This is what a guy said on cakewalk about the LA-2ME

ORIGINAL:  Billy Buck

ORIGINAL:  Phrauge

ORIGINAL:  daverich
I imagine he's waiting to see if UA complain.

You think UA would have a problem with that?

Since the developer is not offering his plugins for sale (basicallly freebies) and does not make any claims that his plugin is an "authentic" emulation of the original I don't think UA should be too concerned about it. I did a few side by side comparisons between the UAD-1 LA-2A & the Antress LA-2ME plugins and besides the obvious similarities in the GUI & plugin names there is not much else in common. The The LA-2ME acts and behaves, especially the Gain & Peak Reduction
controls, quite differently than the real hardware and the UAD-1 LA-2A plugin that faithfully emulates it. I think Antress missed the part about component modeling of the LA-2A's unique T4 cell which is heart and soul of the LA-2A sound. []The LA-2ME sounds more aggressive and grainy when pushed. Not saying that it is a bad plugin, but that it is not a "clone" of a real LA-2A or the UAD-1 plugin version, even though it may look like one.

Just one example, on the LA-2A (hardware or UAD-1 plugin version), turn the gain knob down to "0" you will not hear any audio coming through, even though the actual track fader is set @ 0.00dB and your source audio track is playing. This is normal LA-2A behavior. But on the LA-2ME the audio still passes through @ "0" "Gain" setting, at whatever you have your track fader volume set to. It is just kinda weird if you are used to using an actual LA-2A (hardware or UAD-1 plugin). I am not slamming the LA-2ME, but just want to be clear for those that have not used an LA-2A that they are indeed different, in how they behave and sound

Having said that, I really do like his Analoger plugin, especially in Hi-Res mode. In Hi-Res mode it upsamples
to 2x your project sample rate. So in a 44K SONAR project it will upsample to 88k. I like putting the Input & Level controls @ about 10 o'clock, Color @ a tad over "0" with the Hi-Res enabled for a little subtle analog warmth. NICE! []

So I shouldn't ditch my UAD-1 card just yet hehe.  Still look like great plugins, and best of all they are free

Anyone heard about the UAD Xpander, which will bring the UAD plugins to the Mac PowerBook laptop - I think the web site says "coming soon", but I couldn't find a lot of other information about it.

Looks like they posted a couple of new plugs on the site!

I like them. Some of the newer eq's and modules are interesting.
