Arrow Manual UAD Meter & Control Panel 198
Individual Loads
When additional UAD devices are added to the system, individual DSP loads within a
individual units can be viewed in the System Information panel.
UAD Plug-In Loads
The amount of UAD resources used by UAD plug-ins vary with each individual plug-in;
more complex algorithms require more resources.
UAD Instance Chart
The amount of DSP used by each individual UAD plug-in is available in the UAD
instance count chart. The chart can help determine which to plug-ins to use with
available resources. The chart is published online at help.uaudio.com.
Static Loads
Arrow uses UAD DSP and memory for its internal digital mixer and Input Delay
Compensation engine. Therefore, the meters will indicate loads when Arrow is connected,
even if UAD plug-ins are not inserted in Console or the DAW.
Note: Console’s Input Delay Compensation can be disabled in Console Settings to
slightly reduce UAD loads when IDC is not needed.
DSP
The DSP gauge indicates the amount of digital signal processing resources that are being
used by all UAD devices in the system.
DSP is the primary hardware resource that powers the UAD plug-In algorithms. When
UAD plug-ins are disabled, DSP requirements are decreased.
Note: When UAD plug-ins are disabled, DSP requirements are decreased EXCEPT
when the plug-in is disabled using the soft bypass control within the plug-in
interface. This control may be named bypass or power, depending on the plug-in.
Program
The Program (PGM) gauge indicates how much UAD program memory is in use. Program
memory is an on-chip memory that is specific to the UAD-2 DSP processor and is used
for certain UAD plug-in resources.
Each unique UAD plug-in uses a bit of program memory. If many different UAD plug-ins
are loaded simultaneously, it is possible for this resource to run out before a DSP
overload occurs. This threshold is considered and factored in by the automatic UAD load
balancing routines.
