The Ultimate Guide to Getting That "Hot" Vocal Sound with the CLA-2A
Tips for Using the CLA-2A Compressor
Bass: Pushing the Peak Reduction and then cranking the Gain can add a pleasant harmonic saturation (distortion) that helps the bass cut through small speakers.
Introduction
Hi-Freq (Counter-Clockwise): The compressor becomes less sensitive to low frequencies and more sensitive to highs. Use this to let the "crack" of a snare or the "thump" of a kick pass through without triggering as much compression, keeping the low-end "hot" and punchy.
Pro tip: Use a black light with UV dye. The CLA2A crack will glow like a neon river tracing the fracture line.
