LALA
LALA update is ready to go with new features!
Features
- PEAK REDUCTION: Simply, it's threshold setting. Will set you compression level.
- GAIN: Make up gain
- LIMIT: When you engage, it will work as limiter. Otherwise, it will react as compressor.
- EXT: External side chain option. You will still be to use sidechain filter with external sidechain.
- HPF: Will cut low end.
- MF / MG: - Will set sensitivity of compressor for mid frequencies.
- HF - Will set sensitivity of compressor for high frequencies (Enhanced version of original unit's R37 setting)
- POWER: Bypass button
- ANALOG OBSESSION label is oversampling. Simply click it and engage 4x oversampling.
- Touchscreen support
- Resizable interface. Simple "Bottom Right Corner Handle" to resize. 50% to 200%.
*Resizing Tip: When you duplicate plug-in, it will remember current state of GUI size. But if you load new instance, it will be opened at default size. To get rid of this issue, simply follow these steps;
1. Open plug-in for the first time
2. Resize GUI according to your screen resolution or you liking before setting any knobs
3. Save this state as default preset with your DAW
Now, you will be able to load new instances with same size.
(If you want to go default size, simply double click to resize handle.)

Can we get these on Linux 😔
Hi everyone. First of all, thanks for what you do. I’d like to know why the needle on the meter in LALA hasn't been showing up for the past few days. I’ve already tried downloading and reinstalling it, but nothing has changed. Can you help me?
I have been working on a signal chain for voiceovers for audiobooks, commercials and broadcast narration. As suggested, I tried a de-esser, eq, two compressors, debreath and then a limiter. Using a Neumann BCM104 it just sounded processed. I tried the LALA and made a few minot adjustment and it is perfect. No other plugin other than gain staging. Astounding results from astounding programming. Thank you so much.
Thank you
The plugin crashes when I try to use it.
I can't seem to use it. I install it, but it doesn't work. Regards.
Tunca, you made a masterpiece. I always use this on my vocals and basses and it just works. Keep up the amazing work 🙌🏾

Hello dear, i´m not able to recall a cubase project that uses LALA. I tried in windows and mac. What do you think is happening ? A different release / version? Could you help me? Thanks
Hello! First, let me say I LOVE THE PLUGINS!!!!! I'm on a Mac that docent have a metal Graphics Card... Do u have older versions that might work on a Mac Pro OS X 10.15.7? I keeps crashing my DAW
Amazing Plugin!! I have noticed however, that all Analog Obsession plugins (that I have tested), while they sonically work as intended in UAD Luna DAW, their state indicator is inverse. For example: While in Luna console view, and Plug-in status is disabled, the icon is greyed out but the plugin's VU meter is illuminated and is processing audio and vice-versa, when plug-in status in enabled in console view, the VU meter is off and the plugin is not processing audio. Again, lovely work and happy to be a contributor.
Can you please add a channel linking and unlinking function to your compressors? It would make all the difference in the world when you use your compressors on stereo channels. Without this functionality on your compressors, you get too much ducking and too much of a narrowed sound on stereo channels. Please add Channel linking and unlinking function.
Thank You,.... the fix you suggested worked perfectly!!!
what going on with the GUI,... its all SCREWED UP,.... knobs are all out of place!!!!!!
Hi, I guess you installed new version on top of old version. So, please follow these steps; 1. Delete LALA from all plug-in folders 2. Open your DAW and rescan plugins 3. Restart your system and then, reinstall LALA 4. Open DAW and check LALA Please, let me know the results. Thanks
v3.1 in Tracktion Waveform 12 on Mac Monterey 12.5 = VST2 graphics are perfect. VST3 graphics are really screwed up. AU = the meter GUI is replicated and sitting skewed from the one in the background.
mee too
When loading up LALA it look really weird and it's impossible to use.. Anyone else experiencing issues? It sounds like it should just the graphics are all over the place..
Yes I'm having the exact same issue. Some major GUI bug. Had to revert to 2.1, which I still had...
Thanks for the update! Is anybody else having issues with the VU meter not working at all on v3.1? I uninstalled (removed from plugins dir) and reinstalled without success
Thank you for your work! Do you have any plans on implementing auto gain compensation/make-up gain on your plugins?
I just wanted to say, Lala is one of my ffavorite plugins ever, for all types of channels. Thanks a lot.
when will there be the M1 version?
