Were back with our brand new set of Vintage La2a profiles sampled using our latest Series 3 technology, bringing you even closer to a perfect recreation of the Vintage Teletronix La2a Compressor, sought after by many, owned by the few chosen ones until now!:
There isn't really too much to say here other than the UA LA-2A is one of those compressors which has withstood the test of time again and again. Countless artists, producers and engineers have relied on the LA-2A for decades as the industry standard go to compressor limiter. It is everything you have read about and it is an essential part of any serious studio.
Until you actually use one and hear the difference it makes on a track or buss it is hard to understand the versatility of this Swiss Army knife of the audio industry. Thing is you have been listening to it all of your life because it is used on almost every hit record you have ever heard. One good way to describe this compressor is quality!!!! So easy to control and tenderly loves' everything you apply it to; almost as though it's giving your tracks a nice warm hug.
This particular Vintage La2a has been used on so many hits you would not believe. Currently housed at Purple Music Studios in Nashville, this device has stood the test of time. You cannot get the sound of a vintage La2a using standard plugins, they are sought after for a very good reason, even the new UA devices do not stand up to the sound of the vintage hardware. The reissue is not bad, but it's missing the "mojo" of the transformer, which was the UTC HA-100X, long since unavailable
We sampled 3 different amounts of compression to give you the maximum flexibility when mixing. perfect on vocals, bass and, well anything really. You will not be disappointed with these analog sampled profiles. They are the real deal. These profiles are not the same as the older la2a pack so are not available for a free upgrade, they are part of the Nashville devices we sampled in February. BUT they are are a significant upgrade on anything series 1 or series 2 ;-)
Presets included:
VINTAGE LA2A HEAVY COMP
VINTAGE LA2A MEDIUM COMP
VINTAGE LA2A LIGHT COMP
