CLA - Chris Lord-Alge Classic Compressors from Waves is a bundle of 4 compressor plug-ins modeled after several classic hardware processors owned by Chris Lord-Alge. As a prolific mixer, he has worked over multiple decades with many of the top pop icons, and his hard-hitting mixes have helped shape the modern radio soundscape, while introducing a new sonic vocabulary along the way.

Chris Lord-Alge's massive audio hardware collection includes racks and racks of the most coveted compression units in music history. The CLA Classic Compressors are models of the very best of the best hand-picked favorites.

CLA-2A Compressor / Limiter

Modeled on the legendary electro-optical tube compressor, the CLA-2A emulates the original’s smooth, frequency-dependent behaviors that have made it a favorite of engineers everywhere. Like the mid-‘60s classic, the CLA-2A sounds great on guitars and bass, and really shines on vocals. Top it all off with Chris Lord-Alge’s personal presets, and seemingly limitless instantiations, and you’ve got a model that surpasses its inspiration.

  • Zero latency
  • Sidechain frequency filter
  • Up to 24bit 192kHz resolution
  • Mono and Stereo components
  • Supports RTAS, Audio Suite, VST, AU

CLA-3A Compressor / Limiter

Based on the early ‘70s solid-state unit known for its unique and highly transparent compression curve, the CLA-3A delivers the quick response and the subtle harmonic distortion for which the original is world-renowned. And just like the original, the CLA-3A is the bomb on bass, as well as on guitars and vocals. But unlike the original, you can fire up as many instances as your system can handle!

  • Compressor and Limiter modes
  • Zero latency
  • Sidechain frequency filter
  • Up to 24bit 192kHz resolution
  • Mono and Stereo components
  • Supports RTAS, Audio Suite, VST, AU

CLA-76 Compressor / Limiter

Inspired by two highly-desirable revisions of the famed mid-60s Class A line level limiting amplifier, both versions of the CLA-76 (“Blacky” and “Bluey”) offer the superfast attack (as quick as 50 microseconds!) that made the originals studio legends. With an exclusive “ALL” control that recreates the original’s explosive “All-Ratio-Buttons-In” mode, plus modeled pre-amp distortion for that extra edge, the CLA-76 delivers some of the most powerful drum sounds imaginable!
