Analog Obsession YALA v4.0 VST VST3 AU WiN MAC [FREE]

Analog Obsession YALA v4.0 is a free vari-mu-style compressor and limiting amplifier for producers who want dynamic control with saturation. It suits home-studio musicians looking to explore characterful compression rather than simply reduce peaks.

The VOLUME control provides ±24 dB of internally compensated input adjustment, letting you change how hard the circuit is driven. Pair it with the 50 dB threshold range to shape the compression response, then use ATTEN to set the final output level. Release times run from 50 ms to two seconds, giving you room to experiment with quick recovery or a slower response.

For parallel compression, MIX blends the processed and dry signals directly inside the plugin. A 20–500 Hz sidechain high-pass filter reduces how strongly bass frequencies trigger compression; it does not remove bass from the audio itself. External sidechain support lets another signal control the compression.

Version 4.0 updates the compression curve and interface, adds MIX and sidechain filtering, and fixes mono-instance and sidechain issues for Logic users. This Windows listing is relevant to FL Studio and Ableton Live users.
