Thanks Drew! The best UAD tutor, well deserves the "UAD Guru" title shown on screen. To learn more on vocal mixing, I also recommend everyone to watch his 2 hour live discussion with others dated November 29, 2021.
I don't think it's a good idea to use only these 3 compressors on a mix. 1. Build up of the same harmonics makes the mix muddy. 2. You definitly need a compressor with a faster attack time. For example to kill the transients of a sound that you want to place in the back of the mix. And to avoid transient masking.
They sound great. This tutorial would have been even better if samples could be level matched a little more. Also, starting from the bypassed state would probably help:) Anyway, thank you!
level matching belongs in the digital domain, analogue gear is running on circuits and electricity. the difference in sound should be perceived by your ears not your eyes.
Love all the UAD. I use all the Luna emulations and plugins. Just remember you will lose all the feeling in a track if you level everything too much. Listen and FEEL. louder isn’t better. We’ve all made that mistake. You are going to master your music and it will need some headroom & dynamics for an overall movement to the mix.
Great video!! Thanks for all the material and attention you guys have been puttin on spark/new users. Is there any prediction for new plugins being added to the spark bundle?
So is there away to link the gain reduction and the gain?? So we don't need to go back and forth with the mouse between the knobs. This is a must have in any software La2a. I mean, with hard ware we have two hands. They are literally built to be worked with two hands at once!! Will get if that's a feature.
Thanks Drew. Appreciate the new art for LA's and your effort on this video. Since the update, the UAD DAW plugin GUI for controlling monitor level etc is now massive, will there be the option to choose the smaller version if preferred? There doesn't seem to be a way to select a GUI size in Cubase 12, the Cubase option to "Allow window to be resized" has no effect.
This video is awesome but I wish there went more in depth on the technical differences. Only Universal Audio knows the passive differences that would come from using either of these and there has to be more differences between the 3 than speed. Is there a manual available for each?
I HAVE 2 UAD SETUPS . I USE pLUG aLLIANCE , Acustica, and Sountoys as well. I will never get rid of my UAD satellites. Waves come through as well but not like Plug Alliance, Softube and UAD . LA 2 a on string bass or synth bass is a beast for HIP Hop and EDM
@@Oscar-kx2du I'm curious what was the reason behind ruining great looking old GUI with this new one when they aren't even scalable. If they were scalable then people would say okay now they're at least scalable but they could easily just add few higher resolution samples like Plugin Alliance has and keep the old nice looking GUIs. Especially the 1176 look quite bad compared to old GUI... Just my two cents.
@@danielkisel5661 Yeah, personally the new skins I hate the most are the 1176 revA and LA-2A Silver, I don't know how the hell UAD made such a downgrade, honestly
I bought the Volt 1 and this was supposed to be included for free! I didnt get any licence codes, it just automatically dropped to my iLok account, and requires an iLok usb to activate? How do I redeem that stuff? Tired of all this iLok, UAconnect shit to be honest..
Worst support in the pluggins world! Horrific, i bought it and after that, only problems, no one can help me and i already created 3 tickets, no one can give me an answer and when i try to contact support for refound, casualty the bot forget my name and start to ask again. Whan an absolute nightmare!
Wow!! This is one of the most unproper levelmatching i have heard. Didnt think UAD would resort to louder is better and have it louder when plugin is on and lower when its off! 👎🏼
(Universal audio) great company, customer service worst thing ever and there is no number to get to anyone to help with your problem and the customer service representative I was emailing has no idea about what my problem is and is rude and then telling me I'm rude...
this is what a manager or supervisor from UAD said to me(The Autotune plugin that you are having issues with and is the core of this support request was not purchased but rather was given to you free as part of a promotion. That in mind there would not be any order to cancel/refund.)
One of the best demo's you guys have done!
Thanks Drew! The best UAD tutor, well deserves the "UAD Guru" title shown on screen. To learn more on vocal mixing, I also recommend everyone to watch his 2 hour live discussion with others dated November 29, 2021.
You probably do an entire mix with just the LA2A collection and be really happy with the results. Great stuff!
Indeed, they are "instant sound good" devices for sure!!! 👊🏻
I get what you mean they most definitely will be used on every mix, and most definitely in my vocal busses for my clients who just pay by the hour.
I don't think it's a good idea to use only these 3 compressors on a mix. 1. Build up of the same harmonics makes the mix muddy. 2. You definitly need a compressor with a faster attack time.

There are no rules. 😁
Simple to the point clear love you , Drew
Dare I say UAD is so far ahead it’s not even competition at this point.
learned a lot! Especially love the application of LA-2 on piano. It opened up some ideas for me. Great job Drew!
More of these !! We pay so much for these plugins, we deserve these proper tutorials! Do these more on vocals please. Come on guys!! 👍🏼👍🏼
Please i need a tip for mix bass with this plugins ( two compressors in series)
This one was really great! Thanks!!!
I've been really digging the LA 2 lately with my TLM 49. It seems to work well with that mic.
Great to put a face to the name Drew. I use this collection on every mix pretty much, and have done for years.
👍🏻
They sound great. This tutorial would have been even better if samples could be level matched a little more.
Also, starting from the bypassed state would probably help:)
Anyway, thank you!
I'm amazed how good this is.
sounds good. bring back the old skins as alternates, please!
Why
Excellent Drew! Love this video and your demonstration on drums, vox, and piano.
Nice video, but can you please level match next time. Its pretty hard to hear if it actually sounds better or just louder.
I totally agree with you, that was what I was looking for in the before and after comparission.
Just love the sound! Don’t think too much 🙏
level matching belongs in the digital domain, analogue gear is running on circuits and electricity. the difference in sound should be perceived by your ears not your eyes.
Just need better ears dog.
@@nethercords Wow you have no idea what you're talking about.
The famous Drew from UA! 🙌🏽😎
In the flesh!!!!
Great video! But I do hope people can gain stage more so we can really hear the difference. I don't trust my ear, cuz I always like the louder one...

