Liking the IK one a tad better.

Can't say I can tell much of a difference.

Surely you don't need a compressor? Say it isn't so.
Must it be 64bit? Here's a nice 32bit one. It's free.

There's the CLA 2A from Waves and it's on sale right
now for $73.03 with code DK39S at EveryPlugin

http://everyplugin.com/cl...ompressor-limiter.html

I saw that. $99 at Waves. There's also CLA Classic Compressors for $127, which I think is an even better deal...

Dan

I'm seeing $144 at EveryPlugin, Dan.

Use the code at the top of this thread...

It's not just any old compressor, lol...

If you aren't on a strict budget, there's a newer LA-2A emulation from Black Rooster Audio. It's very good, but pricey at $129.
 
A demo is essential, since although the tone and saturation modeling are really nice -- it does sound like a vintage unit -- you may or may not dig the compression action, which can get rather pumpy on some material. 
 
Here's a video that gives you an idea of how it performs.

Cakewalk's CA-2A still has an early release/update/beta/fix that is only available via the Rollback menu in Command Center.  I think the only thing they fixed was the crashing in Windows 10 due to changes in the Windows C Runtime, but I'm curious why Cakewalk hasn't made this newer version the actual public release?
 
In Command Center I see version 2.0.1.97 is the public release but there is a version 2.0.1.112 Early Release in the rollback menu.

That's a nice compressor as well, but there is something to be said for the simplicity and sound of the LA-2A.
