of the UAD Meter window contains buttons to quit the
UAD Meter & Control panel application and minimize the UAD Meter window,
and a drop-menu to access the Control Panel window functions.
The Disable Current button disables all UAD Powered Plug-Ins
that are currently running. This enables you to add new UAD
plug-ins for offline processing, or easily compare the sound of
the processed and unprocessed audio.
When the button glows blue, UAD plug-ins are active. Click
the button to disable the active plug-ins; the button changes to
black with blue lettering. New UAD plug-ins can then be
added. Click the button again to re-activate all UAD plug-ins.
Note: Disable Current stays active only while the UAD Meter & Control Panel
application is open. When the UAD Meter & Control Panel is quit, Disable
Current is deactivated.
Resource
Gauges
The UAD resource loads are displayed in the UAD Meter window, which are
constantly updated in realtime even when the UAD Meter is not the foreground
application. This allows you to monitor UAD loads as needed, for example
when deciding which UAD plug-ins to load, based upon how much
DSP is available.
The UAD resources are displayed as bar graphs and as percentages.
Averaged Loads
The load for each gauge represents the average for each card type. For example,
if one UAD-2 Quad is installed, the UAD-2 DSP load is an average of
the four DSP processors on the Quad. If two UAD-2 Quads are installed, then
the eight processors are averaged. Similarly, if multiple UAD-1 cards are installed,
then the UAD-1 loads represent the average of all UAD-1 cards.
Individual Loads
The loads of individual cards in a multicard setup (or the individual DSP loads
in a multi-DSP UAD-2 card) can be viewed in the UAD System Information
panel (see page 59).
