"Es un excelente compresor clásico de emulación analógica que prácticamente se puede utilizar en cualquier instrumento, voces y mas, para controlar las transientes, dinámica o simplemente dar ese color único y analógico que buscamos en nuestras producciones y mezclas. Tiene un carácter muy especial en particular para las voces . MUY RECOMENDADO "

"Alright, let me just say it straight — the VLA-3A from Black Rooster Audio totally changed the game for my guitar bus. I wasn’t even looking for anything fancy, just a compressor that could glue things together without killing the vibe. And boom — this thing showed up like it knew exactly what I needed. It’s got that smooth, vintage LA-3A flavor, but with a kind of magic touch. I slapped it on my guitar bus, tweaked the gain and peak reduction just a bit, and suddenly everything sounded like it belonged together. No harsh edges, no weird pumping — just that sweet, musical compression that makes your guitars feel like they’re hugging each other. I paired it with a colorful EQ and a spring reverb, and man... the chain just locked in. It’s like the VLA-3A gave the whole thing a backbone. The guitars sit perfectly in the mix now — tight, warm, and full of character. Honestly, it’s one of those plugins that doesn’t scream for attention, but once you use it, you don’t wanna mix without it. If you’re building a guitar bus chain and want something that just works — no drama, no overthinking — this is the one. "

"el compresor es muy fiel a su sonido ideal para controlar los picos de los audios "

"I've had this one for many years and use it exclusively on Bass. I don't know how true it is to a hardware 3A but I like what it does to my Bass."

"Muy buen plugin para tener control de dinámica y potenciar el sonido. Produce tu música."

"This compressor is one of my go-to's to test on guitars for a change in character, and usually stays. "

"I like this classic LA3A plugin.It's perfect!"

"Black Rooster hit it out of the park with this one. I use it on acoustic guitars all the time. Works perfectly to smooth strummed and picked guitars. Well done!"

"ecelente vst para controlar la dinamicay hacer sonido mas fuertes produce tu musica"

"Una emulación sublime. Produce tu música."

"Es un excelente compresor es muy buena version del LA 3A y se agradece este tipo de versiones "

"Have used the hardware a few years back and this emulation very very closely emulates the same feel, attack, tone and smoothness. Love this on Guitar, Vocals, Bass, and sometimes Drums. Do not overlook this one. "

"excelente compresor le da un color muy bonito a tu mezcla o instrumento "

"Easy to use, precise and transparent. Works great with everything!"

"Easy to use, precise and transparent. Works with everything!"

"Exelente versión del legendario compresor la3a"

"Incredible plugin for its price."

"For me this is highly regarded for its ability to add thickness and forward presence to the midrange, making it a popular choice for my vocals, guitars, horns, and percussive material. It is also praised for its transparent control and ability to "glue" my mixes together. "

"... but you can put it on lots of things. Even drums sometime."

"Whenever I reach for a compressor plugin, the VLA-3A is in my top 5 choices. It's easy to use, works great or excellent on nearly every source (but it tends to work best on electric bass guitars, vocals and keyboards/pianos) and the price was more than fair. The geniuses behind this plugin deserve major kudos! Give VLA-3A a try...you won't be disappointed. Tip: Stack two VLA-3As, first one in Limit mode and second one in Compress mode. Set the first one until it's grabbing two much (usually just the peaks of a signal) then back off. Then set the second one to taste. I call it the 1-2-3A knock out punch!"

"This Plugin is just amazing. I’m using it always in my chain, especially on drums and guitars. Punchy but not harsh"

"It's one of my favorite plugins. I love using it on almost all of my tracks. It's great for drums and parallel compression! I really enjoy it."

"Lovely compressor, extremely transparant sounding, Compressing in moderate amounts, it is really not noticable at all. Which I like a lot ! Useful on just about anything. "

"This is a lovely compressor, extremely transparant. Compressing moderately it is not noticable at all, apart from adding a touch of warmth. Which I love very much ! Useful on just about anything. "

"I use the VLA-3A a lot on bass and electric guitars, drums, etc. and it does it's job very well! Tight, transparent compression with that unmistakable LA-3A sound. Highly recommended!"

"It just sounds great on everything. I love it on electric guitar especially. It tightens everything up in a very musical way. It's on my plugin presets for electric guitar, acoustic guitar and some drums as well. But I haven't put it on a source yet that it doesnt sound good on. Highly Reccomend!"

"What I love most about the VLA-3A is its effortless character. It gently tames dynamics without crushing the life out of the performance. The tone feels round, creamy, and slightly colored. On vocals, it adds a silky smoothness and a sense of intimacy, while on guitars it enhances body and consistency, giving that subtle “analog vibe” that helps tracks sit perfectly in the mix."

"Yes, because it is the most versatile to go fast and well in all situations!! Almost as fast as an 1176, it manages to tame transients. Not as colorful as an LA2A, nor a Vari-mu but just as effective in smoothing everything out, also giving it a soft and warm character."

"Really great emulation on a classic, I'd say it's probably the best one I ever tried. I like it on almost everything and I feel like you can't go wrong with this one. "

"when i want to tame an acoustic guitar my goto compressor is the la-3a...my preferred emulation is this one, the vla-3a because warranty transparency without any artifacts"

"I have some other emulations. This one does as much or than Waves or UAD. I like this on guitars and bass and does a great job on vocals. Great work Rooster guys...."

"I like this as a different flavor from my other LA 3A "

"Merits Simple and Intuitive Operation: Like the original LA-3A, it has few knobs, making it easy for compressor beginners to use. You can get a great sound quickly without dealing with complex settings. High Versatility: It's a highly versatile compressor that's worth trying on a wide range of sources, including vocals, guitars, bass, drums, and bus tracks. Demerits Higher CPU Load Limited Sonic Flexibility "

"A very transparent compressor great for guitars and anything you want to anchor in place in the mix. Set and forget, you'll never hear it working."

"I use the VLA-3A for just about everything. Leveling sounds, processing bass, Strings, Kick Drums (yes), Brass.... I love it!"

"This is my first choice of LA-3A. It naturally reshape the sound remain their transparency without any artifacts as its original discrete structure. One thing I feel better on this plugin is to add gain compensation feature which is not included on original gear."
