Chapter 6: UAD Meter & Control Panel

When a UAD plug-in is loaded on UAD-2 Satellite by the host software, the
Plug-In Calculator is automatically adjusted, using the session sample rate,

Current Link Speed

, and

UAD Bandwidth Allocation

values.

Max Stereo Plug-Ins

The maximum number of stereo UAD plug-ins that can run on UAD-2 Satellite,
based upon the

FireWire System

settings and a given session sample rate, is

displayed here. The number changes if/when the

Target Link Speed

,

UAD

Bandwidth Allocation

, or

“At the following sample rate”

parameters are mod-

ified.

The UAD instantiation count at the current settings could exceed this number
If used in true mono configurations. Note that some host software uses stereo
plug-in processing even when used on a mono track.

At the following sample rate

This parameter selects the sample rate used by the Plug-In Calculator. To
change the value, click the down arrow to display the drop menu, then select
the desired value.

When a UAD-2 Satellite plug-in is loaded by the host software, the session
sample rate is entered automatically. In this scenario, the parameter cannot
be modified until the host is quit.

Note:

The “At the following sample rate” parameter is only used by the

Plug-in Calculator; it does not affect the actual sample rate of the UAD system
or the host software.

Bandwidth

Metering

Bandwidth Metering pertains to the FireWire bus that the UAD-2 Satellite is at-
tached to. The items displayed in this area are for informational purposes
only; there are no settings here that can be changed.

If the host computer has multiple FireWire buses (this is rare), up to two band-
width gauges will be displayed, one for each bus.

Used by UAD

This number displays the percentage of FireWire bus bandwidth that is used
by UAD plug-ins running on the UAD-2 Satellite. The number cannot exceed
the value set by the

UAD Bandwidth Allocation

parameter.
