Does the CL1A have any iron in the path I wonder? IIRC there was different versions of the Red3 some with only iron on the output and some versions with both input and output? |

You’re correct about the Red 3. This is one of the early Reds with input & output transformers. I don’t think the C1LA has any iron but maybe someone else will know for sure. |

There are not transformers in any of the Smart compressors.

Very nice! .... is it your own Red 3? |

Very nice! .... is it your own Red 3? It is! Congrats! I was about to grab one a couple of years ago but blew my budget on Thermionic hardware for my stereo bus. I regret not pushing our the boat and getting it as well, as the price was good. I think they are very special compressors. Oddly the other units in the Red range I never really cared for, a close friend had the Red 1 quad pre I borrowed from time to time and I had the Red 7 channel strip. They were OK and built like tanks but compared to the Red 3, for me they never had the same magic. |

Sometimes… I’m all over the place. Honestly, most of the time I’m just on the SSL compressor in the Duality. Sometimes I add the Red 3 or the Manley Vari-Mu to that. Sometimes the SSL compressor just isn’t the thing at all and the Red 3 is definitely the thing. Sometimes the Red 2 or the Massive Passive follows and of it. I definitely try not to do anything in a mastering direction (mastering is definitely not my talent), but when it’s clearly the right direction, I go with it.
I really like the Red 2 and 3 for really clean productions or when very colorful types of compression and eq has already been used heavily while tracking and adding more of that would be too much.
