The Waves CLA-2A compressor is one of my favorites and it is one of the most popular plugins that Waves offers. The CLA-2A is a frequency dependent compressor that was modeled by an old, classic tube compressor called the LA-2A.īecause it is frequency dependent, that makes the CLA-2A slightly slower than other compressors, especially because there is no need for attack time or release, but that means it is smoother. It is not known for having any harshness and it colors the audio just enough to give it a smooth sound rather than overdoing it like other digital compressors often do. The CLA-76 looks more like what the stock compressors you would find in Logic Pro X, but it is far superior in terms of sound. The CLA-76 features input and output knobs, attack and release knobs, and ratio buttons. In the ratio section you will find a button that says ‘ALL’ which is a control that recreates the explosive mode that made the original piece of hardware so popular in tandem with its lightning fast attack. The compressor also provides preamp distortion that helps make your drums stand out. That being said, the CLA-76 is best for drums, but also sounds great on guitar, vocals, and bass. It is very snappy and also adds the analog sound that is desired by many producers. I suggest that you use this specifically on drums or anything that has a percussive rhythm to it.
