LA-2A takes a vocal to another level
Having grown up with several of the original pieces of hardware, and knowing each had it's own personality...... this plug-in has the best of those variations.
It takes a vocal, and just makes it sound....better.Y. Xu
First Choice !
Got some really great comp plugins, but nothing like UA La-2A, so easy to use, and sounds so great.

I assure you it sounds incredible, not faithfully or maybe yes, I don't have the old hardware, so... But you seem to feel something... Oh, yes, that's all... All the replicas they refer to will be of a specific unit, with a unique serial number that identifies it and, therefore, it is it. Being able to emulate something totally analog seems a little different to me than something purely digital or hybrid... I try it and I feel, wow, there's something there that... UA, for this one, is the father/mother of the child. Who better than... to...? It also has an evaluation period.... I am very happy with the development of LUNA for Windows, but it is sad not to find PCIE Thunderbolt to connect your hardware, but everything has a solution and sometimes better. How I regret not having decided UA for you first, yes there are alternatives, but believe me, really... a little, a little. Yes, but you have to search... Some people sell potions out there for sure... Yes, but you have to search...

Indispensable
I tried this plugin and fell in love with it so much that I bought two Teletronix LA-2A Tube Compressors as pedal effects for guitar and vocals. The plugin is great on everything from vocals to drums, guitar to bass.

Smooth for vocals And More dynamics
Teletronix LA-2A Sounds Great I my sound track more dynamics and very smooth for vocals , i like using this for projects
T. Teske
Finally
Our sound effects needed some press down on the dynamic range. Without sacrificing quality. Well, not only did we not sacrifice quality.. it compressed the SFX stems while adding color. Love it
F. Ferrer
WTF?
Can't track no more using the LA-2A on the console? why? since when? why you did that? Come on UAD I still love you, don't make me sell my Apollo Twin and switch sides...
