UTILIZATION
Is a compressor, so the settings are not really many, but it will take me a while to learn to use it.
SOUND QUALITY
I have no comparison in mind. Before VLAI. I used mainly in compressors software Cubase. VLA II is my first stereo compressor hardware.
I use a DBX 160A on my bass and just live, so I have few points here as lair.
Short compared to the soft, compression is much more "musical" (I know it does not mean much, but it is the only adjective that comes to mind), audible but not unpleasant nor exaggerated.
On a full mix, I'm able to what I hoped but it has to come from me and the original mix. On a low C virus, I managed to add lots of distortion and sustain that was lacking a bit behind, interesting.
Big catch on the other hand on a Machinedrum, the attack time is too long, even at the minimum, I always have something that passes without being compressed. So it allows me to add some grain, but I look back either a limiter evening compressor software, and runs very fast for mitigating the problem.
OVERALL OPINION
I do not think the evening VLAI excellent stereo compressor tube. I had little time to test and I have no comparison with higher-end gear hardware.donc my opinion is worth what it's worth.
Having said that, in my opinion a good choice to get an idea of what the hardware (as opposed to soft). There is still a je ne sais quoi that makes VLAI more interesting (and believe me, I have long been a staunch defender of emulation plug ins). € 350 is not that expensive (compared to stuff more than 1000 €).
It seems very simple to change the lights to change a little grain (but nothing crazy in my opinion).
There's cheaper, there's more but VLAI is a good compromise. I took him to learn. I hesitated with an RNC and a JOE MEEK, but the price and the reviews on the net made me opt for the VLA. It belongs to some sources on which it works pretty good. I'm going to vote soon, we'll see if he defends well.
Anyway, part of the result depends on the knowledge that we have the equipment and compression techniques, so I learn. If it is concluded, I will spend a day at the high end stuff.
COOL
