Waves CLA-76 Compressor / Limiter: Compressor/Limiter Plugin

Unlike the smooth sound of optical control-based compressors the CLA-76 models the ultra-fast response and tube-like distortion of FET control circuitry. This plugin models two CLA-76s based on hand-picked hardware that represents the best of the many revisions that were produced. Tight aggressive and with a big bold character the CLA-76 is a favorite of acclaimed mix engineer Chris Lord-Alge. We modeled his two most-prized hardware units “Bluey” and “Blacky ” both perfectly maintained in his studio—so you can have their sound in your mixes.

Features:

• Attack and release times track drum dynamics perfectly
• Modeled preamp distortion gives that extra-aggressive edge
• “Blacky” and “Bluey” models let you choose the ideal tonal color
• Presets created by Grammy-winning mixer Chris Lord-Alge
• Mix control for easy parallel compression
• Exclusive ALL ratio mode delivers explosive compression sound
• Super-fast attack time keeps transients under control
• Leveling-amp design gives consistent control for vocals
• Zero latency for both studio and live mixing
• Trim control for quick level adjustment
