UAD Powered Plug-Ins Manual - 267 - Chapter 27: Neve 33609 Compressor
Note: The meter indicator moves farther to the right as more gain reduction is
occurring. This meter behavior is opposite that of many compressors.
Link This switch is a software-only addition that allows the two sets of controls for
each channel to be linked for ease of operation when both channels require
the same values, or unlinked when dual-mono operation is desired. The Link
parameter is stored within presets and can be accessed via automation.
Unlink
When set to unlink (up position), the controls for channels one and two are
completely independent. Unlink is generally used in mono mode. When un-
linked, automation data is written and read by each channel separately.
Note: When unlink is switched to link, channel 1 controls are copied to chan-
nel 2. Control offsets between channels are lost in this case.
Link
When set to link (down position), modifying any channel one or channel two
control causes its adjacent stereo counterpart control to snap to the same po-
sition (channel 1 & 2 controls are ganged together in link mode).
When link is active, automation data is written and read for channel one
only. In this case, the automation data for channel one will control both chan-
nels.
Note: When link is active, changing channel two parameters from a control
surface or when in “controls only” (non-GUI) mode will have no effect.
Mono/Stereo The Neve 33609 can operate in true stereo or dual-mono mode. This switch
determines the active mode.
Mono
In mono mode, channels 1 and 2 are completely independent and the 33609
functions as a dual-mono device, each channel with its own compressor and
limiter.
Note: To read and write automation data for both channels independently
when in mono mode, link mode must be disabled.
