Chapter 14: Fairchild Tube Limiter Collection
Fairchild 670
The Fairchild 670 is the two-channel stereo workhorse revered by engineers
and producers worldwide.
Second-Generation Algorithms
The newer state-of-the-art algorithms in the Fairchild Tube Limiter Collection
take full advantage of the extra processing power available on UAD-2 de-
vices, along with the design sophistication and expertise gained since the
original Fairchild Legacy plug-in was developed.
Sonic Differences
Like the differences between the original Fairchild 660 and 670 hardware
units, the UAD models in the Fairchild Tube Limiter Collection offer variations
in threshold behaviors, total gain, input attenuation range, distortion amount,
distortion structure, program dependence, time constant subtleties and more.
These differences provides an expanded palette within the Fairchild sound.
Artist Presets
The Fairchild Tube Limiter Collection includes artist presets from prominent
Fairchild users. The artist presets are in the internal factory bank and are ac-
cessed via the host application’s preset menu.
The artist presets are also copied to disk by the UAD installer so they can be
used within Apollo’s Console application. These presets can be loaded using
the Settings menu in the UAD Toolbar (see “Using UAD Powered Plug-Ins” in
Chapter 7 of the UAD System Manual).
The Fairchild Tube Limiter Collection includes additional artist presets that are
not available in the internal factory bank. These additional presets can also
be accessed using the Settings menu in the UAD Toolbar.
Note:
Presets created with the original Fairchild Legacy plug-in are incom-
patible with the newer Fairchild Tube Limiter Collection plug-ins.
Upsampling
The Fairchild Tube Limiter Collection plug-ins (but not the Fairchild 670 Leg-
acy) use an internal upsampling technique. The upsampling results in a
slightly larger latency than most other UAD plug-ins. See Chapter 9 “Delay
Compensation” in the UAD System Manual for more information.
