UAD Powered Plug-Ins - 257 - Neve 1081 Equalizer
Neve 1081SE
Overview The UAD Neve 1081SE is derived from the UAD Neve 1081. Its algorithm
has been revised in order to provide sonic characteristics very similar to the
1081 but with significantly less DSP usage. It is provided to allow 1081-like
sound when DSP resources are limited. Nobody with “golden ears” will say
it sounds exactly like the 1081, but it still sounds great and is very usable in
most situations.
The 1081SE interface can be differentiated from the 1081 by color and the
module name. The 1081SE is black instead of the 1081’s dark blue, and the
module name on the lower right of the interface panel includes “SE”.
Neve 1081SE
Controls
The Neve 1081SE controls are exactly the same as the Neve 1081. Please re-
fer to the Neve 1081 section for Neve 1081SE control descriptions (see
“Neve 1081 and 1081SE Controls” on page 252).
Neve 1081 Latency
The Neve 1081 (but not the 1081SE) uses an internal upsampling technique
to facilitate its amazing sonic quality. This upsampling results in a slightly
larger latency than other UAD plugins. You may enter a value in the “Sam-
ples” parameter in DelayComp or TrackAdv to compensate. See “Compen-
sating for Precision Equalizer, Helios 69, Neve 1073, and Neve 1081” on
page 57 for more information.
The Neve 1081SE does not require additional latency compensation because
it is not upsampled.
Note: Compensating for Neve 1081 is not required if the host application
supports full plugin delay compensation throughout the signal path, or when
it is used only on the outputs. See “Host PDC Implementation” on page 50.
