Slower release times can smooth the transition that occurs when the signal
dips below the threshold, which is especially useful for material with frequent
peaks. However, if the release is too long, compression for sections of audio
with loud signals may extend to sections of audio with lower signals.

sources may produce undesirable results.

EQ
The UAD Neve 88RS "Formant Spectrum EQ" (AMS-Neve's descriptor) is di-
vided into four frequency bands (see
quency (HF), High Midrange Frequency (HMF), Low Midrange Frequency
(LMF), and Low Frequency (LF). The high and low bands can be switched into
shelving and/or High-Q modes. The two midrange bands are fully paramet-
ric. The EQ module can be disabled altogether.
When the high frequency (HF) and/or low frequency (LF) band is in shelf
mode, the band gain affects the band frequency. As gain is increased, the
shelf frequency more closely matches the knob value. As gain is reduced how-
ever, the low shelving frequency moves higher, and the high shelving fre-
quency moves lower.
With the UAD Neve 88RS EQ, the Q value and range is dependent on the
gain setting of the band. With any non-zero gain setting, the Q will be calcu-
lated in real-time for that band. But if the band gain is zero, Q will always dis-
play zero.
"The unique sound of AMS-Neve EQ is the result of years of research and ex-
tensive studio experience."
