Waves CLA Classic Compressors Plug-ins, Native

Full Description

Chris Lord-Alge is known amongst audio pros for his punchy sound and extreme compression techniques. He has worked with artists including Green Day, U2, Snow Patrol and Santana. The CLA Classic Compressor pack contains four exclusive models of his most prized processors.

CLA-2A Compressor/Limiter

The CLA-2A is a favourite of engineers due to its smooth, frequency-dependent behaviours. The legendary electro-optical tube compressor was a mid-60s classic and sounds great on guitar, bass or vocals.

CLA-3A Compressor/Limiter

The CLA-3A model is based on the popular 70s solid state unit known for its highly transparent compression curve, quick response and subtle harmonic distortion. Ideal for bass, guitar and vocals.

CLA-76 Bluey and Blacky Compressors/Limiters

Within this CLA Classic Compressor pack you get two versions of the CLA-76 - Blacky and Bluey, both based on the mid 60s Class A, line level limiting amp. With superfast attack as quick as 50 microseconds, an exclusive ALL control giving you that explosive "All-Ratio-Buttons-In" mode and modelled pre-amp distortion the CLA-76's can deliver some super edgy, hugely powerful drum sounds.
