Color generally refers to a specific or signature sound that a piece of gear gives to a track or tracks of audio. When you hear the term uncolored or clean it means that that compressor, mic or whatever have you allows the audio to run through without affecting the tone of the audio. You have clean compressors and then you have tube compressors, tube compressors will almost always change the tone of a sound. Transformers, circuit design, and various tubes all can change the color that a plug or piece of gear infuses into the audio. This is the short exclamation now you can research more if you want.

When we talk about, "color," what exactly does that mean we're speaking of? Also, would it be correct to say that the CLA2A is a form of a compressor, or would you all say it's more a limiter? How would it be classified? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chris Smart" <csma...@cogeco.ca> To: <ptaccess@googlegroups.com> Sent: Sunday, March 06, 2016 6:19 PM Subject: Re: new song from me The CLA2A has a fair amount of color. Usually for mastering, you want limiting and compression that is transparent. But hey, try it. There are no rules.
