File Menu

Session Files Location

By default, all UAD Console session files are stored at the following location within the OS file system (the same location used by the Session Browser):

• Mac: Users/UserName/Documents/Universal Audio/Sessions/
• Windows: C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming\Universal Audio\Sessions
  Tip: UAD Console sessions can be organized via the operating system's file manager. File locations in the OS are reflected within the Sessions Manager.

New

Creates a new UAD Console session with default settings (default settings cannot be changed). If the current session has been modified, a dialog appears allowing you to save it first.

Open...

Opens the operating system's standard "Open File" dialog for loading existing session files from disk.

Session files can also be opened by double-clicking .uadmix files from within the OS file system.

Save

If a session file was previously saved, selecting this option writes the current settings to the file with the same name, overwriting the previously saved file.

If the current session has never been saved, the operating system's standard "Save File" dialog appears so a new session file can be named and saved to disk.

Save As...

This option opens the operating system's standard "Save File" dialog so the current session can be named and saved to disk as a new session file.

Important: Session settings will not be saved if the "/" (forward slash) or "?" (question mark) characters are in the filename. Avoid these and other special characters when saving session files.

Note: See Multiple Undo/Redo for an overview of Undo/Redo.

Undo

When a parameter value in the UAD Console window is edited, the change can be reverted with the Undo command. By executing Undo again, edits can be stepped backwards repeatedly.

Redo

When the Undo function (above) is executed, the original edit can be restored with the Redo command. By executing Redo again, previous Undo's can be restored repeatedly.
