I just bought the TLA - 100A plugin, and I must say, it's making my instruments sound so much better! That saturation knob is brilliant... not just because it adds some color & warmth, but because it sounds amazing!!! That's the main reason I wanted that plugin. The saturation is one of, if not THE best I've heard! I also like to use the wet/dry knob, because it's not good to go all wet, and it does nothing if it's all dry. If you find that sweet spot after you've set the other settings, it does its job very well.
I've been looking for a great all around channel strip. I have a bunch but they couldn't do what I wanted and I didn't like the compression. I love the compression and eq and saturation all in one on this and it's nice and big and easy to use.
Nice review, but I always prefer having the bypass moments with matching gains, so as to be able to chek the real effect of the plugin. Thanks anyway, I received an offer and I think I´ll pass this time, this one doesn´t do any thing new for my arsenal
I love how this channel doesn't get any mention really. It's come and gone under the radar. Also Summit Audio company isn't as known as your SSLs or APIs etc. It's quite possibly the most underrated and best sounding channel there is in software today. The only thing that will replace this for me is the Neve Shelford module once I have enough to put together 8 modules. Once the Neve arrives I'll recommend this highly. Until then, don't buy this strip it's sh!t. :p
