Teletronix LA2A : Hardware VS. Software - YouTube

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.

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,

UAD LA2A - LA2A Compressor - LA2A Plugin

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

LALA (V.2.1) by Analog Obsession Review (Teletronix LA2A Styled Plugin)

Weight in terms of bus compression. We'll improve our Ultramarine, though. Gear Addict Joined: Jan 2011 Posts: 494 🎧 10 years Quote: Originally Posted by b0se ➡️ Yes, it's way off. Not good enough for a premium product. I'm not singling you out b0se, just thought I'd mention an alternate view on this topic. Of the hardware I've used, next to none of the tube hardware have accurate metering, at prices 10 - 30 times greater than this plugin. Very few meters are accurate in a meaningful way. What use is the meter on an 1176 in the all buttons in mode? Impossible to read. You just use your ears and the VU's of the desk.The gain reduction element is the only part of the circuit, but a VU often only measures the GR circuit voltage, or how it affects the sidechain, whatever. Then you need to account for the VU ballistics. Part of a vintage bit of gear is the ballistics, and listening while watching. The same VU reading on a STA level have different meaning on an 1176 or on a LA2A.It doesn't make them wrong, it is part of the experience. You mix into the VU. getting to know how it likes to dance. You get familiar with the ballistics. The whole -18dBFS = 0VU thing with Acustica is solely because the ballistics of VU's are too slow to be accurate and allow overshoot.If you have a modelled meter, it will have all the inaccuracies of VU's. My DAW has plenty of other meters for the analytical stuff. I don't need to worry about that with every plugin. I have never thought to myself with a STA level or an LA2A, would it be better with 1.7dB more reduction on the peaks? I just hear the squishiness.

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

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

UAD LA2A - LA2A Compressor - LA2A Plugin - Vintage King

Bass guitar without killing the performance.Does everything the LA-3A is purported to do, but I've never found plugin versions to live up to. I was trying this last night on my bass gtr - then discovered your post. It certainly is good. Seems to have slower attack and faster release than LA3A. Or at least compared with UA version. Sounded good on drums too. These plugins in my opinion are extremely underrated. Their VCL-4 is one of the best optical compressor plugins I've ever used. I've never had the original Teletronix LA-4, which it emulates, but I like the sound I'm getting and in most cases I actually prefer VCL-4 over my UAD LA-2A emulations (even though it's not technically correct to compare them directly as they emulate different hardware units) .The same goes for Flywheel, which I use on individual tracks or groups (for mix bus I use UAD Ampex ATR-102 emulation) to smooth out nasty high frequencies and get some pleasant distortion.Another gem is TCS-68, which also sounds incredible if you want that lo-fi vibe in your recordings. Its built-in EQ allows you to sculpt the sound pretty fast and get great results.Another thing I use quite often is VPRE-2C, which is a great sounding preamp, not much to say here, it just sounds good.One more thing I want to add is that these plugins are not taxing your CPU at all, so you can put them on many tracks without any issues.

Running to check TCS-68 and VCL-4 right now as you recommend them. I totally aree on Flywheel and VPRE-2C so probably gonna like the 2 others you mentioned too :D Flywheel is now my favourite tape plugin and my defacto go to. It blends that perfect mix of "not too cpu heavy vs the sound quality" and I love what. Excellent sound quality for a free compressor plugin 7. UAD LA2A: Best Optical Compressor Plugin.
