LA -2A
I assure you it sounds incredible, not faithfully or maybe yes, I don't have the old hardware, so... But you seem to feel something... Oh, yes, that's all... All the replicas they refer to will be of a specific unit, with a unique serial number that identifies it and, therefore, it is it. Being able to emulate something totally analog seems a little different to me than something purely digital or hybrid... I try it and I feel, wow, there's something there that... UA, for this one, is the father/mother of the child. Who better than... to...? It also has an evaluation period.... I am very happy with the development of LUNA for Windows, but it is sad not to find PCIE Thunderbolt to connect your hardware, but everything has a solution and sometimes better. How I regret not having decided UA for you first, yes there are alternatives, but believe me, really... a little, a little. Yes, but you have to search... Some people sell potions out there for sure... Yes, but you have to search...

Smooth for vocals And More dynamics
Teletronix LA-2A Sounds Great I my sound track more dynamics and very smooth for vocals , i like using this for projects
T. Teske
Finally
Our sound effects needed some press down on the dynamic range. Without sacrificing quality. Well, not only did we not sacrifice quality.. it compressed the SFX stems while adding color. Love it
F. Ferrer
WTF?
Can't track no more using the LA-2A on the console? why? since when? why you did that? Come on UAD I still love you, don't make me sell my Apollo Twin and switch sides...

Great plugin. Has the vibe of the original.

sorry ... no go
I am not pleased by the current sell-out policy of UAD, gradually abandoning the support of the hardware versions. It makes me feel sad. If there may be reasons for (certain) plug-ins to run on hardware only, these the reasons for this should be communicated. But nothing is communicated, and that's very bad. If I prefer native, I would by somewhere else! It's great to have hardware plug-ins also in the form of native plug-ins, that's clear. But the tendency to ignore hardware plug-ins is somewhat distractive.

Just hype.
Can't say I like it much. Just doesn't feel or fit good in many instances I usually end up swapping it for either UVI's opal or anything from Softube.
A. Nowak

Working with the compressor is really enjoyable, easy to use. I recommend it absolutly!
