Really wanted to like this. My studio is a very well soundproofed room in my house, but not perfect.
If I want to do a banging mix at one in the morning, my wife certainly has something to say about it! So I wanted this to work! For older songs it does work very well actually, but modern mixes with ultrawide stereo images, lots of reverb and delays and other modern Fx just don’t. An example is Get Lucky by Daft Punk. In the original mix you can clearly hear claps in the right head phone. They come from beside your right ear, like they are panned 100%. When you use this plug-in, the claps should move to a position to the right but in front of you. However they don’t. They remain on your right shoulder, even though the vocals, bass, drums and other instrumentation moves to a point in space in front of you where monitors would be located. I tested over 100 tracks today, a mixture of recordings from different decades, and I found tracks like Long Train Runnin’ by the Doobie Brothers and Passenger Let Her Go worked well, but Daft Punk Get Lucky and Rihanna Please Don’t Stop the Music didn’t. So clearly not all modern tracks are affected, stuff by passenger for example whilst modern, is recorded in a less processed way more reminiscent of earlier decades. So perhaps it would be better to say electronic music with lots of Fx doesn’t work as well as stuff with more acoustic instruments and a simpler Fx implementation. It’s a great idea in principle, but it still needs some work.
Great info, as a rock only guy I'll at least give it a demo. Thanks!
The EDM song maybe are not good really well because CLA is basically doesn't mixing for the edm song (or maybe i'm wrong)
Waves company really take serious about the CLA studio
Thanks for the information
At this point I might just as well throw my wallet at CLA and be done with it 😂
Lol
hahahahaha 🤣man after checking some of CLA's plugins and the comment section on his promotional videos your comment was the funniest thing ever! all the best 👊
I can also confirm that this plugin is fun as hell to use while tracking vocals! Most vocalists would agree that the isolation of singing with headphone/inears not only gives you a weird lonely isolated feeling, but also messes with your pitching. With this plugin on, I'm not having to constantly take my headphones off to make sure I'm singing out of tune haha. Feels great to crank the headphones up and really go for it.
Highly recommend it!
this man is such a sales man, it is admirable.
CLA „King of sales“ you have to love this guy
I have the Ocean Way, strongly considering this. The difference in monitoring with them vs. "bare" headphones is night and day.
I bought Abbey Road and just had the og NX plugin, so I got Ocean Way and you're 100% right, night and day. I'm definitely buying CLA mix LA.
CLA NX sounds better than the other studio versions. It has a cleaner sound than Abbey Roads Studio and GERMANO.
It wouldn't be CLA's studio if it didn't include some coke.
Lls 😂😂😂😂😂😂
is that the reputation? I honestly dont know his reputation. Only a few of his plug ins.
@@allcoatpainting8515 I don't know his reputation on that issue. But once upon a time he made a joke in a video tutorial about adding coke to your mixes to make them sound better.
😂😂😂
😂😂🙌
I thought for sure this plugin would be a gimmick. I was 100% wrong. This plugin has changed the game for my reference. I love cranking my final mix down on the mains in this plugin. It made me start to enjoy mixing the details in my headphones. Well done guys.
Tried it, loved it, bought it. This pluging helps me out a lot. Nice one Waves!
"Obviously my talent!" CLA sweats himself so much it's pretty much comical at this point.
Honestly, I've never heard of Chris Lord-Alge, but he seems to know his stuff AND he seems super chill, like someone I'd like to be with friends with. I can't wait to try this plug-in, especially the boom box part because boom boxes always seem to reveal muddiness and brittle high frequencies in my experience. I live in an apartment and I never know when I'm gonna piss off my neighbors, so mixing in headphones would be great. Thanks!
who is waiting for the snake oil video ?
😂
I purchased it and sounds great. I have the Ocean Way as well but prefer the CLA so far.
I wish we could mute the Sub on the NS-10's
waves should definitely add more headphone profiles to these plugins.
Hi there, thank you for reaching out.
CLA Nx and Nx recreate the spatial acoustic response of speakers in a room over any headphones. This can benefit you by helping your mixes translate better to speakers, whether or not you also use EQ correction.
You can use CLA Nx or Nx to add spatial acoustic response to your headphones, and add EQ correction on top (whether using this plugin, or other software).
That being said, in order to benefit from these plugins’ spatial effects, EQ correction is not necessary.
