    I just built myself a dual/stereo LA2A and I also HAD to put the HPF pot on the front, it's SUCH a good mod to do for an LA2A, gives you so much more controll over the low end, and makes an already amazing compressor work much more rugidly in a modern enviroment with the more bass heavy styles we see today.

    Audioscape products aren't cheap by any stretch of the imagination, but they don't cost a tremendous fortune compared to OG models or their current reissues. I recently picked up a bunch of Audioscape units from a studio in Tennessee, and they definitely compare to my original vintage units and in some cases they're better. I'm not an LA2A fan, but I absolutely love the Opto Comp version. It's less glitchy, quieter, and being new and well built it's more reliable.

    Does anyone know why the DBX 160 vu amplifies certain transients and s,z,sh,p,k,t sounds in vocals!? is the attack too slow for hard rap vocals? (Dr.Dre used this comp to track vocals for Eminem, D12, G-Unit, Snoop, The Game, etc.) The track doesn't look more balanced after compression, but certain peaks stand out strongly. The track still looks pretty dynamic after compression.

Personally I didn’t want to hurry that process in order to rush out some winners, they have to be the ones that the artist loves!

    Audioscape advertisement. They are always back ordered on a lot of their gear. Their gear does not sound the same as the UA gear, but its half the money and it still sounds good. The hp filter on the LA-2A is a plus over the UA. I found Audioscape better made and they sound better to my ears compared to many other clones out there.

    That guitar sounded cool before the stereomaker, after it really brought out the shittiest quality of the recording 😂

    Hi Warren) This is all interesting) You make useful videos, spend your time and help beginners and not only musicians) I have one question for you) What about the contest? Why do you ignore such questions? Say it's all gone) Many people spent their PR time doing their remix work) What about the contest?))
