/ 5 Attack time (Variable, 0.1 to 10 ms), Release time (Variable, 0.05 to 3 secs), are definitely not controllable allan_k Nov 17 2015 If it was modelled properly then the attack/release and the ratio are dependent on the source signal but generally the original Teletronix was a 10ms attack time, a 4:1 ratio and the release was around 60ms on quick signals with a further hold from 1s - 15s depending on the signal. It worked using a luminescent panel as an input and photocells 'seeing' and adapting the compression ration and release, if the photo cell sees light it continues to work. You control it by using the input gain and peak together. Gain would make the panel inside brighter optically and then you adjust the peak to control the amount of compression (how much of the light the photo cell responds to). An opto compressor.

It leaves transients alone and averages out the signal over time. Great for bass, guitars, keys, and vocals (in conjunction with another compressor like an 1176 if you need to deal with a vocalist's transients). I use this style of compressor as a leveller.

Waves CLA Classic Compressors We’ll get straight into the classic emulations with this collection from Waves, created with the aid of uber-rock producer Chris Lord-Alge. The four plugins are named ‘CLA-76 ‘Bluey’ and ‘Blacky’ (1176 emulations, fantastic for drums, guitars, bass actually everything), and ‘CLA-2A’ and ‘CLA-3A’ (with the famous original LA2A’s nicely saturated sound). In an interview with Sonic Academy, Audien mentions using Waves CLA-2A @ 19:59. Harmonics in 808s are really important, as are the pitch envelope and transients. I often replace the transient audio with a piece of pink noise I’ve made in a synth. I then compress this using a CLA-2A compressor.

I used a hardware one constantly in 1990's when I was a studio recording engineer. Visualdsp 5 keygen download pc. The Native instruments VC2A is probably my favourite version in a plugin. It responds how I remember it.

Cyber_T Sept 27 2016 Thanx for your professional and detailled answer. And also for the classic tip to combine a la2a- comp with a 1176- style comp (maybe the free 'antress 7th sign'). This combination works also great with snares and it's interessting to experiment with the chain: Sometimes I favourite the 1176 in the first instance, sometimes the la2a.
