Waves CLA-76 - FET Compressor Limiter Plugin
Waves CLA-76 - FET Compressor Limiter Plugin
Waves CLA-76 models the ultra-fast response and tube-like distortion of FET compression, unlike the smoother sound of optical designs. Tight, aggressive and bold, it is a favourite of acclaimed mix engineer Chris Lord-Alge.
Waves modelled his two most-prized hardware units, "Bluey" and "Blacky", both perfectly maintained in his studio, so you can choose the ideal tonal colour for your mix.
- Two models: "Bluey" and "Blacky"
- Attack and release times that track drum dynamics
- Exclusive ALL ratio mode for explosive compression
- Modelled preamp distortion for an aggressive edge
- Super-fast attack keeps transients under control
- Leveling-amp design for consistent vocal control
