LA-3A Vocal Trick !

[Dan Duskin]

I was just testing out the LA-3A on vocals (comparing it to the LA-2A) and I discovered something great!

LA-2A in compression mode followed by LA-3A in limit mode... \"NICE!!!!\"
(yet another reason for a chainer... \"hmm\"...)

That should ROCK!

Did the same today by mistake (!)

Sounds great on basslines as well.

I also inverted the limiter/compressor chain (LA2a in limiter position followed by La3a in compression position). Although technically stupid, it also sounded nice.


I will buy the La3a just for that .

how about the usual 1176 and la2a combo in chain for vocals but then add the la3a ? I cant test myself as I'm on the road..

 

[Schaap]

I had the LA3A in limit mode after the 1176LN on vocals and sounded very good! Setting LA3A back in compress mode didn't give the mojo as in limit mode IMO.

LA3A and 1176? Wow! You guys are dirty!

 

[Macc]

I clobbered a double bass through the 88RS, into LA2A and then LA3A yesterday.

I was looking for dirt, and I got it!!

On the topic of Interesting compression...

I got the Ohm-force Ohmicide plugin a few weeks ago and it has some of the most freaked out compression i have ever heard (once you turn off the distortion). I mean well-freaky, like you've never heard before freaky...

A truly great plug. Just a tip.

1073 -> LA-2A -> LA-3A...

...saved my last wack vocal track. Thanks Dan!

Thanks for the tip, Dan! I finally got to try it out last night & it worked out amazingly well!
