Frequently Asked Questions

Analog VCAs offer a more 'glued-together' feel, often perceived as more musical, while digital processors provide more precise parameter control and recall.
That ultra-fast attack is perfect for taming transient peaks like drums or aggressive vocals without overly softening the overall sound.
The crossover frequencies are fixed, designed for broad, effective band separation, but this does limit customization compared to some more complex digital alternatives.
