All Votes are final!

This is maybe the first, yet surely the last #poll of its kind, as it is ultimate.

What is your most beloved LA2A - Leveling Amplifier #ITB - Emulation
(Program dependent optical compression, and tube amplifier)?

Didn’t even include the new Softube? Definitely can’t be “the Final and Ultimate” then. ;)

Didnt include so far, as me wasnt sure if its really different to the NI one?
There are some #slots left, so I will be adding the 'missing' ones, once confirmed. :tu:

*edit*

Ok, maybe not so good, as it resets the #poll then. So added the new Softube and still think the List is pretty Ultimate, so lets just go from there. :wink:

Oh, forgot to mention that this #poll is not only ultimate, but also endless.

The photocell resister model is the same as the NI one, but they tweaked just about everything else, including the saturation, oversampling, etc. I keep seeing people saying variations of "same as the NI one" but if you look at what Softube actually said on the matter, it's more nuanced than that. One could use their ears and hear they're different, or even use Plugin Doctor and use their eyes. It's pretty darn good.

That said, I voted TrackComp. You have to color outside the lines a bit because the attack times are much slower than stated, but it's a great one. My top 3 would probably be: TrackComp, UAD, Softube.

They will close down KVR because of a compressor thread? :o

not just "a compressor thread", "the compressor thread!"!

My vote is for MTurboComp, not really the one you find inside, but the one i modified by myself thanks to the advanced edit mode i'm in love with.

Experiencing some subtle random clicks in DMG trackcomp on multiple systems...anyone noticed? My vote goes to Overloud.

Impressor is like LA2A meets Distressor. Voted for it because it sounds great and works where other opto's don't.

Never had clicks with it. You running the latest version? Do you have real-time oversampling maxed out or something?

Post

Oversampling on 1x but looks like I'm not on latest version, will update and test

This #poll will end when KVR closes down, yepp.

OK then. :D I voted for TrackComp because OmniChannel wasn't on the list when I checked it. My most used opto comp.
