Had the pleasure of testing out my VP28's-->LA500's today against a Universal Audio LA610. Smoked it. Not really even close.
Just sayin.

Out of all the pre-amps and compressors I've ever tried, the UA LA610 and API 512C / 525 are about the only two combos that's actually made enough of a difference worth caring about. And they're completely at the opposite side of the spectrum from each other, the LA610 is a tricky bugger to get just right as well. Both of them are great for there respective applications. |

Punchy as hell. Incredible on acoustic instruments. I find I like it on everything the VP28 sounds good on...and lots of times I tend to like it a little more.

I want a Heider too. Just wish there was a build option.... i don't like spending that much on a preamp. (although I probably will end up getting one eventually).
Shadowamd, I can't say that they're better on everything obviously, but for this particular vocalist, singing into a DIY u87 with a heiserman capsule, it sounded like it was more "record ready" off the bat, more presence in the mids, not too much though, and also seemed slightly more detailed. The LA610 sounded more scooped and even dull. Just uninteresting by comparison. Perfectly usable, just needed a touch of eq.

The LA610 sounded more scooped and even dull. Just uninteresting by comparison. Perfectly usable, just needed a touch of eq. I used them on bass mostly, sounded PHAT! Although in the end it didn't really work in a metal studio with vocalists often opting for an SM7B. The LA610 was a nice playtoy until e-bay took it away... That's why I like API with there respective clones and Daking, they pretty much just work on anything. |
