UAD Powered Plug-Ins Manual - 58 - Using UAD Powered Plug-Ins
The compensation value to use depends on the session sample rate. Use the
following values to compensate for the plugin latency when using the special
equalizers on track inserts or buses.
Special EQ
Group/Bus
Example
Situation: You have a song with bass, drums, guitar, and 4 string tracks. You
want to change the EQ for all the strings so you put the string tracks on a
group/bus and apply one instance of Precision Equalizer to the string bus. Re-
sult: The string tracks play late in relation to the other instrument tracks.
Solution: Send the output of the unprocessed instrument tracks (but not the
string tracks or the Precision Equalizer return) to a different group/bus, and
put one DelayComp with a Plugs value of 1 and a Sample value from Table 4
on page 58 on this group/bus that contains the dry non-string tracks. If you
put 2 Precision Equalizers stacked in series on the string bus, the unprocessed
bus DelayComp Plugs value would be 2, and the Sample value would be
twice the chart value.
Compensating for Precision Maximizer and Neve 33609
These special equalizers use unique internal processing to produce their great
sound. This processing results in a slightly larger latency than other UAD plu-
gins. Therefore, they require slightly more compensation to remain perfectly
synchronized with other tracks. This is not an issue if these plugins are used
for program material on the output bus, where latency is not a consideration.
However, if they are used elsewhere in the signal chain and the host does not
automatically compensate for latency at that point in the signal chain, they re-
quire slightly more compensation to remain perfectly synchronized with other
tracks.
Therefore, when using the DelayComp or TrackAdv plugin to manually com-
pensate for these special equalizer plugins, enter the Samples value from
Table 4 on page 58 (in addition to the appropriate “Plugs” value) for each in-
stance of the plugin.
