Description

The Teletronix LA-3Acompressor 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.

  • Get the unique tone of the definitive solid-state optical compressor
  • Add energy and harmonics to vocals and acoustic guitars
  • Inject grit and texture to bass guitar and soft synths
  • Punch up your drums using the HF Emphasis sidechain filter and parallel Dry/Wet Mix

    A classic

    Simple, easy to use, and effective. It works well for smoothing out legato and sustained sounds like bowed instruments and vocals.
