Each covers a different style of compression, so between them they handle vocals, drums, bass, guitars and buses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe CLA-2A recreates the classic optical levelling amplifier, with smooth valve-coloured compression that suits vocals and bass. The CLA-3A models the solid-state 1970s limiter, combining a fast attack with a gentle optical release for punchy drums and guitars. The CLA-76 covers two versions of the 1176-style FET limiter, 'blue' and 'black', each with its own gain stage and harmonic character and the famous all-buttons mode. Mix and trim controls are added to every plugin for quick parallel compression, and optional hiss and hum can be switched in for full analogue authenticity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModelled on Chris Lord-Alge's personal vintage hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCLA-2A optical compressor\/limiter for smooth levelling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCLA-3A solid-state compressor\/limiter for punchy dynamics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCLA-76 FET limiter in 'blue' and 'black' versions with all-buttons mode\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMix control for parallel compression and trim for level matching\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptional analogue hiss and hum, and presets from Chris Lord-Alge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded plugins:\u003c\/strong\u003e CLA-2A Compressor \/ Limiter, CLA-3A Compressor \/ Limiter and CLA-76 Compressor \/ Limiter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSupplied as a digital download with a perpetual licence.
