A clear description from @flynnstudio UA forum describing how to set of an m1 to run current UA OS (big Sur certified but not m1, yet.)
1. Shutdown M1 Mac
2. This is the tricky bit! Do it wrong and it'll just boot past back into the OS. Hold down power button. Keep it held for at least 10 seconds (count it!) - the white pinhole LED light on the front should stay lit all the time. The words entering Startup Options may appear on your screen, if they don't just let go after ten seconds and it will enter into the recover mode. If you do it wrong you'll either turn the Mac back off or just end back up in the main os. There is a knack to it.
3. Once in Recovery Mode, Click through until you get the menu with the big list of options. Then from the MENU BAR next to the apple icon select Startup Security Utility from the drop down menu.
4. Click Security Policy ( you may have to click a padlock and enter your admin password)
5. Set security to Reduced and radio the option 'Allow user management of kernel extensions from identified developers'
6. Click Ok, restart from the MENU BAR, then when your back in the main OS install your UA software,
7. The Security and privacy pane under settings will act up at the END of the UA installation wizard and imply that the installation hasn't worked. That's not true. You just need to go into the System Settings, Security and Privacy option and on the general Tab, click the padlock and allow the UAD software. I also had to click the privacy tab and scroll to Accessibility and enable the UAD mixer.
8. After that reboot your Mac, then plug your UAD hardware in and you should be good to go. The drivers are pretty much rock solid and won't mess with your Mac in any way.
