UAD Powered Plug-Ins Manual - 307 - Chapter 36: SPL Transient Designer
Signal This 4-stage “LED” indicates the presence of audio signals at the
input of the plug-in. When the input signal is below -25dB, the in-
dicator is off. At -25dB to -19dB, the indicator glows slightly. At -
18dB to -10dB, it lights with medium intensity. At -9dB to 0dB, it
shines brightly.
Overload The Overload “LED” illuminates when the signal level at the out-
put of the plug-in reaches 0dBFS. The indicator matches the be-
havior of the original hardware unit. However, in the software
plug-in version, the output can be “overloaded” without causing
distortion.
Link Link indicates when stereo operation is active. It illuminates when
used in a stereo-in/stereo-out or mono-in/stereo out configuration.
It does not illuminate when used in a mono-in/mono-out configu-
ration.
Note: Link is an indicator only; it does not control any plug-in parameter.
On/Power The On and Power switches determine whether the plug-in is ac-
tive. Click the On or Power switches to change the state. On and
Power illuminate when the plug-in is active.
When the plug-in is inactive, processing is disabled and UAD DSP
usage is reduced.
Note: The On and Power switches perform the exact same function.
