Universal Audio UAD Preset Page

Mix/Master engineer Tim Dolbear is an expert level user and beta tester with Samplitude and UA (UAD-1-2).  These presets are start point presets from his personal library.  NEW Presets Updated Monthly, Check Back Often...

Universal Audio:UAD-1, UAD-2

 

Presets work in both mono and stereo versions. These are "starting setting" presets. Load and adjust.    Please do not rename these presets

Cambridge RIAA curve RIAA-recovery-curve.  Record a LP into a sound card and you'll need this phonographic EQ recovery curve to make it sound correct. A great solution.

Neve 88RS channel My personal default setup for this channel strip. Point to note: The low EQ shelf is a low rich Pultec like sound.  The High EQ Shelf is modeled after the NEVE 1073 High shelf. When seen, you will ask yourself, "why does the 1073 hi shelf say 10K, but the Neve 88RS is set to around 4k?"  I make these presets by ear and that is the matching setting.  Compressor is a good solid smooth all-around setting. Adjust the threshold first.

4K Channel I went with the most musical eq points, and the most useable curves.  The Compressor is very aggressive and is too a good starting point for it. Adjust the threshold first.

Fairchild Mix Buss setups A collection of my favorite mixbuss settings.  Adjust the threshold first, you want to set it for only a few db reduction.

Pultec EQ Vocal enhancer setting.  Use this last in your vocal chain. Just turn it on and you are done.

Download

Cambridge Helios curve This adds the curve that you get by just turning on the Helio eq with the bass knob engaged, but all boost/cut set to zero. Just to add that Helios curve with out using a Helio EQ and its processing demands.  Use it as is in the mix bus for a flavor additive, or tweak from here to get more out of it.

Download

Cambridge Neve 1073 curve The Low Shelf is matched up to the Low shelf on the 1073 set to 110hz. the High shelf is too matched up with the Hi shelf on the 1073. The mid freq are set to good starting points.  Tweak the boost/cut knows for a great console eq sound.

Pultec Mix-buss enhancer Mix buss and buss enhance. Nice smooth highs and round bottom.

31102 EQ Collection of presets, some were included in release

33609SE    (Really, use the SE version) Great dirty limiter setting for Bass Guitar and other instr. Just adjust the Limiter's threshold (furthest left knob) to get 4-8db in gain reduction. Adjust the output level to make up gain. More round and wooly then the 1176.
