UAD Powered Plug-Ins Manual - 60 - Chapter 6: UAD Meter & Control Panel
UAD-2
The displayed latency is the audio I/O interface buffer size when Extra Buff-
ering (page 67) is off. When Extra Buffering is on, the displayed latency is the
audio I/O interface buffer size plus 64 samples.
UAD-1
The displayed latency is twice the audio I/O interface buffer size.
Note: The displayed sample latency number does not include the extra sam-
ples produced by upsampled UAD plug-ins. For more detailed information
about the extra samples and latency, see “Compensating Upsampled
Plug-Ins” on page 95.
Hardware
Section
Detailed information about each UAD card and its DSP is displayed in the
Hardware area (Figure 10 on page 59). If you have several cards installed,
use the scrollbar to see the other cards.
Card Status For each installed card type (UAD-2 and UAD-1), a small picture of the hard-
ware and its status is displayed. When the card displays Status: OK the hard-
ware is operating properly. The total number of UAD plug-ins loaded on each
card is also displayed here.
Card Enabled Individual UAD cards can be disabled using the Card Enabled button.
This can be useful, for example, if creating a session on a system with
multiple cards that will be transferred to a system with fewer cards, to
streamline the performance of the host system when multiple cards are not
needed, or to manually balance loads on UAD-1-only multicard systems.
Click the button to disable an individual card. The card is enabled
when the button is blue. For additional information regarding multi-
card use, see Chapter 5, “Using Multiple UAD Cards.”
Cards remain disabled only while the UAD Meter & Control Panel application
is open. When the UAD Meter & Control Panel is quit, disabled cards are
re-enabled.
Note: Disabling cards does not disable plug-ins already running on the card;
it only prevents additional plug-ins from being loaded onto it.
Important: For optimum results, quit any host applications using UAD
plug-ins before disabling/enabling cards.
