Conventions
UAD Powered Plug-Ins is a cross-platform solution for both Windows and
Macintosh computers. The UAD hardware card can be installed into either
platform; it is the exact same hardware for both platforms. Operation of the
plug-ins is practically identical regardless of the host system platform and ap-
plication. However, certain platform-specific instructions will differ according
to the host system you are using.
Platforms Instructions in this guide that are platform-specific are indicated with a head-
ing in red letters. Instructions that are identical regardless of platform are not
differentiated.
Windows Instructions specific to the Windows platform use this red Windows heading.
Macintosh Instructions specific to the Mac platform use this red Macintosh heading.
