Frequently Asked Questions

The T4BLA provides a more pronounced tube-like warmth and saturation than many purely optical designs, offering a more vintage-inspired character.
While it can be used for tracking, the LiN2A really shines on the mix bus or individual tracks needing subtle glue or aggressive limiting.
The VU meter is calibrated for gain reduction and level indication, but isn't a true peak meter; you'll still need a separate peak meter for critical mastering applications.
