Drum Bus Gold!
on 2023-12-29
Duuuuude!! I was struggling with the drums in this specific track. Inserted the 260VU on the drum buss in parallel and WOW!! This thing Rocks! I have a D-comp handling programmed drum duties and the 260VU is on the real drums. I’m over smashing it but I love the sound for this more hiphop track I’m working on. A little more glue on the AudioScape bus comp on the mix buss. It’s really helping me with my production process to get amazing and inspiring results much faster. Just insert it on a aux buss in Pro Tools, turn a few knobs and say “Yeaaah man!” Keep up the incredible work!

Nothing Short Of Amazing
on 2023-11-17
I just purchased the Audioscape XL305R Reverb plug in and I am not surprised. The quality and sound are nothing short of amazing. I have had Audioscape's Optocomp, Their 1176 blue stripe and currently the 1176 black face. The quality is excellent and the sound is spot on. This reverb plug in has the warmth and transparency that you would expect from high end reverb units such as Bricasti,TC Electronics as well as the mighty 480L. sits perfectly on a vocals. Id highly recommend this plug in to anyone that wants an incredible sounding reverb. Pete Lord Heartfelt Studios

Magic!

I really don’t know how they do it but it seems to be some sort of wizardry. First the build quality is gorgeous. The sound of the compressor sounds absolutely fantastic. I had a unit which I sold in order to purchase this one. It to was an SSL buss comp. That unit was very good, but believe me when I say it. This one is incredible in comparison and far superior in every way. It truly is something special. The craftsmanship and the sound is simply magic!

Title: 1ST AS PIECE OF GEAR AND DAAAMN!!!
Rating: 5
Description: Not much I can add to the reviews below, so I’ll just offer my experience. Never used an actual 2a, just the UAD versions and a dual channel hardware opto from a reputable manufacturer who also makes a well known vari-mu and mics. I run a modest professional production studio and heard about Audioscape from another producer…did some online research, and all the glowing reviews led me to purchasing this unit. I can say that this thing KILLS both any plugs I’ve used as well as my stereo opto (which is now going up for sale). This unit has a thickness and 3D sound that I’ve never been able to get before while tracking. It’ll now be my primary tracking compressor for vocals, acoustic guitar and bass. So impressed that I ordered a D-Comp as well. Also can’t believe how fast these guys answer e-mails, amazing service! AS, you guys are killing it, don’t ever change! :)
Best Vocal Compressor I've Ever Used
on 2023-09-24
Like everyone, I used plugin versions of LA-2A's for years. I was always impressed by how smooth and musical this style of compression is. I finally decided to try a hardware version, and landed on the Opto after a lot of research. It's been in my vocal chain for several months now and it surpasses the plugins in every way. It adds a thickness and presence to vocals that I absolutely love. Compared to the Opto, the plugins that I used (which were very good) feel a little thin and shallow. I've also found that I can push the hardware further before the compression becomes obvious. I'm a huge fan of AudioScape and have bought several other compressors since getting the Opto. Highly recommend!
