UAD Powered Plug-Ins Manual - 55 - Chapter 5: Using Multiple UAD Devices
CHAPTER 5
Using Multiple UAD Devices
Overview
Multiple UAD devices can be used in a single host computer system for in-
creased DSP capacity. The UAD devices in the multidevice system can be
mixed and/or matched in any combination (see “The UAD Hardware” on
page 38).
When multiple UAD devices are installed in the host computer, the DSP and
memory load of the devices are automatically balanced dynamically as UAD
plug-ins are loaded and unloaded. With multiple devices, there is no major
difference in operating procedures, except that more Powered Plug-Ins can be
loaded simultaneously in the session.
Mixed UAD
System
The UAD drivers support up to four UAD-2 and four UAD-1 devices running in
the same host computer system concurrently. The devices can be any combi-
nation of UAD-2 family and/or UAD-1 family devices, up to four of each, for
a total of up to eight UAD devices in one computer.
See “If a UAD Powered Plug-In is loaded on a device then that device is sub-
sequently 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-
ser
t slot).” on page 59 for additional details if combining these device types.
Plug-In License Policy
The Universal Audio End-User License Agreement (“EULA”) on page 3 grants
you the non-exclusive right to use UAD Powered Plug-Ins on a single computer
at a single location.
Since you can run up to four of each device type (UAD-2 and UAD-1) in the
same computer, each individual UAD plug-in license will authorize all the de-
vices in one computer (up to eight devices, four of each type).
