Hey
@CaseySJ, I know you have a lot of UAD users here so I wanted to leave a little info on getting UAD's most recent update and macOS 11.4 working for those who having trouble like myself.
Sometimes after an install we get the unfortunate Driver Not Properly Loaded message from our Console Settings App.
In short, after UAD Installation we must restart and head to System Preferences>Security & Privacy and need allow the UAD Driver to load. For some users this isn't as option.
Preventative: I'm likely wrong but I have a hunch this has to do with a firmware update that is triggered happens during the install. I recommend powering off your UAD devices, installing, rebooting, and allowing the drive to load prior.
I found a few fixes scouring the UADForum. You can follow their thread
here.
1) You can use
Code:
sudo kmutil load -p /Library/Extensions/UAD2System.kext
in Terminal to load the driver. This will need to be redone after each reboot. If you don't use Terminal very often then consider pressing the up arrow on your keyboard and it will load the last command typed. That should make things quicker.

2) Create a Plist file for Library/LaunchDaemons that tells macOS to load UAD2System.kext on reboot. The file is attached here. You need to use these two commands in Terminal as well.
Code:
sudo chown root:wheel /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.uaudio.workaround.plist
sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.uaudio.workaround.plist
To undo this use these two commands
Code:
sudo launchctl unload /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.uaudio.workaround.plist
sudo rm /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.uaudio.workaround.plist

3) Reinstall macOS. Just go into recovery and do an install over your current one. This wont erase anything but please have a back up ready first. Be smart.
4) This is the longest method but worked for me (along with options 1 and 2). Download both v9131 and v9146 (you can find v9131
here). Uninstall UAD Software by going to Applications/Universal Audio and running the uninstall application. Restart. Run the the v9131 installer and restart but do not attempt to allow access via System Preferences. Then run the v9146 installer and restart. This time System Preferences should give you the option to Allow.
