Available for download, the Arturia Comp VCA-65 is a software compressor designed for pro-audio mixing. It emulates a classic VCA compressor renowned for its hefty sound, a compressor historically used on rhythm-section instruments, such as bass, drums, and guitar. The original hardware had several features that studios find desirable, such as an Over Easy mode for auto-calibrating attack and release times, and a peak-stop limiter for adding harshness and aggression to the tone. This software gives you those features and more.

Indeed, the Comp VCA-65 boasts some updates to the original hardware that are designed to make mixing easier. For instance, Advanced side-chain control enables extensive side-chaining, letting you filter the side-chain input with an EQ and M/S filters, so you can control what will trigger the compressor. Arturia has also provided a Time Warp knob, which changes the behavior of the attack and release shapes, affording you extensive control over the compression envelope.

This plug-in is compatible with Mac and Windows operating systems. It will work as a plug-in within your DAW on the AU, VST2, VST3, NKS, and AAX Native platforms.
