But the only DSP plugs I own are the stock Digi stuff and some Metric Halo, which are serviceable but not special.
I was eager to see if somehow my new UA plugs could be used in UA’s LiveTrack Mode, in hopes they could replace my DSP plugs. But, there’s really no way, is there, as all these UA plugs are Native, and any Native plug is forced into bypass when in record mode?

You can force a native plugin to be available by inserting it after any HDX/DSP plugin.

But oh why are you trying to do any of this? You have a low-latency HDX system and you are adding inherently high-latency UAD hardware to it (the complete opposite of HDX) and want to replace the HDX plugins with UAD plugins for tracking, this makes no sense. Use the UAD plugins for mixing.
