Holy shit
Reading that Teletronix LA-2A Tube Compressor is Native only let's me think I was a fool to buy all the UAD hardware. These plugins are amazing stuff, but the current policy, that many new products are native only, is a very dangerous development.

de-mystifing
Used a few different compressors in my life, some I didnt know if they even did anything! LA-2A i could actually hear what was happening without quality loss. Then a few days ago i watched a you tube video about Dave Gilmour and he's got one in his studio! so if its good enough for him, its more than good enough for me! Thanks U A.

ES LO QUE PARECE: BUENÍSIMO...
Lo he probado en distintos instrumentos y en voz, y reacciona delicadamente otorgándole un color muy especial (y no artificial) a las pistas. Puede ser usado tranquilamente en Mix Buss.

Perfect
This thing is awesome. I have yet to need to mess with the settings. I turn it on with the default settings and it makes everything sound awesome.

Great Plugin But....
Native only?! Seriously?! First they release the Capitol Mastering Compressor, which is an AWESOME plugin btw but, when asked why no DSP version came out, they told us is because most people would be using it for mastering applications and blah blah blah....I wonder what they will say about this one now? C'mon guys show us some UAD love, please! Being able to load it up in Console etc. is the ONE thing that sets you apart, don't let it die out so easily!

crashed in Reaper
Couldn't get it to work in Reaper 6 or 7. As soon as it opened, Reaper just locks up and I need to restart the DAW.
