UAD Essentials Edition

About

UAD Essentials Edition gives you the rich analog tones heard on decades of classic albums with 12 "must-have" UAD plug-ins and instruments — for one low price — no UA hardware required.

The Ultimate Collection Of The Most Revered Optical Compressor Ever

With its gentle, program dependent optical compression, and meticulously designed tube amplifier, the LA-2A is the go-to compressor for professional mixers around the world. In 2001, Universal Audio set the standard in analog emulation with the original UAD LA‑2A plug‑in.

Today, UA’s engineers have redesigned the LA-2A plug-in with more obsessive detail. The LA-2A Classic Leveler Plug-In Collection features immaculate models of three highly sought-after LA-2A units, giving you the most authentic emulations ever of this iconic compressor.
