Antress Modern VLME rocks!!!

I have liked a few of the Antress plugs(Fairchildish VFME) but this one is great. It's a diff. take on the LA2a. I dont think it has program dependent attack or release times, but it does sound really good. It functions with the same ease of use as the La2a, but you can crank up the output and get some nice grinding saturation/limiting with it. One of my complaints about the UAD La2a is that the output just turns it up and dosn't do what the analog unit does, which is to soften up/saturate at higher output gains. The Antress VLME dosn't really sound exactly like an La2a but it does some wonderful things...try it out, you'll probably like it on something.

I like the VLME also. The UAD La2a is oversampled so its a little smoother, and its also a little darker than the VLME. To get a more accurate emulation of a real analog LA2A I use the Fab Filter set up with opto, auto release, etc, and then put Colortone Pro after it with the LA2A preset. Sounds and feels very similar to the otb LA2A. YMMV
