    At the SLOWER response times, this appears to be behaving VERY similarly to my 35-year old LA-2As.
    I’m very impressed.
    I have almost never really been impressed by any software attempt at one of these.
    Intriguing.

    As a beginner i was worried to compress too much my vocals even if i heard that it was needed. Seeing a rank 1 profesional compressing -7db without worriness even on two compressors helped me a lot to stop thinking i was getting mistaken by that. Awesome compressor btw. Thx for the video.

    You have a very good way of explaining things in a way that isn’t a string of jargon and tech-speak. The PA bundles have made my life a lot easier as a hobby musician (and a lot cheaper). Joe, you’re a legend. Props to PA for the collaboration and excellent plugins.

    Great video and great compressor. I remember after I demoed it last spring and instantly fell in love with it, learning that Neold was 1/3 Reimund "Ray" Dratwa (Fuse Audio Labs) and thinking, 'Yup, that makes sense.' To my ears this is the single best LA2A plugin we have, and that's on sound alone - not even considering the flexability and modern software features. But ... the best of everything here is Mackenzie Johnson. Thank you for introducing me to her. I spent the rest of the day listening to the handful of produced tracks she's released on Apple Music and some older youtube covers. Pop songs with clever lyrical depth, phenomenal melodies ... and just an incredible singer. Refereshing to hear her against the din of current droning pop.

    FINALLY, an LA-2Aish plugin that really impresses me - an actual hardware owner.
    Yes, there have been others that do a good job of ONE ASPECT or another of what comes out of these devices. And I give them credit FOR SURE. But I found myself using 4 different versions and developing a bad taste in my mouth towards the entire endeavor.
    I haven’t been using this long enough to be VERY confident, but I’m close. I’m really close, to being able to cast off the others and simplify my life with just this one.
    It has happened before. Echoboy comes to mind, right? Right?
    Add a certain purple 77 thing, and an Xtressor thing and the whole dynamics thing is…well, it’s just DONE, isn’t it.
    Now if only we could get something to truly recreate the Yamaha REV-7 “SYMPHONIC” chorusing effect, we could get back on schedule.
    Eh?…eh,eh?…. 🤷‍♂️

    I’m new to this as a detailed approach, so is the magic of this plugin the fact that it adds the variability of unit age (therefore the warmth, smoothness, etc that comes with an older 2A)? Is that what makes this plugin unique? Thanks.

    • @InTheMixJoeCarrell
      @InTheMixJoeCarrell Рік тому +1

      That’s one of thing. Being able to take the tube completely out or overdrive It indefinitely is another. If you haven’t watch the full video, I recommend doing that because I think it will answer all your questions. ✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼

      To me it implies a smooth enough release that the compression is hardly noticeable. And having an attractive smooth frequency response. The opposite of gear that has an in your face sound, bright sound, punchy, mid forward, aggressive….
