Teletronix la2a plugin

Registered User Joined: Dec 2006 Posts: 377 🎧 15 years Modern day LA-2A alternative? I recently rented an original Teletronix LA-2A for a while and did some vocal recording with it and absolutely fell in love with the sound and simplicity of the unit.But I found it to be a little noisy and a bit gritty for anything other than rock vocals.As soon as I did some takes with a female vocalist and just a cello, the noise and subtle distortion started to become a problem.Is there anything out there right now that basicaly does the same, and sounds the same as the original but has a cleaner signal path? Or is it just the age of the unit? The UA version comes to mind but I have never heard one. Lives for gear Joined: Dec 2002 🎧 20 years The bloo Technologies LA-2A clone is a supposed to be a bit cleaner sounding than the original, depending on what components are in it. It's usually sold as a DIY kit, but can also be bought pre-assembled (that's what I did, and it's currently pictured in my avatar). They didn't have a website last time I checked, but if you do a search for more information here or on the Prodigy forum you should be able to find out how to contact them.

Hard to part with but had to raise money for a house purchase.I only had it a few months so it was easier to part with..but wonderful nonetheless.

LA-3A...which is a solid state version of LA-2A.I personally don't like to push program-dependent compressors too much for vocals, so I'm never impressed with the result when I do that with my LA-3A (Urei one, not UA).What I do is,

Stolen.i´m working at home only so the usb ilok is living on the backside of my computer and doesnt move at all.if i would work abroad as you are, and i would require an ilok, i would make a box for my ilok where it is savely placed, that i can store close to me or in my laptop bag in a closed inside bag or in my jacket, and then use an preconnected and tapped to the ilok USB extension chord to connect it to the computer, or the usb hub.if you are a touring musician, you can store this box somewhere in your rack, together with your audiointerface, etc.. there can be plenty of DYI ways to make it workable and not to be afraid this thing gets stolen or lost #9 LA2A Free can be authorized to your computer and doesn't require being online. #10 Machine auth doesn't always need a connection. Cloud auth always does, and USB never does. I personally use USB as primary. #11 LA2A Free can be authorized to your computer and doesn't require being online. Why secure a free plugin? #12 My guess is though free its real purpose is to entice you to join the ua native family, which will require you using ilok. If ilok is a dealbreaker for you, then you wouldnt be a future customer.rsp #13 Why secure a free plugin? It was only free for a limited time. #14 So many software and plugin companies require the use of an iLoc dongle that it’s very hard not to use it. I was not happy to have tens of thousands of dollars of authorizations on a USB dongle that could be stolen or lost at first, but after many years of use, I have never experienced a problem...so

A bit. Or, for tracking purposes, I could really smack the compressor with that signal and then dial the mix knob in with precision — this would allow me to retain a lot of the dynamics of the performance I’m capturing while getting some gnarly compression sprinkled in to give the instrument some thunder.OthersThere are so many compressors out there — both software and hardware versions – that I’m almost positive I’m leaving something out. But, like I’ve said before, a quick question into a search engine could bring up whatever information is needed to really master the compressor in question. Also, feel free to drop a comment below if you’re wanting some specific information on that same compressor.To Wrap It UpWe all know that compression involves narrowing the dynamic range of an audio signal. Boosting quieter signals and attenuating louder signals is the name of the game here. If you didn’t know that already, don’t feel bad. This whole post is an educational piece to help folks become better engineers and to better understand the tools at their disposal.The Teletronix LA-2A Classic Leveling Amplifier.As a side note, not all of these settings will be found on every compressor. For example, the Teletronix/Urei/Universal Audio LA-2A (and multiple renditions of it) has only three simple parameters: output gain, peak reduction (basically the threshold), and a limit/compress switch (which adjusts the ratio). On the other end of that spectrum, the Shadow Hills Mastering Compressor (which Universal Audio makes a beautiful plugin rendition of) has a mind-boggling amount of control. There are the common controls we’ve discussed here, and others which switch the type of metal in the circuit that’s being used and a blend amount for using different levels of those circuits…just a crazy amount of stuff that can have an engineer

Aren't like digital EQ plugins.

Well, the "issue" I was addressing wasn't "how close" they are, but how "good" a plugin is. The difference won't really tell you that.

Is the result pretty much the same on both? Does one seem to add something the other doesn't? Did you reach the same or better result faster with one?No phase test needed for that. Quote: Originally Posted by Nightshifter ➡️ push phase and enter values in the second plugin. Try to get the original sound of the first one. You will be surprised how close some plugins can be. Lots of DAW stock plugins are really excellent nowadays. I would probably not be surprised how close they are, and I agree that a lot of the stock plugins are excellent. I actually very much like the standard EQs, compressor and DeEsser in Nuendo (I assume it's the same one in Cubase).All I'm saying is that I think using a phase cancellation procedure to do anything but prove two things are the same (or not) is not very productive in this case. We probably agree on the rest. Lives for gear Joined: Jan 2010 Posts: 1,293 🎧 15 years I am demoing NI Vintage Compressors.30 minutes trial only? How bad is this.Now I have demoed the LA2A and compared to others stock compressors it is a completely different horse. (in my opinion, which is opinable)Stock standard comp and vintage comp have a different sound than la2a.I found them to be darker, "deeper" and a more raw sounding. LA2a is more "padded" in a pleasent way.Not better or worse, just different.So I think I'll add that guy to the flock.I've demoed Klanghelm MJUCjr, too. On the web site they state
