I just bought the hardware TUBE TECH Compressor LCA 2B ON EBAY. I took a risk because the seller didn't know it was functional but the light did power on. I think $1,500 is a good price for the unit. The big brother of this one here..

[@officialdiomer]

how's it treating you?

[@PuRe_AdDicT]

Opto Comp with A, R, side chain and parallel, what’s not to love? It’s LA2A in a Superman suit.

[@cahlajthepoetmc9746]

I appreciate the review. I was looking for someone to use it on vocals and you are the only video that explain how they use it on vocals so far. Thanks again.

[@nichttuntun3364]

Great video. Very entertaining presentation and I got the impression you actually really liked this plugin. I don't get that impression with every MPOTW video. Also refreshing to hear such a lust for life breeding music. I enjoyed this episode as much as I like this plugin from softube. Combined with the complete MKII strip is a joy to use. Cheers

Love your comments i see around on all the mix/gear reviews! Love me that herbie album too! Big up!

[@nichttuntun3364]

@@Theboydevoye Ah. Cool. Thank you. I'll try and give my best ;) This album really is killer. Cheers

[@monarchdrumandbass8700]

Great, informative video as always!

[@Arkayem]

I love this comp.

[@mixingwithmike]

Me too!

[@MISTAMUSIK]

The next best thing to a Fairchild which it was made in mind...

[@reyhprodbeats4605]

Excellent compressor, I Love it. For me the only drawback in the UA version is that it doesn't have "external sidechain" feature as the native version from softube. But it sounds good anyway. Thanks for that great review. You're the best Mike.

[@deceiver444]

Another great review. Thanx for all the detailed explanations.

[@mixingwithmike]

Cheers!

[@MustafaAlbazy]

I have the native and I love it on vocals and bass, top notch emulation quality. The only issue with this mk is the GUI size a bit large, I've noticed all recent Softube's plugins going this way now.

[@joymattey]

Please let me know if I understood this correctly: What you are saying is the fix/man makes the attack knob into a "hold" knob?

[@diegooliveirabenjamin]

One of my favorite compressors, just amazing

[@mixingwithmike]

One of my faves as well !

[@psysword]

Great song

[@bikesnbeerz]

Good choice MW!

[@BrewerShettles]

Hi. What about higher Parallel comp settings? 55%?

[@YASIR.K]

Thanks

[@rickymolina7390]

This plugin sounds awesome. Would you recommend it then over the LA-2A (which I already have, but if the Tube-Tech is that much better I think I better buy it). Do you also prefer the Tube-Tech EQ over the two Puigtechs? Thank you.

[@robertstapleton3598]

I'd like to hear the answer to this as well.

[@levondarratt787]

@@robertstapleton3598 me too

[@robertstapleton3598]

@@levondarratt787 Recently I've been in two very nice studios and both used the Tube-Tech hardware version. They said that it was similar to the LA-2A but with more controls and they described it as an essential part of their recording process. I also read somewhere that it is kind of like Pultec gear in sound which I love because it has eq that is warm and the opposite of harsh (the best way I can think to describe it). If the software captures this, then I'm sold.

[@MISTAMUSIK]

The vocal was recorded distorted and you want to add auto tune on the vocal as well! The vocal was very harsh...

[@directed6924]

Thanks for the review on this, amazing sound. Can you do review on Vertigo Sound VSC-3 and VSE-2?

[@RadiantMinecraft]

Great comprosession

[@Doctaj54]

Thanks Mike. Good stuff. Question: Have you posted any videos on Avid Heat?

[@breethewithme]

Great video as always! Have you ever considered testing the TC 2290-DT? Would have been great to have your take on it before buying.

[@rhawnb5457]

Is there a difference in sound between the UAD CL1b MKII and the Softube native version?

[@DSKarki]

You are the best Thanks man

[@mixingwithmike]

Cheers!

[@iam_geyed]

Are you going to do a follow up on McDSP 6060 collection?

[@underpressureman]

Hey Michael. In your opinion how would you say the hardware Tube-Tech differs from a hardware LA-2A, what do you favour one or the other for, and which would you get if you could only get one(negating the fact that there are plugin versions)? Thanks.

[@MISTAMUSIK]

The tube Tech sounds more like a Fairchild as it was modeled after it. Not the LA2a

[@underpressureman]

@@MISTAMUSIK Oh ya, thats really cool. Thanks, I didnt know that Reno.

[@lamasteve6905]

This can make even those old heroin voices sound palatable !

[@povertytaretv]

The needle always look janky

[@steftizful]

Pour quoi mes oreilles n'entendes pas ce plugin ? lol