Thank you so much for your effort and VERY nice plugins. I have a problem I hope you can help me with. I use a Macbook Pro 2015 running Mojave and the the 2.1 version Ableton Live can't register the vst3 version of the plugins. Many other plugins from you work fine and the vst3 IS in the folder with all the other vst3 plugins from you. What can I do? I want to use the vst3 if possible. Sincerely, Mikas
I would also like to see in the descriptions if your plugins are emulating Analog Hiss. Its hard to tell. and if you do ever add the hiss could you include the option to turn it off? BTW if you read my comments you are going to basically read me begging for added features. Sorry but you have done so many things with your plugins that I have been begging other companies to do that I cant help but get greedy.
I would love if u added an input knob, I know its not how the LA2A was but I would find it very useful and its such a simple thing to add.
Mac/M1, Logic 10.6.x, switching on oversampling sometimes produces a loud click and then I need to restart audio engine to hear anything.
Will u ever emulate the release time like the original? The sound is incredible.. This would be pretty nice.
Amazing plugin, sounds FANTASTIC on bass and vocals!
The fix solved the problem here 100% btw. Amazing plugs Tunca !!!
I can confirm loud pop when initiating plug in in cubase 11 on windows 10, will try re installing. Also went to comment yesterday only to find out my subscription had not been paid since december, turns out that my card had expired which i obviously new about, but my other subscriptions like slate and spotify inform me that subscriptions have been declined, but no such message from Patreon. Might be worth checking on
Did you have old version and installed on it? If yes, please try clean install. Thanks!
Thanks for the update too ha!!
Excellent idea ;)
Hey Tunca, it would be great if you could put the version number on the face plate of each plugin. Helps to keep track ;)
Maybe i can add clickable invisible button to plugin name and when you click, you can see version. Thanks!
Just dropping in to say that you've made a great thing even better. CPU load better, side chain great. Using it to turn guitar bus down using vocal in side chain, responsive and smooth. Well done.
Thank you so much! Enjoy!
Yeah, was installed. Installed the new version over the old using the installer.
Please, remove LALA. Open DAW and rescan plugins. Then close DAW and install LALA. And then open DAW and let it rescan LALA. Thanks!
...however I did just get a whitenoise blast on my Win10 machine when adding a new instance (VST3) - just so you know...
Installer before? And then reinstalled on it?
Oh my- silky smooth!!! This c/w Tuba - omg so amazing. You are the real deal Tunca!! Salut. Thank you.
I can't wait to try to the new LALA. Are there any plans for a Distressor-type?
Tunca mentioned this hardware, I don’t think it will be released soon... but I believe one day...
Nice Work!!! Love your plugins! And to change skins is awesome! THX for your good work and sharing with us! I work in dark theme, so I made a dark version if someone is interested ;) (Feel free to delete this post if this is against your terms of use) https://bilderload.com/daten/lalaslickdarkskinprevI6BOH.png https://drive.google.com/file/d/1vwQEmLsj5L_QDTLqdC_wFc3pn3nFV7jU/view?usp=sharing
Hey, bud got super excited when I saw this pop up in my email today. Downloaded it and put it on the drum bus in a client's project. It produced a SUPER loud pop and then there was no sound at all. It was still playing just no sound. I'm using LPX on an M1 Mini.
Hi! Thanks! Did you install older version before? I guess not because of M1. Let me know, please.
Just a head's up. The new plugin is looks and sounds great but there's maybe a typo in your code somewhere. My DAW reads the developer of this new version as "AnalobObsession" instead of "AnalogObsession." A B instead of the G. No big deal but I thought you might want to know! Thanks for everything. I really love all your work.
Hey! Thanks for letting me know. Never noticed... I will fix it, quickly!
how to change skins?
Please, check designer's link. Thanks!
It's nice to see you again with a new product, Tunca! Ijust tried the new LALA, their sound is cool when compared to Slate Digital FG-2A.. Besides, when When adjusting the knob, the floating label will obscure the parameter name (although it does not matter), but if you can add a Toolbar similar to Softube plugins (integrated with some functions such as IN/OUT, phase flip and parameter display), The UI will be clearer, and you can also make it possible to display an edit box after double-clicking the control. Just my 2 cents, in any case, we are very grateful to you!
You are on Catalina, right? So, try this trick. https://www.osirisguitar.com/how-to-make-unsigned-vsts-work-in-macos-catalina/ Plugins which have no installers won't work on Catalina and Big Sur without this trick. I am about to update all of them. Thanks.
Please, check this article. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201532
i have done that. it says it cannot be opened because the developer cannot be verified
You should put it into your plugin folder. Did you try this?
where do i find that folder?
when I try to download, my mac says there is no application that can open the file
Hi! Is your browser unzipping zip files automatically? Also, any issue with installers?
I can't get this to install (Mac VST/3), when the zip opens there is no package file. What am I missing? Thanks!
