Excellent Plugin
I love this plugin, because it is very easy to use. Good quality sound and it is what I was looking for.
O. Sadle
Teletronix® LA-3A Classic Audio Leveler Plug-In
I've been using this for about 30 days now and I've noticed that I tend to use this compressor when the 1176, LA-2A or Fairchild just isn't right. Operates like the realt thing!

Teletronix® LA-3A Classic Audio Leveler / Makes my life easier
Definitely, this plugin together with LA2A and 1176 makes my life easier. Easy to use and a very good transparent sound.

Good On Guitar Busses
Got this for smoothing and evening out L/R balances of guitars on stereo busses. Does that perfectly. I preferred it to the Waves version which I found to be a little grungier.
Also useful on the occasional vocal.

Pure control
Holds my vocal tracks together without too much coloring.
L. Arcoraci
LA-3A
I use it in conjunction with other compressors to add that special depth to the Bass guitar.

Teletronix® LA-3A Classic Audio Leveler Plug-In
I find this plug-in usable for just about anything. You can't beat the price even though it is from the original suite of uad-2. UAD's plugins are always superior to anything out there. You can never have too many compressors and the ease of use and low over head on my solo flexi makes it usable on Drums and Acoustic and Electric Guitar are my favorites to use the LA-3A but it sounds good on everything. Great price too. This is a must have plug-in.

UAD makes the best opto compressors
Makes my acoustic guitar sound classy and smooth. I'll sometimes double track an acoustic guitar part and have the LA-3A on one track and a UAD LA-2A on the other. Really gorgeous and lush, and makes the acoustic guitars gigantic sounding. I tried the Waves opto compressor plugs, but they didn't even come close to the UAD versions. Hard to go wrong here - it's simple, inexpensive, and sounds great.

Not Just Another Comp...
I already have the L2 and 1176 collections plus the Fairchilds; I really thought the LA3 couldn't keep up...until I tried it. This little compressor brings a sweetness to everything; try it on the output of your 224 or EMT140... Awesome.

Great Plugin, Easy to use sounds great
If you're liking for a good compressor that's quick and doesn't hog DSP this is it. Doesn't slow you down and once you learn it dialing things in becomes second nature. Great for sound design and the production stage.

Excellent Comp/Limt in Optic
C. Shepherd
Great For Drums
This compressor/limiter is great on anything that has a great dynamac rage like drums or bass. Favorite application is on snare drum!
J. Annunziato
Great Compressor
UA has captured a classic. One of my favorite compressors. Very versatile.
J. Sarta
Great Plugin
Nice - simple and effective. Great for sopranos to tame that stray note or two. Very happy with the purchase.
A. Libertucci
Very Nice
I use the LA-3A on a buss and it gives a natural warmth to the mix. Great on Vocals and guitars.
X. Moser
Smooth and forward
I A/B'ed this against another well-known LA-3A emulator plugin and this one won hands down. The other plugin exhibited unwanted pumping behavior with minimal compression, while this one remained smooth with the same gain reduction. The compression was more transparent, but it brought the vocal to the front nicely and gave it a little mid-push.
I was waiting on this one to see if they would make an updated version. Now that I finally gave in and bought it, I'm sure we will see the updated version soon...
M. Crawford
Great Compressor
I bought this one because we have two LA-3A's at the studio where I work. I wanted something at home to use especially on snare drums.
The plug in really sounds and reacts like the outboard ones at the studio. I've already used the plugin on two mixes and I am really glad I have it.
R. Freeman
Excellent
This is very much worth having. I've had great results using this as my main vocal compressor followed by the LA-2 on limit. You need this! I wish the graphic was a bit bigger though. Rather tiny. Of course, the ultimate would be if (all of) the UA graphics were re-sizable :-)
C. Paschall
Acoustic Guitar
I'm a fan of anything with two knobs that sounds amazing. As always with UAD, the emulation is unparalleled. Love it on acoustics!
C. Chastain
Works just like it should.
The hardware LA-3A has always been one of my favorites for taming guitar transients. The plugin - while not as round somehow - still performs how I need it to and has been on every session since my purchase. Bravo!
