Black Rooster Audio presents the VLA-2A, an exceptional plugin that emulates the classic opto electronic compressor from the late 1960s. This plugin captures the essence of the original vintage unit, delivering warm, rich compression that enhances drums, bass, and vocals alike. Its design is rooted in detailed engineering and authentic circuit modeling, making it a powerful tool for bringing clarity and presence to any mix.

The VLA-2A uses a real-time component-based simulation to faithfully reproduce key elements such as the input and output transformers, tube stages, sidechain, and the T4A cell, all matched against an original 1968 hardware unit. This attention to detail ensures an authentic analog feel and sound that can be finely adjusted to suit a variety of audio sources. Its compression characteristics help instruments and vocals sit naturally within the mix, adding character without sacrificing transparency.

Optimized for performance, the plugin utilizes SSE2 instruction sets for efficient DSP processing, allowing complex computations without taxing your system. It features auto-adjusted oversampling to minimize aliasing artifacts, ensuring clear and transparent audio output. Additionally, the user interface supports high DPI and Retina displays on both Windows and Mac platforms, providing a visually pleasing and responsive experience across modern systems.
