Black Rooster Audio VLA-3A

Black Rooster Audio is proud to present the VLA-3A plug-in, one of the most authentic native emulations of its analogue brother from the 70s. This is our goto-compressor for vocals, but it also works incredibly well for bringing out the ambience on percussive material and helping to put some glue into your mixes.

Authentic Circuit Emulation

Our realtime component based circuit simulation approach allows for authentically capturing the sound and feel of the analogue unit as close as possible. All the crucial parts, including in and output transformers, discrete sidechain and audio path networks, filters and of course the T4B cell have been faithfully modelled.

SSE2 Optimized Code

DSP operations are pipelined using the SSE2 instruction set. This ensures the highest possible performance operation despite very complex computations.

Auto-adjusted oversampling for maximum audio transparency

Aliasing artifacts are efficiently attenuated using a low latency linear phase Dolph-Chebyshev poly-phase design. The oversampling Format-AUto-adjusted to your session's sample rate to save valuable CPU power while offering the most transparent sound possible.

High DPI / Retina Support

All Black Rooster plugins support high pixel density on Mac OSX and Windows to bring you the most enjoyable user experience on high DPI displays. Please refer to your manual to find whether your DAW is High DPI capable if you're working on Windows.
