Limiter: Cla-2a Compressor

Waves CLA-2A is a digital emulation of the legendary Teletronix LA-2A leveling amplifier, a staple in studios since the 1960s. It is celebrated for its "set-and-forget" simplicity and its smooth, tube-driven optical compression that works exceptionally well on vocals and bass. Core Controls Peak Reduction:

In the pantheon of audio recording technology, few pieces of hardware have achieved a status as mythical and enduring as the teletronix LA-2A. Its digital emulation, most famously popularized by Waves as the CLA-2A, represents not just a piece of software, but a bridge to the "Golden Age" of analog recording. For engineers, producers, and musicians, the CLA-2A is more than a utility for controlling dynamics; it is a tool for shaping emotion, adding warmth, and glueing mixes together with a sonic signature that remains unrivaled. cla-2a compressor limiter

Key Features

• Controls: Only two knobs: Peak Reduction (Input/Threshold) and Gain (Output). No Attack, No Release, No Ratio.
