Analog Obsession has released LALA, a freeware emulation of the LA-2A tube compressor in VST, VST3, and AU plugin formats for digital audio workstations on PC and Mac.
Jan 20, 2016 We deliver full cracked softwares like UAD Universal Audio Plugins Bundles download cracked ready to be downloaded in cracked version with. Surely it has to be the legendary Teletronix LA-2A tube based optical “levelling. Download Free Compressor AU VST Plugins & VSTi Instruments Here is our. UAD Ultimate Crack software added all plug-in titles up to UAD software v9.
LALA is Analog Obsession’s first emulation of the LA-2A Classic Leveling Amplifier. The plugin delivers all the core features of the original hardware unit, along with some extras such as an external sidechain input, a 3-band sidechain filter, and a mix control knob for quick and easy parallel compression.
The original LA-2A hardware is based on a tube-driven electro-optical attenuator circuit. It is famous for delivering gentle and warm compression that works magically well on vocals. Analog Obsession’s freeware plugin isn’t a detailed circuit-level emulation of the original, but it is definitely inspired by the real LA-2A compressor.
As is the case with the original LA-2A unit, LALA’s main control parameters are the Gain and Peak Reduction knobs. These two controls are used to set the amount of dynamic range reduction that is applied to the signal. Additionally, the user can engage the sidechain input, which can be shaped using the built-in filter. Finally, the Mix knob will mix the clean and compressed audio signal on the output.
Some users wanted to see the famous optical limiter-compressor from me. And after some hard work, it’s finally ready to release!
LALA is available for free download from Analog Obsession’s recently-launched Patreon page. The software is compatible with VST, VST3, and AU plugin hosts. Keep in mind that only 64-bit digital audio workstations are supported. For more LA-2A style compression, check out the excellent AdHd Leveling Tool plugin by AudioTools.
Analog Obsession moved all of their plugins to Patreon a few months ago. All plugins (including those that weren’t freeware originally) can now be downloaded for free, with optional donations if you want to support the developer.

The LA-2A is arguably one of the most popular compressors ever invented. Revered for its rich, warm tone and smooth, musical compression characteristics, the LA-2A has been a favorite amongst engineers for over 50 years.
In this article, we’ll break down some of the most popular LA-2A emulations to help you determine which one is right for you.
Teletronix LA-2A
The LA-2A was the first compressor to use a tube-driven optical attenuator to achieve gain reduction. The T4 optical attenuator is entirely program-dependent, allowing the compression ratio and release time to vary greatly based on the source material.
The average attack time is fixed at 10 milliseconds, but the LA-2A’s signature sound comes from its unique release characteristic. The initial release time is fixed at 60 milliseconds for 50% of the release, and anywhere from one to 15 seconds for the full release, depending on the program material.
Due to the largely automatic nature of the LA-2A, it features very simple controls: Peak-Reduction knob, Gain Control for make-up gain, and a Limit/Compress switch to adjust the compression ratio.
About the Audio Files
We put some of our favorite LA-2A emulations to the test on drums, bass and vocals with approximately 3 to 5 dB of gain reduction.

Universal Audio offers one of the most accurate LA-2A emulations available, which makes sense since they own the patent. While it doesn’t offer any new features, it does an excellent job of capturing the LA-2A’s signature sound and analog warmth.
In addition to the standard LA-2A Classic, Universal Audio also offers the LA-2A Classic Leveler Plugin Collection, which features emulations of the original “Gray” Teletronix version, the reissued “Silver” UREI version, and the exceptionally rare predecessor to the LA-2A, the LA-2. Each model offers a slightly different take on the iconic sound.
For the purposes of this shootout, we used the “classic” leveling amplifier.
As always, you’ll need some form of UAD DSP hardware to support these plugins.

PSP’s MixPressor2 is easily the most advanced LA-2A-style compressor available. It emulates the classic characteristics of valve and opto-compressors as well as modern compression designs.
The MixPressor2 features fully variable attack and release times, including automatic settings. It also offers options for look-ahead compression for a more modern sound, as well as selectable RMS and peak modes for a variety of sonic options.
It features a Mix control for parallel compression as well as an input for sidechain compression. It also offers a highly configurable sidechain filter — including an option to use the unit as a de-esser.

The first thing you’re likely to notice about the MixPressor2 is its rich, warm analog saturation. Load it on any channel for an instant analog vibe.
The MixPressor2 is available as part of PSP’s MixPack2.
In order to emulate the sound of a traditional LA-2A, we used the “fast” attack setting, “slow” release setting in RMS mode.

The bx_opto by Brainworx is packed with versatile new features not found on the original LA-2A. The most notable of which is the Speed control, which allows you to dial in the transient response of the compressor. While the bx_opto does utilize the program dependent attack and release times, the Speed control enables you to shape the sound in ways the original LA-2A never could.
bx_opto also features a fully sweepable sidechain filter all the way from 20 Hz to 20 kHz. Choose between high-pass, low-pass, gentle band-pass or aggressive band-pass filter options. A dedicated Mix control lets you dial in the perfect amount of parallel compression.
In order to emulate the sound of a traditional LA-2A, we used the default Speed and Sidechain settings.

The VC 2A from Native Instruments sounds silky-smooth and offers an array of updated features. It still utilizes the original automatic attack and release controls, but it introduces a high-pass filter to avoid pegging the needle when compressing bass-heavy signals.
It also features a dedicated sidechain gain control for sidechain compression and a wet/dry control for parallel compression.
And at just $99, it’s one of the most affordable emulations on the list.

IK Multimedia’s While 2A Leveling Amplifier nails the unique program dependent characteristic of the original LA-2A. However, it doesn’t emulate the analog tube characteristics of the analog units, making it an excellent choice for smoothing out dynamic performances with transparency.
The White 2A Leveling Amplifier is also available as part of their T-RackS 5 Deluxe and T-RackS 5 MAX.
