UAD Neve Dynamics Collection

The Neve Dynamics Collection gives you fully-endorsed end-to-end emulations of Neve's most cherished dynamics hardware — the Neve 2254/E and refreshed 33609/C limiter/compressors — exclusively for UAD hardware and Apollo interfaces:

• Get the world's only authentic plug-in emulations of Neve's iconic 2254/E and 33609/C limiter/compressors.
• Mix with the 2254/E, the famed compression module from Neve's iconic 80 series consoles.
• Shape with the updated Neve 33609/C using new Sidechain Filter, Dry/Wet Mix, and Fast/Slow Attack controls.
• Easily add weight, thickness, and tone on individual tracks and buses.
• Sculpt with custom Attack and Release settings not found on the original Neve 2254/E.
• Mix with artist presets from Vance Powell (Jack White, Chris Stapleton), Damian Taylor (The Killers, Björk), Chuck Zwicky (Prince, Soul Asylum), and more.

Neve 2254/E. The Heart of the 80 Series Console

A vital ingredient to the original Neve 80 series consoles, the 2254 limiter/compressor modules' creamy dynamics was employed on thousands of hit records — adding weight and color to instrument groups and individual tracks. Using a diode‑bridge topology, the Neve 2254/E features separate compression and limiting circuits, and is perfect for "toning up" while applying dynamics control to any source.

A Painstaking Emulation

By studying historical schematics and original Neve 80 series service manuals, UA's team of engineers captured every nook and cranny of this prized piece of British kit. The Neve 2254/E Limiter and Compressor plug-in nails the original hardware's complex amp/filter behaviors, giving your individual tracks and stereo buses the same colorful, rich British compression of the classic Neve module. Plus, shape stereo buses even further using the Neve 2254/E Dual, with independent L/R parameter control.

Mix Bus Royalty. The Neve 33609/C

Sporting more transparency and flexibility than the Neve 2254/E, but still flaunting fat, unmistakably British diode‑bridge dynamics control, the Neve 33609/C has been strapped across the mix bus of chart topping hits since the '70s. From gentle coloration to brickwall limiting, this workhorse dynamics processor is a professional go‑to not only for music production, but also mastering, post, and broadcast applications.

New 33609 Features

With new "plug‑in only" features like Sidechain Filter, Dry/Wet Mix for easy parallel processing, and Fast/Slow Compress Attack switch, you can sculpt stereo instrument buses and your mix bus with startling precision and unmistakable Neve tone.
