UAD Plugins Show As Disabled When I Open An Existing Session - A QUICK FIX

Read Full Article: https://www.audioanimals.co.uk/news/q...

I see this question asked on UAD forums and Facebook groups week in week out. There is a simple fix and few reasons why it happens. All reasons are preventable and caused by the way you organised you session. In this article I am going to easily highlight the reasons why you are having the disabled plugins error appear and how to fix it.

PROBLEM 1. The most common reason for plugins disabling is due to plugin management and the way they were previously organised on the chips in the previous session. UAD try to distribute plugins across the chips in the best possible way as you load them into your session. However when you open an existing session you will notice that channel 1 in your session is loaded onto the chips first then channel 2 and so on. This results in the UAD plugins towards the end of the mix loading last. If these plugins are of a high DSP consumption they may fail to load.

SOLUTION 1. A simple fix for this is to organise where your channels sit in your mix. As a rule of thumb for me, I always have my reverbs at the top of the session. This meas that when I load a session my high DSP consuming plugins load onto the chips first. If you are using a Capitol Chambers reverb which consumes 74% of a DSP chip you will almost certainly get a disabled plugin notification if this plugin is at the end of your session.
