Hey guys, got a hot tip from UA tech support yesterday. Apparently they found a workaround for the infamous Logic problem, where you can't use UAD-1 plugs on tracks in "live" mode. The solution is to actually force *all* UAD-1 plugins to get called in "live" mode (the problem before was having UAD-1 plugs getting called in both live and non-live modes). To do this: - On every track that you want to put a UAD-1 plugin on it, add an I/O helper plugin (the plugin Logic->Helper->I/O). It shouldn't matter which plugin slot it is in. - For the Output and Input parameters of the I/O plugin editor, select a valid channel (not "---", which is the default). - Now, *disable* the I/O plugin (option-click it on the channel). It appears that even if the I/O plugin is disabled, it still forces plugs on that track to get called in "live" mode. This is important because it means having the I/O plugin there should not actually have any other affect on the track. They said they were still testing this out but that it was working so far. I tried it in my projects and it seems to work fine. Woohoo! They also said they are working with Emagic to make this process automatic, but in the meantime this workaround seems to do the trick. Another possible use for this trick is to force certain plugs to run on the main processor when in MP mode. In MP mode, usually the plugins run on the second processor. However, plugs on "live mode" tracks run on the first processor, so you can also use this trick with your native plugs to get even more processing happening in MP mode. -- My home and Logic Tips: http://www.tazmusic.com "Reet too tee too tee too tee too tee too teeeeeee" Frank Zappa "All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them." - Walt Disney (1901-1966)

I just reread your mail on maybe I don´t understand what you refer to as "live" mode. I thought you referred to a almost zero latancy mode but maybe you´re not. Henrik Krogh henrikkrogh@...

It doesn´t seem to work on PC, I just tried it and I couldn´t really tell a difference. I do however intend to crossgrade in the future so even if it´s only solved on Mac it´s still better than nothing. Henrik Krogh henrikkrogh@...

I tried it with audio instruments using DTDM and so far it works.. Nice to be able to spread the processing power manually. Too bad I sold my UAD-1 when the MP driver didn't work with Logic ! ( I fought with the Powercore MP driver in Logic for a long time before TC fixed the problem and I didn't want to wait for UA to sort it out ) Thanks! Danny
