UAD Powered Plug-Ins - 245 - Neve 33609 Compressor
Neve 33609SE
Overview The UAD Neve 33609SE is derived from the UAD Neve 33609. Its algorithm
has been revised in order to provide sonic characteristics very similar to the
33609 but with significantly less DSP usage. It is provided to allow 33609-
like sound when DSP resources are limited. Nobody with “golden ears” will
claim it sounds exactly like the 33609, but it still sounds great and is very us-
able in most situations.
The 33609SE interface can be differentiated from the 33609 by color and
the module name. The 33609SE background is black instead of the 33609’s
blue/grey, and the module name below the link switch includes “SE”.

Controls
The Neve 33609SE controls are exactly the same as the Neve 33609. Please
refer to the Neve 33609 section for Neve 33609SE control descriptions (see
“Neve 33609 Controls” on page 238).
Neve 33609 Latency
The Neve 33609 (but not the 33609SE) uses an internal upsampling tech-
nique 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 DelayComp or TrackAdv to compensate. The la-
tency, and its compensation, is identical to that of the UAD Precision Equal-
izer. See “Compensating for Precision Equalizer” on page 53 for more infor-
mation.
The Neve 33609SE does not require additional latency compensation be-
cause it is not upsampled.
Note: Compensating for Neve 33609/33609SE 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 46.
