Cla-2a Compressor Limiter

Because the CLA-2A combines compression and saturation, the best way to use it is backwards from normal.

This is a hidden gem in the Waves version. It removes the capacitor from the feedback loop, allowing more low-end to pass through the compression circuit. Engage R37 when you are compressing a kick drum or a bass synth to prevent the compressor from "pumping" on the low frequencies. cla-2a compressor limiter

The CLA-2A Compressor Limiter, modeled after the legendary LA-2A, is a highly sought-after plugin that brings the warmth and character of the original hardware to your digital productions. Developed by Universal Audio in collaboration with WesAudio, this compressor has been a staple in the audio engineering world for decades, renowned for its smooth, program-dependent compression and limiting capabilities. Because the CLA-2A combines compression and saturation, the

: Allows you to filter out certain frequencies (like low-end) from the detection circuit, preventing the compressor from overreacting to heavy bass. Analog Realism Toggles Engage R37 when you are compressing a kick
