UAD Powered Plug-Ins Manual - 546 - Chapter 55: Studer A800
Ganged
Operation
The UAD Studer A800 implements a control ganging feature that allows easy
simultaneous parameter modification for all instances of the plug-in. The fea-
ture enables the DAW to emulate the multitrack tape deck scenario more ac-
curately, where a single change to some multitrack machine parameters (such
as tape speed, formula, and calibration settings) would affect all tape chan-
nels. See
“Gang Controls” on page 551 for details.
Mono/Stereo
Operation
The UAD Studer A800 is designed with a single-channel interface, to emulate
the individual channels of a multitrack tape recorder. However, when the
plug-in is used on a stereo track, the “mono” controls affect both channels of
the stereo signal identically.
Primary Controls
Path Select
The Path Select buttons specify which of
the four possible signal paths is active
in the A800. The active mode is indi-
cated by an illuminated button.
Thru
Thru is a bypass control. When enabled, emulation processing is disabled
and DSP usage is reduced. Thru is useful for comparing the processed settings
to the original signal. Thru is identical to the OFF position in the IPS control
(
page 548 ).
Note: DSP usage is reduced only when DSP LoadLock ( page 74 ) is disabled.
If DSP LoadLock is enabled (the default setting), activating Thru will not reduce
DSP usage.
Input
Input mode emulates the sound of the A800 through the machine electronics
only, without tape sonics. This is the scenario when the machine is in live mon-
itoring mode but the tape transport is not running.
Sync
Sync mode models the sound of direct recording and playback via the
sync/record head, plus all corresponding machine electronics.
