Mackie Digital X Bus 

UAD-1 Powered Plugins Installation Guide

Make sure you download the Windows VST version of the UAD Software…even if 

you are using a Mac to perform this download!

Windows XP Users:

The Digital X Bus does not have WinZip® or the Windows Compression Utility 

installed. Therefore, you need to extract the files on your regular PC before installing the soft-
ware into your Digital X Bus.

•  Double click on the Self Extracting file you just downloaded.

•  You will see a screen pop up shown in Figure B:

•  Select “OK” to begin the self-extraction process.

•  Once everything has been extracted from the file you downloaded, you will see the UA 

Splash Screen displayed in Figure C:

At this point, 

make sure you select “Cancel” to quit the Installer.

 Otherwise, the UAD soft-

ware will be installed on your PC and not the Digital X Bus. We’d sure hate to waste your time 
like that…
