Compressor
CLA-3A
Waves
Smooth your vocals and instruments with program-dependent optical compression that responds musically to dynamics, not just levels. The legendary 3A character tames peaks naturally while preserving tone.
The API 2500 Bus Compressor is a complete emulation of API's flagship 2-bus compressor, delivering hit-making glue and energy to stereo mixes and subgroups. It features selectable Old (feedback) and New (feed-forward) compression modes with three custom Knee settings, plus API's patented Thrust technology for controlled low-frequency punch. The plugin includes plug-in-only Mix and Headroom controls, precise L/R Link parameters, and artist presets from top engineers.
