: A much higher ratio of approximately 100:1 for more aggressive peak control.

The CLA-2A is particularly effective on:

This combination yields a highly controlled, polished sound that sits perfectly in a dense modern mix without sounding over-compressed. Conclusion

: Adds modeled analog noise and hum (50Hz or 60Hz) to mimic the original hardware's noise floor. Key Characteristics Optical Compression : Unlike faster FET-style compressors (like the
