UAD Powered Plug-Ins Manual - 59 - Using UAD Powered Plug-Ins
Important: Compensating for Precision Maximizer and Neve 33609 is not
required if the host application supports full plugin delay compensation
throughout the entire signal path, or when it is used only on the outputs. See
“Host PDC Implementation” on page 50.
The compensation value to use depends on the session sample rate. Use the
following values to compensate for the plugin latency when using these plu-
gins on track inserts or buses.
Precision
Maximizer,
Neve 33609
Group/Bus
Example
Situation: You have a song with bass, guitar, and 4 drum tracks. You want to
change the sonics for all the drums so you put the drums tracks on a
group/bus and apply one instance of Neve 33609 to the drum bus. Result:
The drum tracks play late in relation to the other instrument tracks.
Solution: Send the output of the unprocessed instrument tracks (but not the
drum tracks or the Neve 33609 return) to a different group/bus, and put one
DelayComp with a Plugs value of 1 and a Sample value from Table 5 on
page 59 on this group/bus that contains the dry non-drum tracks. If you put
2 Neve 33609’s stacked in series on the drum bus (hey, there are no rules!),
the unprocessed bus DelayComp Plugs value would be 2, and the Sample
value would be twice the chart value.
Compensating for Precision Multiband
The Precision Multiband requires a large processing buffer to perform its
sonic wonders. This buffer results in a significantly larger latency than other
UAD plugins. This is not normally an issue because the Precision Multiband is
designed to be used for program material on the output bus, where latency is
not a consideration. However, if the Precision Multiband is used elsewhere in
the signal chain AND the host does NOT automatically compensate for la-
tency at that point in the signal chain, the latency must be manually compen-
sated.
