Priming an LA610 compressor

[alexq]

i some times do this trick when my la2 is popping at the start of a vocal.
Copy a piece of the vocal and paste it just before the start of the actual vocal track, then automate the return of the compressor to be muted for the copied audio and un mute it when the actual vocal starts. This way the compressor is already releasing/working when your vocal track hits it.

I'm super out of it so this post probably won't make much sense. let me know if you have any questions.

hello bud! well I jut got a LA610mkii about 3 days ago and haven't noticed that, I will do some tests with it, try recording again with it and post a clip.
