The sound quality is great, it gives everything a richer feel. Like Jack Morgan wrote before me, this is a true classic, a studio standard, and when thinking of analoge compressors, this is probably the first or the second that comes to mind! What an amazing gateway into the world of UAD plugins. The GUI is simple and just really sexy, and makes it feel like you’re working in a vintage studio with the real tube-driven metal beast of 1965.Ĭannot fault this product. The compression this plugin offers is super smooth, natural and musical, and as a self-producing musician it’s so inspiring to be able to transition to this kind of sound from using Logic’s compression plugins. I even use it on the master bus to give my whole mix an analog taste. I also use the LA2A for my guitar signal, whether acoustic or electric – fattens and livens things up. I nearly always use this on vocals – really brings energy and life to even the dreariest of takes! The parameters are of course limited, but with this kind of sound you don’t need any more than a few simple dials.
It immediately brings an analog feel to whatever you stick through it. One of the four “analog classics” that came with my UAD-2 Solo/Laptop card – a very generous inclusion! This is indeed a “classic”, and I can only add my small voice to the existing choir of converts singing UAD and Teletronix’s praises.
