UAD Powered Plug-Ins - 262 - Helios Type 69 Equalizer
Line The Line switch determines whether the plugin is active. This is use-
ful for comparing the processed settings to that of the original sig-
nal, or to bypass the plug-in to reduce the UAD DSP load.
Click the switch to toggle the state; the switch is illuminated in green when
the plug-in is active.
Helios 69 Latency
The Helios 69 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 “Samples” parameter in Delay-
Comp or TrackAdv to compensate. See “Compensating for Precision Equal-
izer, Helios 69, Neve 1073, and Neve 1081” on page 57 for more informa-
tion.
Note: Compensating for Helios 69 is not required if the host application sup-
ports full plugin delay compensation throughout the signal path, or when it is
used only on the outputs. See “Host PDC Implementation” on page 50.
