UAD Powered Plug-Ins Manual - 74 - Chapter 6: UAD Meter & Control Panel
UAD-2 DSP
LoadLock
DSP LoadLock (UAD-2 only) reserves the maximum
UAD-2 DSP load required by each plug-in, even if cer-
tain plug-in features are disabled. This ensures there will always be enough
DSP if those features are later enabled, or when automating parameters that
affect the DSP load.
Disabling LoadLock increases available UAD-2 DSP by turning off unused fea-
tures in certain plug-ins, but may cause problems with previously saved ses-
sions that had all plug-in features enabled, or when automating parameters
that affect the DSP load.
Enabling DSP LoadLock is recommended for optimum performance. Disable
LoadLock when you need to squeeze in that extra bit of DSP resources.
Note: Changes to this setting do not take effect until all open sessions con-
taining UAD plug-ins are reloaded.
UAD-2 Extra
Buffering
Extra Buffering adds an additional 64 samples of buff-
ering for increased host application compatibility. Ap-
plications that are known to require Extra Buffering include Sony Vegas,
Acid, and Soundforge, and Sonar Cakewalk.
In other hosts, you can disable this mode to reduce latency. If your application
is incompatible with reduced latency when Extra Buffering is off, a dialog will
be displayed indicating that Extra Buffering is required.
Note: Changes to this setting do not take effect until all open sessions con-
taining UAD plug-ins are reloaded.
UAD-1 PCI Settings in this area apply to UAD-1 devices only. If no UAD-1 device(s) are
installed, these settings are not displayed.
MIN_GNT MIN_GNT is a low-level system setting that affects PCI bandwidth. If you are
experiencing crackles or dropouts, our technical support team may recom-
mend a different value. Clicking the Reset button sets the value to 64, which
is recommended for most systems.
Important: System performance can be adversely affected by changing this
value. MIN_GNT does NOT affect audio latency in any way!
