I often thought that, anyone think the same? |

Although stephen got a couple of things wrong. The LA3A is not an SSL, its a urei originally, now made by Universal Audio, who also make the LA2A. |
The original Teletronix LA-3A Audio Leveler made its debut at the 1969 New York AES show. Marking a departure from the tube design of the LA-2A Leveling Amplifier, the solid-state LA-3A offered a new sound in optical gain reduction, with faster attack and release characteristics that were noticeably different from its predecessor. Immediately embraced as a studio workhorse, the LA-3A is still widely used today. Engineers and producers the world over favor the LA-3A for its unique compression characteristics and sonic signature. Modeled from a unit in UA’s vintage collection, our digital emulation of the LA-3A faithfully captures the hardware’s sound, working magic on vocals, guitars and drums.
* Definitive solid-state optical compressor
* Modeled from a “golden” vintage unit in UA’s vintage collection
* Gain and peak reduction controls plus metering/power switch
* Front panel Limit/Compress switch
ps. The API 2500 takes a bit to master, however its very versatile. Can't believe I didn't mention that one but I've never really used it so it didn't come to mind. |

UA = Teletronix = UREI actually... The new universal Audio isn't actually the same company who originally owned UREI, I think soudcraft has the rights to that name, despite the fact that teletronix was originally a UREI company. But != SSL;)

| eh, people seem to get confused when it comes to "solid state" / "SSL". yes, its a copy name, but it's also an engineering type of compressor. (ie. a valve compressor) Just because something wasn't made by Solid State Logic (the company) doesn't mean it isn't a solid state compressor (engineering design). yes, confusing, but something to keep in the back of your mind. |

lol. Dude you're very confused.
I don't know anyone who refers to a solid state device as being a solid state logic device. Because solid state logic is a company not a type of device. Devices can be solid state definately, but solid state is the opposite to valve. Valves use... well valves, solid state devices use silicone transistors. |

i think you are the confused one. i just listed, as you said, another type of compressor (valve) when explaining how solid state is a design. i then explained solid state and SSL are not the same thing, which you agreed with...

| I quite often like to use volume automation rather than compression, mind you that's probably because the cubase5 compressor is a bit harsh sounding. |

| The stuff from Sonalksis are really good. |

You said (ie a valve compressor) a solid state compressor is not a valve compressor, they're opposites. Also, you were using the terms SSL and solid state interchangably I think? You said "solid state" / "SSL". yes, its a copy name, but it's also an engineering type of compressor" its not a type of compressor, its just a company name, the type of compressor is a solid state compressor, not a solid state LOGIC compressor.
Meh, anyway, sounds like we agree:) |
