The CLA-2A from Waves is a plug-in modeled after the legendary classic compressor/limiter. Like the original electro-optical tube compressor, the plug-in retains the smooth, frequency-dependent behavior that has made the hardware a favorite of engineers everywhere.

The plug-in can also be used on guitars and bass, and shines on vocal performances. The software contains presets developed by Chris Lord-Alge, providing a huge choice of settings for obtaining classic sounding compression and limiting.
