File length is exactly the same as original and they are all normalized to - 5dbFS. Total peak reduction is 5dB at the loudest peaks.
Doc you should be able to import them into your track at the same place as the original for a listen.

Wow that´s wonderful, thanks for doing such work and taking the time to post it here.
However I would also like to note that I personally like to use the LA3A in a "slam it" setting opposed to a 5dB GR setting. I use a 1176 UAD plugin or FATSO tracking comp (which is a 1176 emulation) to take off the peaks and then slam the LA3A with at least 10dB GR. The interesting thing about the LA3A is that above 10dB GR it acts as a limiter while the first 10dB have a more compressor like ratio (that´s what it says in the manual). I did a comparison on vocals a while ago, if I can find the samples I will post them...
Rock on!
