Maybe you like it because it's much cleaner than a La2a and also reacts a lot faster?
No, I am talking about its color. Dynamically-wise it can be spikey, not grabbing the initial transient soon enough and that is my main complaint as I mostly use it in treating spoken word.

Btw if you want all the classic comps etc. then McDSP 6050 is a good deal.

so it’s not really a LA-2A emulation 🤷‍♂️
I wonder what happens if I press this button...

I have the UA La-2a, IK White, NI VC-2a and Cubase’s Tube compressor. All of these sound really good but different. I am digging Cubase’s stock compressors more these days and find I’m often choosing these over the paid ones I’ve purchased.
Whilst all these compressors sound great, I still prefer my modded Klark Teknik KT-2a. There’s something about the sound of this that I can’t find in a vst compressor.

Opto cell mod? Kenetek T4b? or T4BLA? Or something else?

I have the UAD LA2A if anyone wants to trade?

i dont know if they sound like the real thing but i like uad and waves

UAD is the best LA-2A plugin. No contest.

Post

I like the NI LA2A because it has ultra low / no latency.

I also own IK LA2A and while there is a difference it doesn’t seem all that obvious to me.

🤷🏻‍♂️

It's not too bad. Doesnt model hardware sound but does job as a compressor.
