Biggest Ever Audio Mixing Contest is ON!
Yes I have the luxury of owning so many pre amps so getting this one was a no brainer. If you have the money this unit is worth it.
I spent most of this review speaking of the preamp, but the compressor is beyond glorious! It slays in every application I throw at it: kick drums, overhead, room, VOCALS (YES!), bass guitar, acoustics…it can give cool special fx with the all buttons in. I love that compressor, the preamp on the other hand was more love/hate. The gain staging is...
Overall, the LA 610 is worth every single penny if you can afford it. If you look around online you can get it in a package with a mic too. That’s probably the best deal instead of just paying that much just for the channel strip itself you mine as well get a mic too. The Universal Audio LA 610 is great and versatile. You will have no complaint...
While a tad more expensive than the original LA-610, the LA-610 MK II boasts a new look and some improvement on the inner make up. In my opinion, like the original, this is ideal for the home studio owner looking for a big sounding channel strip to sit at the top of your collection. It does however have the sound of something that a profession...
The Universal Audio 6176 is overall a very impressive unit. It has a great sound and is very easy to use granted that you know the basics for mic pres, EQ, and compression. While the price is definitely reasonable, it is still probably out of reach for most home studio owners. Having said that, I do think it would make the perfect channel str...
I've been using the LA610 for about 6 months. The thing I like most about it is that it is a compact channel strip that I can use over and over again for my overdubs. I haven't had any complaints, although I wish there were some 1/4'' connections in addition to the XLRs. I've used all sorts of other Universal Audio products (LA-2a, 1176, LA-3a, ...
I do not have this machine because I wanted to try an audio Vintech (clone 1073) and I did not have the budget for the two. I also have a sp Avalon VT737 I do not want to separate myself from everything even if some hate it, I love it because it is totally transparent and pulled me very often difficult situations on singers / Artists who...
I have this channel strip for 2 years now. I use it on all my recordings to give the hots for my shots and it works completely! If I had the choice again I think I will opt for a 2-610 or Neve 1073 DPA with (another register of course) because I find that having the comp output of preamp settings and requires a lot of patience to out good sound ...
soon one year of use a counselor, would do this choice without hesitation
I've had 3 years, value for money correct, I recommend.
