SLAX is a vintage compressor loosely inspired by the famous Teletronix LA-2A.
It has an agressive and dark character, which suits well for vocals, drums and acoustic guitars.

Doesn't work on Cubase 11 Pro
Steinberg is phasing out backwards compatibility.

This is quiet an amazing compressor. I've had a really wild peaking vocal track that no compressor could tame. Only the Slax and old SSL plugin managed to do it. Commercial plugin makers should take a note of how well designed compressor should sound like
No me instala en ableton live 10 ayuda pp6r favor! Gracias.
No puedo instalarlo, creo que necesito un instalador que hago?
No se instala, solo se copia en la carpeta donde tienes tus VST

Slick Plugin. Sounds great. Runs fine in Tracktion7 and Reaper. 5 stars!
Lo e visto editando con el a un productor musical y es bastante placentero
This thing is fantastic for a classic compressor, use it in many of my projects

One of the smoothest LA-2A replicas I've heard.

Very nice and easy to use.
Copy dll64 in x86vst for me ok on Reaper.
Would not show up in Cubase 10. No problems installing, but can't use it. Anyone knows the problem? 64 bit version.
Not sure how Cubase filters VSTs but I found it in Reaper by searching "S.LA.X" instead of "SLAX"

The best free plug with a warm sound. Turn full comp mod, you have a modern sound like's Waves Renaissance.

Amazing compressor, must have for vintage rock. Goes from little to in your face thick smooth compression. It's my main comp often even for mastering. One just can't buy something this good.

Better than payed LAs I've tried. 3db on drumbuss sits the drums nicely. Seems to have minor issue interacting with other plugins on same track but worth it.

Very good compressor, very thick. More of a warming, sound sculpting tool really. Sound is fairly transparent and the emphasis control helps to reduce sibilance but it doesn't seem to be that great at really squashing the dynamics without making it sound over-compressed. Pretty easy to use although i struggled to find the sweet spots. CPU usage is highish.

Won't show up in Reaper.
Shows up in my Reaper, are you sure you've got the right 32 or 64-bit plugin correct in your VST plugins?
Get an error on registering it for what ever reason so can't try it.
I had the same problem, but I went to New Plugins and saw it named S.L.A.X. You can rename it in Reaper. Hope this helps.
Holy Shizms... I am speechless. Thanks so much!

This compressor not only smoothed out my vocals in volume, but made the tone warmer by smoothing out the screech. I turned Emphasis to approximately 1:30pm. Nice plugin!
