5 Minute UAD Tips: Neve 33609 Compressor

In this video our friends at UAD show how you can use the Neve 33609 compressor plug-in on a variety of audio content including drums, bass, guitar buss, vocal buss and the Mix buss, with a range of techniques including parallel compression.

Renowned for its versatility and ultra-musical nonlinear distortion characteristics, the Neve 336009 compressor was an instant classic upon its debut in 1985. The Neve 33609 Compressor plug-in for UAD-2 and Apollo interfaces gives your tracks the character and cohesion of the legendary hardware.

Derived from the original Neve 2254 compressor, circa 1969, the 33609 stereo bus compressor/limiter utilizes a bridged-diode gain reduction circuit and many custom transformers. The uniquely musical character of this circuit has made the 33609 a studio standard since its release.
