UAD Powered Plug-Ins Manual - 140 - Chapter 14: Precision Multiband
Output Level
Meter
The stereo
peak/hold Out-
put Meter dis-
plays the signal
level at the output
of the plug-in.
Signal peaks are held for 3 seconds before resetting.
Output Level
Knob
The Output Level knob controls the signal level that is output from the plug-in.
The default value is 0dB. The available range is ±20dB.
EQ Display
Switch
The EQ Display mode can be static or dynamic. The EQ Display switch deter-
mines the active mode. Click the switch to toggle the mode.
EQ
In this mode, the EQ Display is static. Only the colored frequency bands are
displayed.
Dynamic EQ
In Dynamic EQ mode, a light blue line in the EQ Display indicates the actual
frequency response of the processor in realtime.
Phase Mode
Switch
The filter bank mode of Precision Multiband can be specified with the Phase
Mode switch. Click the switch to toggle the mode. The default mode is Linear.
Both filter bank modes achieve the magnitude response of a Linkwitz-Riley fil-
ter and provide perfect magnitude reconstruction.
Linear
Use linear phase mode when perfectly phase-coherent results are desired.
Minimum
Minimum phase mode provides a more “analog” (i.e., colored) sound and
uses slightly less UAD CPU.
While the DSP savings are rather negligible, there is a functional advantage
to Min phase mode. When Precision Multiband is used as a track compres-
sor, Min phase mode provides the advantage of rapid response time of the fil-
ters for smooth automation and filter sweeps.
