 LA-2A Tube Compressor (normally $99) by Universal Audio is an accurate reproduction of the Teletronix LA-2A, the most famous tube compressor of all time, beloved in professional studios around the world. It's available for free for a limited time. I remember it being available only once, two years ago. Beware, this campaign was very short.

By the way, this LA-2A Tube Compressor is slightly different from the LA-2A Silver, part of the LA-2A Leveller Collection. While not a lite version, it's apparently identical except for having fewer knobs than the Leveller Collection version.

Experience the most famous tube compressor of all time.

The beloved "Silver" LA-2A from the late '60s remains the vocal compressor of choice in professional studios worldwide. The LA-2A Tube Compressor plug-in is the definitive emulation of this iconic optical limiter, providing the same smooth, radio-ready dynamics control for vocals, guitar, bass, synth, and more.

Add perfect compression with simple controls and presets

Even if you're not a professional mixer, the LA-2A Tube Compressor's intuitive controls let you instantly find the right sound, ensuring your tracks sit perfectly in the mix every time. And with expertly crafted presets for vocals, guitar, bass, and more, you can benefit from the same gentle tube compression heard in popular music for over 50 years.
