![]() ![]() I find the compression setting to offer slower, less obvious compression, while limit mode is snappier and can induce pumping. An optical compressor by nature is relatively slow compared to its faster FET and VCA cousins. The compression knee gets harder and faster the more you hit the threshold. Compression sits at around a 4:1 ratio while limiting is inf:1. The final control is a compress / limit switch that alters the unit’s ratio and reactive compression curves. A large meter lets you see how many dB of gain reduction you are applying to your signal, and the reaction time. ![]() A gain knob then allows you to seat the results in your mix-that’s all there is to it. A peak reduction (threshold) knob clamps down on incoming transients, reducing their level. With just three controls, the LA-2A was and is one of the easiest compressors to use.
