Apollo Thunderbolt Software Manual Introduction 13
For additional details about how UAD Powered Plug-Ins are used with Console and
DAWs, see About UAD Powered Plug-Ins Processing. For general UAD plug-ins operation
instructions, see the UAD System Manual. For complete details about each individual
UAD Powered Plug-In, see the UAD Plug-Ins Manual.
UAD Meter & Control Panel Application
The UAD Meter & Control Panel application is used to configure global functionality that
pertains to all UAD-2 devices in the same system (the same application is used for all
UAD-2 products). All UAD-2 global system settings are set within this application. The
application also facilitates automatic authorization of UAD plug-in licenses and UAD-2
devices.
The application consists of two components: The UAD Meter and the UAD Control
Panels.
UAD Meter
The UAD Meter window (at right) displays the
current DSP and memory status of all active UAD-2
hardware (including multiple devices). These meters
are also present at the bottom of the Console application window.
Note: Apollo uses DSP and memory for its internal DSP mixer. Therefore, the UAD
meter displays DSP and memory usage even when UAD plug-ins are not in use.
UAD Control Panels
The UAD Control Panel window has multiple panels
that display, and enable control of, the various UAD-2
system, plug-in, and global configuration parameters.
The screenshot at right shows the System Info panel,
one of four control panel windows in the UAD Meter
& Control Panel application.
Accessing UAD Meter & Control Panel
The application can be accessed from the Dock
(Mac) or Start Menu (Windows).
Details About the Application
Complete documentation for the UAD Meter &
Control Panel application is in the UAD System
Manual.
Apollo Device Drivers
The Apollo device drivers are the low-level system software files that instruct the
computer’s operating system on how to communicate with the Apollo hardware. The
drivers are loaded during system startup so whenever Apollo is connected, the interface
is ready to accept instructions from the OS and audio applications.
