UAD-2 DSP
LoadLock
DSP LoadLock (UAD-2 only) reserves the maximum
UAD-2 DSP load required by each plug-in, even if certain
plug-in features are disabled. This ensures there will always be enough
DSP if those features are later enabled, or when automating parameters that
affect the DSP load.
Disabling LoadLock increases available UAD-2 DSP by turning off unused features
in certain plug-ins, but may cause problems with previously saved sessions
that had all plug-in features enabled, or when automating parameters
that affect the DSP load.
Enabling DSP LoadLock is recommended for optimum performance. Disable
LoadLock when you need to squeeze in that extra bit of DSP resources.
UAD-2 Extra
Buffering
Extra Buffering adds an additional 64 samples of buffering
for increased host application compatibility. Applications
that are known to require Extra Buffering include Sony Vegas,
Acid, and Soundforge, and Sonar Cakewalk.
In other hosts, you can disable this mode to reduce latency. If your application
is incompatible with reduced latency when Extra Buffering is off, a dialog will
be displayed indicating that Extra Buffering is required.
UAD-1 PCI
MIN_GNT
Settings in this area apply to the UAD-1 card only. If no UAD-1 card(s) are installed,
these settings are not displayed.
MIN_GNT is a low-level system setting that affects PCI bandwidth. If you are
experiencing crackles or dropouts, our technical support team may recommend
a different value. Clicking the Reset button sets the value to 64, which
is recommended for most systems.
Important: System performance can be adversely affected by changing this
value. MIN_GNT does NOT affect audio latency in any way!
AMD-8131
Mode
If your computer uses the AMD-8131 PCI controller chipset, check the
“AMD-8131 Compatible” box. This will improve UAD performance on these
systems. For the new setting to take affect, you must reset the audio interface
using one of the following methods:
•Close the re-open the session
•Stop then restart the audio engine
•Modify or reset the audio device settings
