Arturia
Tame peaks with studio-grade VCA compression and sculpt sidechain behavior through frequency-specific detection for surgical control over any mix element.
Where to get itAvailable from Waveswaves.com
The CLA-2A is a vintage tube-based optical compressor plugin modeled on the original 1960s Teletronix hardware, featuring an electro-luminescent T4 optical attenuator and program-dependent multi-stage release. It delivers the signature warm, musical compression character favored by Grammy-winning mixing engineer Chris Lord-Alge, with authentic analog behavior including harmonic distortion, variable release times, and hum modeling.