For old plugins, just unzip and put plugins to your plugin folder. I am about to update all of them with installers.
Can I sudgest one more thing to this great sounding compresor? An output knob. I love the action of this, but it is hard to incorporate into my mixes quicky, because it lacks fast level matching.
This just got added to my mastering chain after Buster. This is a stunning compressor. I was so enthralled with YALA, I didn't really give the rest an adequate test. Boy am I glad I finally did. This is BY FAR the best LA-2 series plugin in existence, knocking UAD off the throne by a wide margin.
I cant use the link, can u help me?
Hi, if you are using Google Chrome, please try right click and save as. Google changed their policy about downloading zip files.
I just started using this one yesterday and it sounds so good when you push it!
This is silky and nice thanks! Your sidechains work really well - big up.
the links arent workin for me :(
Sorry about that. I guess you trying with Chrome. If yes, please download with right click or use another browser. It's all about Chrome update. Here is why... https://www.ghacks.net/2020/10/08/chrome-is-blocking-downloads-here-is-why/
OMG this thing sounds great!!
Very cool plugin! Will you be implementing oversampling in this one?
It has internal 2x oversampling. More than that causes high CPU usage.
Could you create a youtube presentation on creative uses of the various filter/sidechain options on LALA? Your filter options are pretty unique for the LA-2A emulations
Actually it is really basic. Just think like eq. You can eq you sidechain signal. Shape your lows with HPF to less bass compression. Boost or cut mids for less or more reaction to mids. And adjust HF for more high freq compression.
How do you install it on 64-bit Windows 7 Protools 9? (I copied the dll to folder C:\Program Files\Common Files\Digidesign\DAE\Plug-Ins but it did not show up in Protools.
Hi, no support for Pro Tools.
Très doux, parfait pour une simulation analogique
I like LALA. I'm using it on professional mixing and mastering sessions 👏🏼 here's a post in insta: https://www.instagram.com/p/B_mJF_gKvD5/
This sounds really good. Did some comparisons with all the popular other ones. It sounds really close but different in a good way. For free it's a steal. You could do a whole album with this as the vocal comp easy . Thanks for the hard work.
Hey man, I would first like to say congratulations because this is probably your best plugin yet and I know how difficult it can be to emulate an optical compressor. Second, my only qualm with this is the attack and release times as both seem to be quite fast when comparing it to my CLA-2A. I'm pretty sure the timing on the LA-2A is 10ms attack and 60ms at half release. Really just want to see this flourish as I was just saying today that there aren't any good freeware optical compressor/LA-2A emulations and I am pleasantly surprised after seeing this. Keep up the good work!
Wow.. Thank you so so much..!
used it on a prj I'm doing. main vocal! liking it so far 👏👏
This is really an awesome plugin. Can't judge how it sounds compared to the hardware but I think it will be very close! Thanks a lot!
I think NCAR, which have great GUI, can be even better m, more realistic and vintage looking. Like the Acustica Gold3 for exemple :)
I personally like the ncar look more than acustica. Its very clean and real at the same time
This thing is great man. Also this is probably the best plugin GUI I have ever seen. Can you please update all of your older GUIs to be this phenomenal?
Thanks! Slowly, updating them...
what differences should i expect with the "limit" button enganged or disengaged?
NVM I figured it out haha
Thank you thank youuuuu
Thanks !
Very good lookin' comp, man! Thanks so much for this. Going in now.
wonderful
Nice, nice, nice, niceeeee....
this rides the level like a pro, really... tremendously great work! yet - if i may add a wish: could you maybe add a calibration knob, or an input knob? reason i'm asking is - the plugin is calibrated to -8db. now, a lot of contemporary productions are working with normalized signals, as a lot of plugins are calibrated to 0db. so now i'm i a mix, and it already sounds quite good - but it misses that levelling approach of an la2a. now, if i open your plugin on, say, a vocal bus, i might have to lower the input or recalibrate the working point, as it already reduces the gain when just inserted and no peak reduction is manually applied. would that be possible?
LALA is GREAT sounds really nice..very useful... Getting better and better man!!!
VST works Nice!
VST3 its crashing on Reaper 6.08 Mojave, Mac mini late 2015, i5, 8GB RAM HD1TB.
Thanks for the report. Can you download it and try again, please?
WHOOOAA! Thank y Tunca!
Another great compressor from you. I was only thinking yesterday to write & praise your compressors; they've become SO good since you fixed the bugs. The filter options in this one make it more flexible than all the other LA2A's in plugin form. It has a very nice envelope action & tone too - well done
This is WONDERFUL ! Thank you so much. LALA sounds really good.
Awesome man!!!! I'll test it rigth now!
u are a beast! :D
