Instead, they will sound a bit more clear, sit 'in front of' the mix, jump out of the mix at you. The NI - and a few others - won't sound as uniform with the mix, not as enveloped by the mix. If you compare them side-by-side, on the same vocal track, and listen to it with background music on, you'll hear this clearly. I feel the Waves CLA-2A gets that aspect right, as does the Dark Rooster VLA-3A, while the ballistics on the latter two could be slightly less accurate (the fallback seems sluggish to me, particularly on the black rooster). The Ballistics seems very accurate to me, but it just don't bring enough of that dark warm hifi dirt. I very much feel the NI/Softube emulation of the LA2A is one of those emus which sounds a bit too clean. It's got a HIFI quality about it, just sits right in many mixes. It softens it up, scoops out the midrange a bit, and wraps the sound into a warm dark cloud of pleasing saturation. ![]() ![]() The LA series tube compressors, tends to "EQ" the sound slightly. Or to you using the NI: are my ears playing tricks with me?I think I might have a clue of what you're experiencing. ![]() ![]() You people who have the hardware as well: does the hardware also have a slightly harsh quality? I’ve used the NI VC-2A quite a lot on my voice but I’ve started to find it slightly harsh.
