The Configuration Panel is where most of the global UAD settings and preferences are
specified for all UAD devices. Refer to the screenshot below for descriptions in this

UAD-2 DSP
Overview
Without UAD plug‑ins, overloading the host computer system with native (host CPU
based) plug‑ins can cause audio dropouts and other system issues. Some DAWs, for
example, provide a switch that allows you to trade latency for stability when the system
is overloaded. Similarly, the UAD DSP load cannot exceed 100% without unpredictable
behavior.
With the Limit DSP Load feature, the UAD DSP can also be limited so the load cannot
exceed 100%, thereby increasing overall system stability in high load situations. With
very heavy UAD loads, DSP load limiting may also improve host CPU performance.
