UAD Powered Plug-Ins Manual - 76 - Chapter 7: Using UAD Powered Plug-Ins
Windows The default preset location is inside the Presets folder, which is created within
the folder specified during software installation. For example, if the default lo-
cation was selected when running the installer, the location would be:
• C:\Program Files\Universal Audio\Powered Plugins\Presets
Note: This default location can be changed during installation; the new lo-
cation will be remembered as the default.
Macintosh On Mac OS X systems, the default preset location is:
• Startup Disk/Library/Application Support/Universal Audio/Presets
Copy/Paste
Settings
Settings can copied and pasted directly between
UAD plug-ins (within the compatibility guidelines)
without using the interim step of creating a preset
file.
To copy/paste settings between UAD plug-ins, select Copy Settings from the
drop-menu of the source plug-in, then select Paste Settings from the drop-menu
of the destination plug-in.
Note: If the menu displays “Cannot Paste Settings” then settings were not
copied first, or the paste destination is an incompatible plug-in.
LiveTrack Mode
Overview LiveTrack Mode reduces latency on an active UAD-2 plug-in to the
lowest possible amount. This feature is highly useful for monitoring
processed audio when recording live performances.
Note: Due to differing architectures, this mode is not available with UAD-1.
Reduced latency in LiveTrack Mode is accomplished by circumventing the
standard buffering processes. Normally, UAD-2 signal data is buffered at the
audio interface I/O sample buffer size (such as 128, 512, or 1024 samples)
which results in a processing delay.
In LiveTrack Mode, UAD-2 signal data is transferred and processed “immedi-
ately” instead of being buffered, resulting in reduced latency.
