Waves CLA-2A Compressor / Limiter

The CLA-2A models what may be the most coveted and popular hardware compressor/limiter ever made. A favorite of studio engineers everywhere, this studio mainstay has graced countless vocal, bass, guitar, and other instrument tracks for over half a century with its alluring, warm sound.

Behind the strikingly simple interface, the original hardware’s optical-based dynamics processing relies on complex circuit interactions. Modeled from studio legend Chris Lord-Alge’s personally favorite hardware unit, CLA-2A perfectly emulates the original’s response and sound.

  • The legendary electro-optical tube compressor
  • Modeled from Chris Lord-Alge’s personal vintage hardware
  • Natural-sounding even with heavy compression
  • Optimum attack/release times fit vocals like a glove
  • Tube emulation adds musical, harmonic saturation

  • Mix control for easy parallel compression
  • Presets by Chris Lord-Alge for vocals, guitar, bass, drums, more
  • Trim control for quick level adjustment
  • Zero latency for both studio and live mixing
