Best free LA-2A compressor plugins: Get that classic sound without paying a penny
Sep 18, 2026 · original
In the audio world, a few compressors are notorious for their timeless sound. The LA-2A is one of them. There are plenty of great paid options, but you might want to try it first. That’s why we put together this list of the best free LA-2A plugins. It’s an optical design that uses a photosensor to read the incoming signal and the compression circuit reacts accordingly. This is very different than something like a FET compressor like the 1176 . Outboard units are simple to operate, with control over the compression itself and then makeup gain. This somewhat limited the extent of what it could do, but with plugin versions of the LA-2A companies have added in all kinds of unique and useful features to accommodate modern recording. This style of compressor offers smooth, gentle compression with a slower attack that is fantastic on vocals , guitars, and sources that don’t have fast transients
Best phaser pedals: Make your signal swoosh
Sep 18, 2026 · original
Phaser pedals are one of the “big three” categories of modulation pedals, along with chorus and flanger pedals . They work by creating one or more notch filters and modulating the center frequency or frequencies. By creating peaks and dips in the signal’s frequency spectrum it creates a swirling sound with movement that adds a somewhat three-dimensional vibe to a signal. While at one time there were just a few analog phaser pedals available, now there are all-analog, digital only models – and everything in between. Best phaser pedal overall: BOSS PH-3 Best phaser pedal overall BOSS PH-3 A versatile phaser with vintage and modern sounds.

Fender Motion 32 review: Native Studio Pro control
Sep 15, 2026 · original
Fender’s acquisition of PreSonus has meant a slew of new Fender-branded recording products, including some more focused on MIDI. The first Fender-branded MIDI-controller is called the Fender Motion 32, and it’s the larger of two new MIDI controllers, built with 32 RGB velocity-sensitive pads with polyphonic aftertouch, and developed with Italian keybed specialist FATAR. As you would expect from a Fender/PreSonus product, the controller comes bundled with plenty of great software. Fender bundles a perpetual license for Fender Studio Pro, its renamed version of PreSonus Studio One Pro — a DAW that has seriously come into its own over the past few years. But, how does the Fender Motion 32 actually perform — and is it worth buying against a slew of great-quality controllers in this price range? I’ve been testing it to find out for myself.

Soundcraft Signature Plus 12 review
Sep 9, 2026 · original
Soundcraft has long made some of the better live mixing equipment. The Soundcraft Signature series in particular has been a fixture in the small-format analog mixer world, and the new Signature Plus line is its long-awaited next generation. The Signature Plus 12 is designed to be an all-you-need board that bundles in Ghost preamps, Sapphyre EQ, and Lexicon effects — all into one sturdy, feature-rich console. The new consoles are designed to do more than serve as live sound consoles though. Just like many audio interfaces are starting to bundle in more live sound features, live sound consoles are bundling in audio interface features. Many recent models support full multitrack recording. The Soundcraft Signature Plus 12 has some of those features — but is limited to being a 4×4 USB interface, rather than supporting the same level of multitrack recording that some of its competitors offer.
