What Next?

After the initial setups in this chapter are complete, Arrow is ready to be used with the
included Console application, your DAW (digital audio workstation) software, and UAD
Powered Plug-Ins. To learn how to operate Arrow, refer to the areas of functionality below.
Hardware Controls & Connectors
To learn how to use the controls on Arrow's top panel and how the front and rear
connections can be used, see Hardware Controls & Connectors.
Arrow System Overview
Reviewing the Arrow System Overview is especially recommended for those that are
unfamiliar with digital audio workstation environments.
Using Arrow's Unique Features
Arrow has unique features in addition to those of a typical audio interface. To take
advantage of Arrow's low-latency input monitoring, Realtime UAD Processing, and UAD-2
DSP accelerator features, there are some core differences in how to operate the DAW
with Arrow versus most audio interfaces.
To learn how to integrate Arrow and Console within a DAW environment and related
information, see the Working With Arrow chapter.
Console Application
The included Console application is the software interface for the Arrow hardware.
Console controls Arrow's mixing, low-latency input monitoring, and Realtime UAD
Processing features. Console is also used to configure various Arrow settings.
For an overview of Console's features and functions, see Console Overview. For complete
details about how to operate every Console function and setting, see Console Reference.
Operating UAD Plug-Ins
To learn how to load, edit, and remove UAD plug-ins within Console, see Console Plug-In
Inserts. To learn how to use UAD plug-ins within the DAW, see the DAW documentation.
The features and functions of individual UAD plug-in titles are detailed in the UAD
Plug-Ins Manual. Refer to these manuals to learn about the operation, controls, and user
interface of each individual UAD plug-in.
