UA COMPANION

A Problem no Problem Product

I needed a software that would let me do more with my UA device, so I wrote one. UA Companion currently adds the following capabilities to your UA Device.

SHORTCUTS

Assign keyboard shortcuts to change volume, mute, toggle between set volumes, talkback button, Mute and MIC/LINE toggle for inputs and mute for aux tracks and virtual tracks.

SET DEFAULT VOLUMES

Set the primary and secondary volume levels and toggle between them using a shortcut of your choice.

SURROUND SUPPORT

Enable partial surround support for the Twin and x4- Control the additional outputs using main volume knob. See additional details in the FAQ section.

SLIDER

Take control of your volume straight from the menu bar using a volume slider that displays the current volume in dB.

MAC SYSTEM BUTTONS

Automatically remap the function keys to act as brightness, media, and volume controls, and relay the volume button to control your UA device when one is connected.

DEMO

Feel free to enjoy all of UA Companion's features for a 14 Day demo period.

F.A.Q

Assign Functions Keys as Media Keys

Normally, the dedicated volume keys will not control your UA device.
This feature will re-assign your function keys as brightness (F1-F2), media (F7-F9) and volume (F10-F12) controls for both system audio devices AND your UA device.
* Make sure to check "Use F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys." under System Preferences → Keyboard.
F11 is by default programmed to Show Desktop by the OS. Please go to System Preferences, Keyboard, Keyboard Shortcuts and disable that programmed shortcut.


If you are using Virtual Interfaces, Room Correction Software and Aggregate Devices

If you channel your signal through a virtual interface (SoundID by Sonarworks or Decibel by process.audio for example) or a macOS Aggregate Device instead of directly to the UA device, please make sure to go to UA Preferences → Advanced and select your device from the list so that UA Companion will know to control your UA Device when that device is selected.


How to use the Surround Enabler

If you own a Twin device, use Virtual 1-2 instead of your Line 3-4. Virtual 1-2 volume will follow your main volume knob.
If you own an x4 device, use Virtual 1-2, and Virtual 3-4 instead of your Line 1-2 and Line 3-4 respectively. Virtual 1-2 and Virtual 3-4 volumes will follow your main volume knob.


AAX Plugins Arranger

UA Companion can now put all UA Plugins you don't own in an Unused folder. That way, when you use Pro Tools, the menus don't get all cluttered up by Plugins you don't own. If at some point you'd like to put them all back and try some demos, hit the Put All Back button in the Plugins tab.
