Chapter 5: Using Multiple UAD Devices
Device Info Display
UAD DSP and memory re-
sources used for each in-
stalled device, and the ability
to enable/disable individual
devices, is displayed in the
System Information window.
See
plete details.
Disabling Devices
Individual UAD devices can be disabled using the Device Enabled
function (see
). This can be useful, for example, if creating a
session on a system with multiple devices that will be transferred to a
system with fewer devices.
Devices are disabled only while the UAD Meter & Control Panel application
is open. When the UAD Meter & Control Panel is quit, disabled devices are
re-enabled.
Note:
For optimum results, quit any applications using UAD plug-ins before
disabling/enabling devices.
If a UAD Powered Plug-In is loaded on a device then that device is subse-
quently disabled, an error message will be displayed. This occurs because a
plug-in is assigned to a device when it is first instantiated. It stays assigned to
the same device until it is de-instantiated (for example, removed from the in-
sert slot).
Host CPU
Using more than one device can cause a slight increase in host CPU require-
ments, so disabling unused devices can help you squeeze in a bit more host
performance if you need it. Using additional devices on the PCI bus requires
host resources, so running 15 UAD plug-ins on three devices at five plug-ins
per device may require more host CPU than running the same 15 UAD
plug-ins on one device.
