UAD Powered Plug-Ins Manual - 14 - Chapter 1: Introduction
The UAD-2 also introduces version 5.0 of the UAD software, which includes
major driver enhancements and an all-new unified UAD Meter & Control
Panel for UAD-1 and UAD-2. Version 5.0 features multicore-aware drivers,
LiveTrack™ for low-latency tracking and monitoring through UAD-2 plug-ins,
and L.O.D.E.™ [Live Optimizing DSP Engine], which dynamically balances
the load on the UAD-2. The new UAD Meter & Control Panel offers improved
status monitoring, easy Quick-Click Plug Purchasing, Help and Support re-
sources, Software Updates, and improved rollover help. There’s also a new
streamlined web shopping experience via a completely re-designed UA web-
site with integrated audio and video demo’s, tutorials, in-depth webzine arti-
cles, FAQ’s and enhanced support so you can really get the most out of your
UAD-2.
Developing the UAD-2 as well as Universal Audio’s entire line of quality au-
dio products designed to meet the needs of the modern recording studio while
retaining the character of classic vintage equipment—has been a very special
experience for me and for all who have been involved. We hope that you will
enjoy using your UAD-2 and Powered Plug-Ins as much as we do.
Thanks for your support of Universal Audio.
Sincerely,
Bill Putnam, Jr.
