What are the actual attack and release times on the TLA-100A?
The nomenclature on the TLA-100A is a little vague because the settings are a little vague. The way we design our compressor circuits make them react in a very musical manner so the timing circuits can vary. For example, when the compressor is put in medium release and a very quick signal, like a snare drum, comes through, the release time is quite a lot faster than if a slower, more legato signal like a voice comes through. So you can see why we don’t have specific markings.
