Another one in the same vein, but simpler: I have the affinity preamp, apart from being a good allround pre, it excels as a memory-less limiter. Whenever I need a vocal part with some "hair" on, I turn to the HCL. Last week I had this part with long notes and I made sure the pre simply flat-out clipped, needle glued in the red. Allright, but this thing clips with mostly K2 and just some K3 - the singer did NOT hear any clipping at all. The waveform looked sheared off (duration 5 seconds!) all the same. Which other pieces of gear does that job? Not too many. Thumbs up for HCL.
