The UAD Neve 33609/33609SE includes a bank of factory presets. These
Factory Presets
presets can be useful starting points for your particular source audio.
The factory preset names begin with MSTR, BUSS, or TRAK. These indicate
the setting of the headroom parameter. (14 dB, 18 dB, and 22 dB respec-
tively).
Mastering (MSTR) presets are optimized for mixed program material that is al-
ready at a relatively high level.
Buss/group (BUSS) presets are optimized for subgroups of audio, such as a
drum group or vocal group. This type of application often has lower levels
than full mixes, but higher levels than a track insert.
Track (TRAK) presets are optimized for track inserts where signal levels typi-
cally aren't as hot as groups or outputs.
The preset names are guidelines and not rules. In many cases, you can use
any preset on any source with good results. You will probably need to adjust
the threshold and/or gain controls to obtain the optimum results with your par-
ticular source audio.
