I am trying to round out my compressor selection. Other that the stock comps that come with Sonar I have the softube FET which is based on the 1176 and the Focusrite Red 3 for my VCA needs so I guess I need an opto style, which do you guys think is better for modern Rock music, the 2A or 3A? I can really only get 1.Thanks for your opinions! dude24man Max Output Level: -83 dBFS Total Posts : 357 Joined: 2005/03/24 07:30:48 Status: offline Re: Waves CLA 2A & 3A which one? 2016/10/01 20:32:36 (permalink) stm113cw Max Output Level: -88 dBFS Total Posts : 120 Joined: 2014/09/26 11:23:12 Status: offline Re: Waves CLA 2A & 3A which one? 2016/10/01 20:38:02 (permalink) Ideally I would like to but I really only need to spend the money on 1 right now. cclarry Max Output Level: 0 dBFS Total Posts : 20964 Joined: 2012/02/07 09:42:07 Status: offline Re: Waves CLA 2A & 3A which one? 2016/10/01 21:07:53 (permalink) the CLA-2A is the classic LA-2A..the 3A is a more modern versionso it would depend on what you were after... stm113cw Max Output Level: -88 dBFS Total Posts : 120 Joined: 2014/09/26 11:23:12 Status: offline Re: Waves CLA 2A & 3A which one? 2016/10/01 22:11:21 (permalink) So I've read a lot about both tonight. I lean towards the 3A because from everything I've read it seems to have more depth and dimensionality to it, but I lean towards the 2A because in reading it seems to have more character. Most of what I do is modern Hard Rock/ Metal type stuff.Are either of them good to use on a master bus for gluing a mix? stm113cw Max Output Level: -88 dBFS Total Posts : 120 Joined: 2014/09/26 11:23:12 Status: offline Re: Waves CLA 2A & 3A which one? 2016/10/01 22:29:06 (permalink) Though Modern Hard Rock is what I am into doing I'm not

A fan of the over the top super squashed mixes where instruments seem smeared all over eachother as opposed to glued together..Thought it'd be worth mentioning that. post edited by stm113cw - 2016/10/01 23:03:47 Fleer Max Output Level: 0 dBFS Total Posts : 8715 Joined: 2014/08/29 10:17:45Location: Boston/Cambridge Status: offline Re: Waves CLA 2A & 3A which one? 2016/10/01 23:45:12 (permalink) Just wondering if Slate's upcoming FG-Stress (authorized Distressor plugin) wouldn't be a better choice. Note that you need iLok though. Intro price will be $149 but it covers all sorts of comps including opto.

It odes have some great "character" with it. Especially on vocals and clean guitar. If this helps, do you have the CW CA-2A plug? If so, then it's a real close (I think better) to the CLA-2A. So you have that covered. Grab the 3A and see what you think. You can demo them (CLA-2a/3A) both also.

With the fewest options, making it hard to screw them up and easy to get the results you want.There’s no set controls for the attack or release unlike on most any other type of compressor. This is because the attack and release are tied to and vary based on the amount of signal you’re feeding into the compressor.The “knee” is gradual and as such the compression is much more transparent with an optical compressor. Moreover and by virtue of how the opto compressor works, there’s not much in the way of “coloring” the tone like you get with tube or even transistor based compressors.When to Use an Optical CompressorOptical compressors work especially well on vocals in particular because they’re so effective in creating that extra bit of glue or constant presence in a vocal without hearing the compressor working (which goes back to its transparency).As such I like to put one or even two in my vocal chain at different points to smooth out the signal after I’ve introduced a FET compressor to grab the peaks before them.Best Optical CompressorWaves CLA-2A – The optical compressor I find myself reaching for the most is the CLA-2A from Waves. It’s got a clean and simple interface, and once again like with the CLA-76, it’s got a handful of helpful presets for finding the sweet spot to compress your signal with fast.Best Free Optical CompressorVariety of Sound ThrillseekerLA – This is a solid 2A style optical compressor from VoS which won’t cost you

Response of optical compressors, and Electro, which offers a faster and more aggressive sound. You can also adjust the attack and release times, the ratio, the threshold, the output gain, and the knee shape. Additionally, you can use the ARC (Automatic Release Control) feature, which automatically adjusts the release time according to the input signal. Renaissance Vox Renaissance Vox is a compressor designed specifically for vocals. It can help you achieve a smooth and consistent vocal level with minimal effort. You can adjust the compression amount, the output gain, and the gate threshold. Renaissance Vox also has a built-in de-esser that reduces sibilance and harshness in your vocal tracks. SSL E-Channel & G-Channel SSL E-Channel and G-Channel are plugins that emulate the EQ and dynamics sections of two classic SSL consoles: the SSL 4000 E-Series and the SSL 4000 G-Series. Both plugins offer a four-band parametric EQ with high-pass and low-pass filters, a compressor/limiter with variable threshold, ratio, attack, release, and makeup gain, and an expander/gate with variable range, threshold, attack, hold, and release. The main difference between the two plugins is that the E-Channel has a slightly more aggressive sound than the G-Channel, which is more smooth and warm. SSL G Master Buss Compressor SSL G Master Buss Compressor is a plugin that emulates the master buss compressor of the SSL 4000 G-Series console. This compressor is famous for its ability to glue a mix together and add punch and cohesion to your tracks. You can adjust the threshold, ratio, attack, release, and makeup gain of the compressor, as well as activate the auto-fade and auto-release functions. You can also use the analog switch to add some subtle harmonic distortion to your signal. CLA-76 Compressor / Limiter CLA-76 Compressor / Limiter is a plugin that emulates two versions of the classic FET compressor/limiter: the blacky (based on the UREI 1176LN) and the bluey (based on the blue-stripe revision B). Both versions have a fast and punchy sound that works great on drums, bass, guitars, vocals, and more. You can adjust the input and output levels, the ratio, the attack and release times, and the all-buttons mode, which creates a more extreme compression effect. You can also switch between the blacky and the bluey models with a single click. CLA-2A Compressor / Limiter CLA-2A Compressor / Limiter is a plugin that emulates the classic tube compressor/limiter: the Teletronix LA-2A. This compressor has a smooth and warm sound that works well on vocals, guitars, bass, and more. You can adjust the peak reduction, the gain, and the compression mode (compress or limit). You can also use the analog switch to add some subtle noise and distortion to your signal. Reverbs and
