Signal This 4-stage “LED” indicates the presence of audio signals at the
input of the plug-in. When the input signal is below –25 dB, the
indicator is off. At –25 dB to –19 dB, the indicator glows slightly.
At –18 dB to –10 dB, it lights with medium intensity. At –9 dB to
0 dB, it shines brightly.
Overload The Overload “LED” illuminates when the signal level at the out-
put of the plug-in reaches 0 dBFS. The indicator matches the be-
havior of the original hardware unit. However, in the software
plug-in version, the output can be “overloaded” without causing
distortion.
Link Link indicates when stereo operation is active. It illuminates when
used in a stereo-in/stereo-out or mono-in/stereo out configuration.
It does not illuminate when used in a mono-in/mono-out configu-
ration.
Note: Link is an indicator only; it does not control any plug-in parameter.
On/Power The On and Power switches determine whether the plug-in is ac-
tive. Click the On or Power switches to change the state. On and
Power illuminate when the plug-in is active.
When the plug-in is inactive, processing is disabled and UAD DSP
usage is reduced (unless “UAD-2 DSP LoadLock” on page 74 is
enabled).
Note: The On and Power switches perform the exact same function.
