[Download] This compressor is exactly what I was looking for. Transparent, smooth, and powerful. The double-knee system is unique and sounds terrific. The auto-attack & release are so good I never turn them off. Lastly, the ability to add subtle harmonics to the output gain adds that little bit of glisten.

[Download] Having been in the studio business for 11 years now, and having acquired...and disposed of many pieces of gear over the years that just didn't cut it in one way or another, I would like to say how much I have been enjoying this piece in the studio here these last couple weeks. The Pro-VLA II - Compressor/Leveler by ART is a bargain at 5 times the price, easily! It's well-built and does exactly what it is designed to do. The unit is currently residing on my console's 2-buss along an A-Designs Hammer EQ. A very nice combination indeed! I will not hesitate to put this to use in a vocal chain (say, following an 1176 in series), or using it similarly for bass guitar. The unit compresses well. It can be pushed a bit harder than most compressors and still remain relatively transparent. The tube stage gives the compression a nice 'girth'...a subtle coloring that brings mix elements together very cohesively. The Pro-VLA II - Compressor/Leveler by ART has found a home here at the studio alongside, Manley, Universal Audio, Urei, Crane Song and a host of other fine, venerable manufacturers of compression units. I don't think this one is going anywhere any time soon! I think this is one of the best bargains going in the audio business at this time!

[Download] Sounds amazing. Works great on any individual track and especially on the mix bus.

[Download] I am an electronic producer and use Ableton quite a lot. I recently acquired the Uhbik FX bundle and what can I say? This bundle is an amazing deal for the money! Each element of this package provides a powerful, complex set of options in a neat and intuitive package. The beauty of these effects is that they maintain their complexity without sacrificing a simple and easy to understand user interface.

[Download] Needed a compressor that would tame dynamics of a singer in a live setting with huge dynamic range. This worked wonderfully.

[Download] I wanted to try a compressor to pick up my low tones and knock down some of the peaks while singing live. The only other compressor I had used was a 1 knob on the XENYX1832 mixer. I paired this with a Pro MPA2 pre-amp also an ART product, and been very pleased with it for vocals and an electric guitar. I had been looking around at compressors for a while, and finally just ordered it up. I am glad I did and would do it again. No complaints at all, and have recommended it to my friends already. This was my first purchase from B&H, but will not be my last. Fast delivery even though it was Christmas time. Packaging was also very good.

[Download] If you are looking for a great compressor, try this one. It has everything I need, it's easy to setup all the settings. I'm using it for recording and on the final master of my songs BUT I never use a lot of db reduction... just enough to my ears. If you set the threshold a little too much, it will be over compressed. But when it's used in the good way, it sounds really great !
