4. OS X / macOS Control Panel
This chapter describes the UGM192 Control Panel and its functions on the Mac. Under OS X /
macOS, you can find an UGM192 icon in the
Applications
folder. Double click on this to launch the
control panel software and the following dialog will appear:
The
File
menu provides an option called
Always on Top
that makes sure the Control Panel stays
visible even when working in other software and you can launch the
macOS Audio Settings
there.
The
Config
menu allows you to load the
Factory Defaults
for the panel parameters and the
Help
>
About
entry shows current version information. The main dialog has two sections:
OUTPUT
This section contains volume control sliders and signal level meters for the two playback channels.
Under it there is button that allows you to
MUTE
playback and there are playback level values
displayed for each channel in dB.
To control both left and right channels simultaneously (stereo), you need to move the mouse pointer
in the middle between the two faders. Click directly on each fader to change channels independently.
SAMPLERATE
This section shows the currently selected sample rate which you can also change (as long as no audio
is being played back or recorded) by clicking on it. As UGM192 is a digital audio interface, all
applications and audio data will be processed with the same sample rate at a given time. The hardware
natively supports rates between 44.1 kHz and 192 kHz.
4.1 Latency and buffer settings
Unlike under Windows, on OS X / macOS, the latency setting is depending on the audio application
(i.e. DAW) and usually setup there inside the audio settings of that software and not in our control
panel software. If you are unsure, check the manual of the audio software you are using.
