UAD Powered Plug-Ins Manual - 23 - Chapter 2: UAD Installation
UAD Software Installation
Install Software First
If you are installing UAD Powered Plug-Ins for the first time, install the software
before installing the UAD card(s). This is particularly important on Windows
systems. If you are updating the software or installing additional UAD cards,
it is not necessary to remove the previous UAD software or hardware from the
system, but you should still install the newer software before adding new
cards.
Note: The UAD Powered Plug-Ins software installer is identical for all UAD
hardware (there are only two UAD installers, one each for Win & Mac).
Win & Mac Software installation and removal for Windows and Macintosh platforms
have their own particular procedures; each are described below.
Important: Close all open files and applications before starting the instal-
lation procedure. Specifically, make sure the UAD Meter & Control Panel and
all host applications using UAD Powered Plug-Ins are not running.
