Description
The Teletronix LA-3A compressor is an iconic "secret weapon" limiter, famous for pushing sounds right to the front of your speakers with a unique, aggressive character.
Modeled from a unit in UA’s vintage collection, the Teletronix LA-3A Audio Leveler plug-in gives you all the tone and pugnacious dynamics control of the rare hardware.
Get In-Your-Face Optical Compression Tones
By giving you faster limiting than the tube-driven smooth operator Teletronix LA-2A with the clarity of the iconic solid-state 1176, the Teletronix LA-3A plug-in offers bold, mid-forward compression, guaranteed to make your sounds pop.
Easily Get Pro Limiting on Drums
Use the HF Emphasis sidechain filter to punch up your drum bus with legendary LA-3A tone, without triggering the threshold of the compressor with the kick drum. Plus, the Dry/Wet Mix control gives you quick parallel compression on a synth or piano track, seasoning your productions with legendary Teletronix LA-3A attitude.