Good job on the presentation, Drew.
Thanks Alex!!
Hey guys hope to get this question seen :) What are the main differences between this plug to the anologe version?
Hey Drew! Nice to see your face again man! Hope you're doing good!
Living the dream Bjørn!!! Hope the same goes for you!
Drew is the man!
Perfect
Great video!! Thanks for all the material and attention you guys have been puttin on spark/new users.
Is there any prediction for new plugins being added to the spark bundle?
Nothing to announce at this time.
@@UniversalAudio Thanks!! I would gladly make a video about it when it's announced, for the Brazilian audio community 🤘
These are awesome tutorials so many people would love this!! I do!! Do more!!
More coming!!!!
Next time you show the before and after level match it
Great video! Awesome plugins!
Love these and the 1176s, but please, bring back the previous skins, they were way better...
Really enjoy your enthusiasm!
Thank you to share your knowledge
Are you using any EQ to add highs to these videos too or are they straight no EQ?
La2a in drums? Interesting choice
Oh yeah!! With its 10ms average attack time, it's a natural in this application!
CAN WE GET SOME MORE TIPS LIKE THIS FOR UAD PLUGINS WITH VOCALS IN PARTICULAR? THANKS!
What is the difference between three of them from the bundle?
So is there away to link the gain reduction and the gain?? So we don't need to go back and forth with the mouse between the knobs. This is a must have in any software La2a.

There doesn't seem to be a way to select a GUI size in Cubase 12, the Cubase option to "Allow window to be resized" has no effect.
That didn't change in V10, not sure what you're seeing! Let Support know and be sure to submit before and after pics.
@@UniversalAudio I will, thank you!
👍🏻
Great video, fantastic Drew!
Glad you enjoyed it Kurt!!
Can you make an Video of every rev in detail whats all about every Edition? Maybe an CLASSIC Series feat. LA-2A / 1176 / Pultec / etc.
Are these examples level matched?
Do I need UAD interface to run this Teletronix plugin
This video is awesome but I wish there went more in depth on the technical differences. Only Universal Audio knows the passive differences that would come from using either of these and there has to be more differences between the 3 than speed. Is there a manual available for each?
There's more info available here: www.uaudio.com/blog/la-2a-analog-obsession/
Compress something while metering with a waveform analyser. You can see the shapes it creates in real time.
does anyone know if there is an oversampling option for this plugin?
What’s the ratio on limit mode vs comp ?
I HAVE 2 UAD SETUPS . I USE pLUG aLLIANCE , Acustica, and Sountoys as well. I will never get rid of my UAD satellites. Waves come through as well but not like Plug Alliance, Softube and UAD . LA 2 a on string bass or synth bass is a beast for HIP Hop and EDM

Please make your GUIs bigger/scalable.
I would even say bring back the old GUIs and make them scalable 🙃
@@danielkisel5661 Agree 100%, old skins were awesome, the new ones look like freeware
@@Oscar-kx2du I'm curious what was the reason behind ruining great looking old GUI with this new one when they aren't even scalable.
If they were scalable then people would say okay now they're at least scalable but they could easily just add few higher resolution samples like Plugin Alliance has and keep the old nice looking GUIs.
Especially the 1176 look quite bad compared to old GUI...
Just my two cents.

@@Oscar-kx2du I don't know I guess it's "modern" these days, but I don't think so especially with plugins that emulate vintage gear... 😉
Thanks Drew
👍🏻
Hi Drew I find strange you have to be connected to the internet? whit Spark
You can easily move your iLok auth to a USB iLok and be internet free.
Thank you Drew top
You got it!
Great stuff... Can UAD get a video together for sax or direct me somewhere please 👍
pitty no hf option for free version...
fingers crossed for windows support!
Coming this Fall!
limit will only make you hear attack,,, comp will release soon so you can hear body... taking example of snare (technical stuff)
thx!
I'm still waiting on someone to help me out , with my UAD plugins problem.....
What's going on?
My autotune access is not working since my last update of my UAD software.
Hey Drew!!
Hey!!
Love it
I tested uad spark and the truth is that your plugins are really ReaLLY GOOOD👍 but UA CONNECT really reaLLY SCKSSSSSSSSSS, repair that please👎🛠
Drew from Facebook. What up?
🥂
I don't understand, this drum bus should be stereo right ? And your plugin is mono ?
Hate it on drums, love it on bass and vocals
I bought the Volt 1 and this was supposed to be included for free!
I didnt get any licence codes, it just automatically dropped to my iLok account, and requires an iLok usb to activate?
How do I redeem that stuff?
Tired of all this iLok, UAconnect shit to be honest..
fire
fir
I'm gonna start saying sheen now
