I'm not sure how easily you could get your hands on a Urei / JBL 7110, but unless you've already got some killer compressors and are just looking to add to the collection, I probably wouldn't recommend buying this as your main compressors. Maybe in a small home studio I could see it, but even so I think you could get some plug-ins that would be...
The Urei / JBL 527 A isn't the most popular piece of gear made by Urei, as it definitely seems like these are hard to find, but if you do get a chance to use one I think you'll like what you hear for sure. I'll pretty much always recommend going with a parametric equalizer over a graphic one, but this is definitely an exception when it comes to...
Getting your hands on a Urei/JBL 535 would probably be a pretty tough task as they definitely aren't all that readily available. It isn't the type of gear that I looked for in anyway, as I happened to have it on hand at a professional studio that I was at and decided to give it a try. Generally I will use parametric EQs, but being that this ha...
All in all, the Urei 1178 is a great sounding piece of gear that I can't say a bad thing about. If you've used this or the 1176, you know what I'm talking about. These models have great reputations for a reason and this one has definitely lived up to it in my opinion. Since they no longer make these, they aren't all that easy to find but if y...
I first used the UREI 565 Filter Set about a year ago or so and have found it to be a very cool sounding EQ. While it can be used for traditional EQ means, I love getting creative with this as it opens up new doors in terms of filtering. This isn't an easy unit to come by and unless you find one in a recording studio like I did, you're going t...
I've been using the LA-4 for about four years and I use it whenever I have access to it. It is real clean sounding and its ease of use makes it even more appealing. While it is priced high, it is a high end compressor from a company with a great track record in signal processing. I would compare these to the LA-3s, as they are both in a similar ...
I've been using the LA3A for about four years and whenever I have access to it I will always use it. There are two reasons that this compressor is above the rest - the first is the clean and full compression sound it adds to my tracks. It adds something to a mix and adds a brilliance that not too many compressions will add. The second is the eas...
I first used the LA2A about four years ago and I use it a great deal whenever I have access to it. It is one of the cleanest sounding compressors I have used, and has the reputation as being one of the best compressors. I would compare it to an 1176, an LA3A, or any of the other high end compressors made by Urei. I trust their products because t...
I first used an 1176 LN 3 years ago. I love how easy it is to get a great sound out of this. I use many other compressors fairly regularly and this one holds its own. It has a reputation for being a sturdy machine that is easy to use and that produces a clean signal. In terms of price it is probably a bit pricey for the home studio budget but it...
