When "mastering" my latest tune, I put on the UAD-1 LA2A and noticed that it sucked out the low end quite audibly with even 2-3dB attenuation. Now I (and many others) have always thought of this thing to be quite transparent, but in this case it was quite audible how it was affecting the tonal balance of the mix in a negative way. I tried several other things, but in the end I just settled on "New York" type compression thing where I duplicated the track, heavily compressed the duplicate and layered it below the original. I'm pleased with the overall results... anyways... sorry I got side-tracked there.
My question here is for those that have experience with the actual hardware unit. How does it work? Does it affect the tonal balance in this way? Just curious.
