UAD LA-2A vs Waves CLA-2A.

Hey Everyone, Mr. Rude is back with an interesting blog post for those of you who know about the virtual LA-2A compressor plugins that are on the market today. I know that I may be jumping around as far as topics are concerned but I post what I feel at the time so please forgive me. Today some well known manufacturers of plugins such as Waves and UAD are diving into the past with some replications of some of the best old-school analog gear that has been used for decades. What I decided to do was post a video that compares two versions of the LA-2A Compressor from these manufacturers and let you decide which one is best or if there is any difference between the two. Although no virtual piece of gear will ever come close to being an exact copy of the real thing I beleive that the people behind these plugins are doing an awesome job with what there coming up with for the digital world. Again, I'll let you make up your mind to which sounds best and I hope you enjoy. Thanks to everyone for viewing my blog and I appreciate you comments. PEACE!!!!

P.S. I own the Waves version and it is an awesome plugin with lots of power!!!!!

Mr.Rude Video Blog

Hello everyone, Mr. Rude is back with another post for all those who have a love for audio. This week I'm taking a different approach by introducing a book that I have had the opportunity of reading and studying. The book is called "Understanding Audio" by Daniel M. Thompson. It is a book that has  very good and useful information for anyone who would like some in depth coverage about many aspects in the audio world. This book is a text book so it may be a little hard to read at first but if you go chapter by chapter it will all begin to make sense eventually. If there are any questions please feel free to post them on my blog and I will will be happy to answer them for you. Thanks again to all those who view my blog! I look forward to posting some new stuff in the future. Peace

Episode 2 - Sound Behaviour Part 2

Hello everyone, Mr. Rude is back with some more knowledge that I think everyone who is interested in audio should know. A couple of weeks ago I posted Episode 1- Sound Behavior which discussed Sound Propagation and how different frequencies affect the way we hear things. In this episode the discussion focuses on Phase relationships and describes Constructive interference, destructive interference, and the 3:1 rule. This episode also talks about reflective surfaces and boundary behavior. In the reflective surface discussion the subjects that are focused upon are reflection, diffraction, transmission, and refraction. As you guys can see we are know beginning to get into some pretty technical stuff so if there are any questions about any of these terms please feel free to comment with questions. To all of you who already have knowledge about this stuff please feel free to just comment. This kind of information is really important to those of us who have a passion for audio and how sound works. I invite you to view this post and I hope you enjoy. Thanks to all of you who have been watching and commenting on my blog, I l look forward to posting new stuff in the future. THANKS AGAIN!!! PEACE
