Chapter 5: UAD Meter & Control Panel 

125

UAD Control Panels

The UAD Control Panel is where detailed system information is displayed and global UAD 
Powered Plug-Ins settings are modified. The UAD Control panel has four panels, orga-
nized into similar areas of functionality: System Information, Plug-Ins, Configuration, and 
Help & Support.

Note: Some controls and/or displays in the UAD Control Panels do not apply with 
Realtime Rack and can be ignored. They are used with Universal Audio UAD-2 
devices, which also use the UAD Meter & Control Panel application. All exceptions 
are noted.

Accessing the Control Panels

Drop Menu
The main UAD Control Panel window is accessed 
from the UAD Meter window. To open the Control 
Panel, click the menu button in the UAD Meter 
window Title Bar. After clicking the menu button, 
the control panels are listed in the drop menu.
Title Buttons
Once the main UAD Control Panel window is open, 
the individual window panels are accessed by clicking their respective panel title but-
tons.

The Control Panel window panel buttons

System Information Panel

The System Information panel (

page 126

) displays detailed UAD software and hardware 

information and contains several useful buttons.

Software Section

Version String
The currently installed Realtime Rack software version is displayed.

Important: 

The driver and plug-in versions must match. If they don’t, a “driver 

mismatch” error will occur when attempting to process audio. If this occurs, you 
must reinstall and reauthorize the Realtime Rack software.
