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.
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.
learned a lot! Especially love the application of LA-2 on piano. It opened up some ideas for me. Great job Drew!

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?
@@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
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.
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.
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..
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.
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.
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
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?
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!
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 tested uad spark and the truth is that your plugins are really ReaLLY GOOOD👍 but UA CONNECT really reaLLY SCKSSSSSSSSSS, repair that please👎🛠
Next time you show the before and after level match it
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.
Love these and the 1176s, but please, bring back the previous skins, they were way better...
sounds good. bring back the old skins as alternates, please!
Why
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...
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
Please i need a tip for mix bass with this plugins ( two compressors in series)
learned a lot! Especially love the application of LA-2 on piano. It opened up some ideas for me. Great job Drew!
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 🤘
limit will only make you hear attack,,, comp will release soon so you can hear body... taking example of snare (technical stuff)
More of these !! We pay so much for these plugins, we deserve these proper tutorials! Do these more on vocals please. Come on guys!! 👍🏼👍🏼
I've been really digging the LA 2 lately with my TLM 49. It seems to work well with that mic.
Perfect
La2a in drums? Interesting choice
Oh yeah!! With its 10ms average attack time, it's a natural in this application!
Thank you to share your knowledge
CAN WE GET SOME MORE TIPS LIKE THIS FOR UAD PLUGINS WITH VOCALS IN PARTICULAR? THANKS!
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.

@@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... 😉
Dare I say UAD is so far ahead it’s not even competition at this point.
Are you using any EQ to add highs to these videos too or are they straight no EQ?
This one was really great! Thanks!!!
Great to put a face to the name Drew. I use this collection on every mix pretty much, and have done for years.
👍🏻
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.
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.
Excellent Drew! Love this video and your demonstration on drums, vox, and piano.

How do I redeem that stuff?
Tired of all this iLok, UAconnect shit to be honest..
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.
does anyone know if there is an oversampling option for this plugin?

LEVEL MATCH
Do I need UAD interface to run this Teletronix plugin
Good job on the presentation, Drew.
Thanks Alex!!
What’s the ratio on limit mode vs comp ?
fire
fir
These are awesome tutorials so many people would love this!! I do!! Do more!!
More coming!!!!
Hey guys hope to get this question seen :) What are the main differences between this plug to the anologe version?
Thanks Drew. Appreciate the new art for LA's and your effort on this video.

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 stuff... Can UAD get a video together for sax or direct me somewhere please 👍
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
🥂
Hate it on drums, love it on bass and vocals
Really enjoy your enthusiasm!
Great video! Awesome plugins!
pitty no hf option for free version...
I'm gonna start saying sheen now
Are these examples level matched?
Drew from Facebook. What up?
🥂
I'm amazed how good this is.
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!
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.
thx!
fingers crossed for windows support!
Coming this Fall!
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.
The famous Drew from UA! 🙌🏽😎
In the flesh!!!!
Love it
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 video, fantastic Drew!
Glad you enjoyed it Kurt!!
Hey Drew!!
Hey!!
Thanks Drew
👍🏻
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!
👎🏼
I don't understand, this drum bus should be stereo right ? And your plugin is mono ?
(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...
What is your ticket #?
This is my first ticket #613971 and my second one is#616114
