Boot-up issues with Luna Console

[Dragon]

I have 4 Apollo x8p connected to a Mac Mini. Upon boot-up, when the software connect with each x8p, it invokes the UAD console and have warning message about "One of more UAD plug-ins are disabled because DSP resources were exceeded" while none was used. This annoying message and console popped up 4 times and I need to ackowledge, then close out the console for Luna to launch and work properly.

My UAD software are latest version 1.5.4.3416. Mac OS Ventura, Mac Mini 3.2GHZ 6-core Intel i7.
Would really appreciate any pointers on how to get rid of these issues?

first of all, there really is no need no need for the ‘UA engine’ to kick in on boot, it will load on demand. I have no idea why UA enforced that (maybe historically it had a value, although I doubt it… it has been several decades that any *nix based OS can handle that seamlessly ).

That is to say, if you do not let that happen then this will not occur, presumably (how to do that depends on your system, or you can check my utility ‘PlugIn Cleaner’ which will disable the boot up daemon for you). It does not really explain why your system is trying to load up any UAD plug-ins themselves though, so you may have customised your setup to load Luna or Console itself on startup? depending on how that was implemented I guess that could lead to this, who knows…

Thank you, @RogueM. I fixed this issue by uninstall CleanMyMac, uninstall/reinstall UAD software, disabled UA Meter/Console to launch at the stant-up, and reduced the number of virtual channel count on 3 X8P units, increased the DSP pairing to 4 max.
