When To Use Console; Interactions Between Console And Arrow; Working With Arrow - Universal Audio Arrow Manual

When To Use Console

Console can be used without a DAW, simultaneously in conjunction with a DAW, or not at
all. These scenarios are covered in greater detail in
Note: Console processing is always active, even after the application is quit.
Console can be launched or quit at any time, whether or not a DAW is already
running.
Console without DAW. Console can be used by itself without the use of a DAW or
any other audio software. Using Console without a DAW provides access to all Arrow
functionality and simplifies the use of Arrow's digital mixing, monitoring, and Realtime
UAD Processing features when a DAW's recording and playback features are not needed.
Console with DAW. Console is used at the same time as a DAW when low-latency
monitoring and/or recording of Arrow's inputs with (or without) Realtime UAD Processing
is desired. In this scenario, Console is used as a front end to control input monitoring
when recording, and the DAW's software input monitoring feature is disabled. This
workflow completely eliminates the I/O buffering latencies associated with using software
monitoring via the DAW.
Important:
To eliminate doubled signals, software monitoring in the DAW must be
disabled when Console is used for input monitoring. Conversely, Console inputs
must be muted if the DAW's software monitoring feature is enabled.
UAD plug-ins can be used within Console and a DAW at the same time. In this scenario,
Arrow's DSP resources are shared between the two host applications. Realtime UAD
Processing is available via Console, and buffered (non-realtime) UAD processing is
available via VST, RTAS, AAX 64, or Audio Units plug-ins in the DAW. See

Interactions Between Console and Arrow

Console's settings mirror the Arrow hardware. Changes made to one are also made on the
other, and vice versa. If changes are made to Console when Arrow is not connected, and
then Arrow is subsequently connected, the Console settings are sent to the hardware.
