I suspect you just don't like this kind of compression. :-)

Seriously, it's not for everyone. LA2A's, Vari-MU's, and 33609's are all popular buss compressors and they sound nothing like the SSL. The SSL makes everything sound more in-your-face, maybe that's not a quality you're going for?
Sorry for the silly question but isn't La 2a way too slow for bus?

Which bus? I think it's fit for buses.You can use it for vocal bus and drum bus to glue with slow release.Even you can use it on master bus.LA2A can do nice volume control.

It's certainly not my favorite but I've found that it can work at 1dB GR. The first half of the Shadow Hills Mastering Compressor is an LA3-style opto compressor.

I admit, I don't understand 50% of what is being said here.

I just thought the whole point was to have COMPRESSED that you blend with the dry....it's either a desired effect or it isn't. I use it primarily on acoustic drums.
