Required System Settings
Set the Battery and Power Adapter tabs in the Energy Save pane to use these settings:
Disable Display Sleep – Set display sleep to "Never" by dragging the "Turn display off
after" slider to the far right position.
Although display sleep is benign to the system, disabling display sleep is recommended
to prevent the issuing of inadvertent mouse/keyboard clicks that could send potentially
destructive commands to the UAD‑2 Live Rack software.
Disable Computer Sleep – In the Power Adapter tab, enable the "Prevent computer from
sleeping automatically when the display is off" option.
Disable Hard Disk Sleep – In the Power Adapter tab, disable the "Put hard disks to sleep
when possible" option to ensure consistent computer performance.
Enable Wake for network access – In the Power Adapter tab, enable the "Wake for
network access" option.
Soundcraft Vi Series consoles require "Wake for network access" to be enabled in macOS
in order to prevent losing the communication link between the Mac running Live Rack
software and the Soundcraft Vi console if/when the Mac enters Sleep mode.
Important:
If "Wake for network access" is disabled and the computer enters
System Sleep (either intentionally or unintentionally), the Mac will require a
system restart or a disconnect/reconnect of the Thunderbolt cable to recover after
waking from sleep
