VLA-One – Voice Levelling Amplifier

Back in 2024, I did a YouTube video on an alternative to Waves MV2 plugin. The MV2 is an upward compressor that works great, especially with vocals. I analysed the MV2's characteristics along with another plugin named VOLA2 by Sonic Anomaly (long discontinued). Putting the two products together, I came up with VLA-One, Voice Levelling Amplifier – One.

In May 2026, I was finally able to release the VST3 plugin after much time developing and testing. The first release was well-received, even though it only included versions for Windows 10/11 and Linux as VST3. Later, I was able to compile and test under MacOS, and with further code optimisation and GUI updates, VLA-One VST3/AU is now available on all platforms.

VLA-One is the first of many VST3 plugins I plan to release in the future, covering many audio processing projects.

VLA-One is a FREE plugin. It doesn't require a license or any registration. Simply download (links below), copy the files into the VST3 folder of your system, re-scan your DAW for new plugins and use.
