Via other tabs, it's also possible to deliberately limit DSP load on your card, check your card's status and, most crucially, see how the card is performing via its own DSP meters. So if you want to spread the load, you can.

It shows you a full list of your plug-ins, and enables you to choose which of these you'd like to run from which of your cards. Once you're fully installed and crossgraded, the new UAD Control Panel comes into its own. However, remember that you don't have to crossgrade - as long as you're happy to run your existing suite of plug-ins via your UAD-1 card.

For loyal owners of existing hardware who have invested in the UAD system, but who can't or don't want to update in the next three months, that's going to sting a little. The bad news is that, while crossgrading is currently free, from January 1 2009, it will cost you $25 per plug-in (up to a maximum of $250) to switch your plug-ins from UAD-1 to UAD-2. This takes a few minutes but, in due course, provides you with a brand new authorisation code which successfully completes the crossgrade process when it's dragged to the UAD Control Panel. Via the Plug-Ins drop-down menu, you can jump to the UA website via the Authorize Plug-In's button and, from here, you can crossgrade your plug-ins for use with the UAD-2 hardware. Those you do own will require a new authorisation file in order to work with UAD-2, so there's a slightly heart-stopping moment when, at first boot, you see the full list of your plug-ins with 'Activate Demo' prompts next to them. Version 5 of the software dramatically updates the appearance of UA's Meter and Control Panel, the trusty application which enables authorisation and configuration of the available plug-ins. This flashes between red and green during power-up before settling on green once your machine has booted. The Quad card features four pristine SHARC processors and an LED on the 'visible' panel at your computer's rear.

Install is much as it was with UAD-1: load up the new software, power down, open your computer up and fit in the card. These plug-ins will continue to work, despite the install of software Version 5, via your UAD-1 card, and the porting process to make these available for UAD-2 isn't expected to take too long. Specifically, we're talking about four plug-ins from the Precision range (Maximiser, De-Esser, Buss Compressor and Enhancer kHz), as well as the Roland RE-201, the SPL Transient Designer and the VCA VU Compressor. This is because seven of the existing UAD plug-ins are not yet UAD-2 compatible. It should also be said that you are perfectly able to run a UAD-2 card alongside a UAD-1 card and, if you own a moderately-well or completely stocked UAD-1, you'd be advised to do precisely this at the moment.