@@waves Hi are you people planning to do any NX versions of mastering rooms?
what headphones does it support? This important!!!
The flatter your headphone the better.
When do we get CLA A.I.? I guess CLA MixDown was it for now until they can hook Chris' brain up and model it. Announcing CLA NeuroSphere
hahaaa loool! deffo underrated comment! luv it! :D
Hey can we please have closed captions it would help with playing back in low volume environments! Excellent video guy thanks for providing so much value to the community.
What I would like to know is why are there 2 clocks?
first time i bought a vst
thank you
So we just add this at the top of our masterbus and boom?
No, at the end of the master bus chain
@@dancooperwaves3685 thank you will give this plugin a try
@@CraigScottFrost makes sense thanks alot
@@CraigScottFrost Unlike studio monitors that won't ruin your hearing if you don't pay attention to how loud you play through them?
@@CraigScottFrost Never tried earbuds, I just have the dt990 pro which works great for me.
You're right, but your previous comment just made it seem as if you won't get hearing damage from playing loud through studio monitors, which is false. You should always work at safe levels and take breaks from time to time when mixing :)
This is the most teleprompt reading I seen this dude do
for 29 biscuits? im just gonna get it! lol
Mr. Chris Lord Alge! Can I call you Lord?
For some reason whenever I try any of the a CLA plugins, I find they add this muffled tone and the volume drops. Like I can tell there's a ton going on under the hood with his plugins. The second I take them off I can tell a difference. Everything sounds almost to "processed" if that makes any sense
CLA NX Studio is cleaner sounding than Abbey Roads and Germano Studios. (Edit: After installing Studio Rack, and comparing studios using Parallel feature with all the NX Studios I own, soloing each one, I now found out need to fix my most recent song EQ!)
Waves i’m sorry but this one is a SNAKE OIL!!!
I got this plugin .. and my drums sound a bit phasey on it .. could just be my crap mix. Lol. But when I disable the plugin .. I don't hear any phaseyness on the drums .
The number one question I have as I read these comments is suggestions on the correct type of flat headphones to use with this plugin. Wrong headphones then this does not work. Am I wrong?
Incorrect. You can use this with any pair of headphones. Some headphone models have additional correction built into the plugin, but the studio effect will work with any pair of headphones.
How does CLA NX cope with different headphone EQ's? It doesn't - it that's simple. However, it might work if SoundID was placed after NX. My NX batteries have died anyway.
Yea I love using it 🎧🔥
If you are using an eq correction software already (sonarworks) would you just add this after that in your chain? Curious about adding the “space” after the eq correction. Thanks!
You would use this for headphones only, and your EQ correction only for your monitor speakers. Never together. (I know this is an older post, but I wanted you to get your question answered).
I use sonerworks......I use it before nx.....
But then you don't need to select eq from nx plugins
@@jergervasi3331you are definitely a reddit mod
dop dop dop as allways kkkkkkkkkkkkk love waves man
Awesome, now a plugin that does a mix)
Stupid question:
Do we have to mix with the plugin on?or it s just to check and then dial in the mix with the plug in bypassed?
Hi there. CLA Nx is meant to be used as a monitoring tool. Keep it on while you're working, bypass or remove when you export the mix.
Yea this is the bit I don't get, I do a great mix using the plugin, but then turn it of to export, the two sounds are completely different so I don't get the point of it, I've asked this question over and over and got no reply from anyone.
Am I aiming to get my mix to sound like it does when the plugin is on, ie sound similar weather the plugin is on or off.
Or am I just missing the point, don't get me wrong I purchased the pluging and enjoy the spacial movement of the headphones it's great, I'm just a little confused.
That's sounds nice but it's worth nothing if your headphone sucks. Besides most of them are not even close to the response curve the manufacturer is giving...
WOULD YOU LIKE TO KNOW WHY THE MAINS SOUND SO DEEP?
Why you support hd600 but didn't hd 650 which is more popular???
Hi there, thank you for reaching out. CLA Nx supports all headphones. We created EQ curves for some specific models, but that doesn't mean we do not support other models.
why no BD 770 eq curve T_T
where do i put this plug in ? like an every track or in my master track?
Master track at the end of your plug-in chain
Wow.
Uh, do you have 2 pay for V13 if U have Windows 11?
Hi @Mike Bee, since we've only tested and qualified V13 plugins to run on Windows 11 computers, we do not have any knowledge base on issues that might occur due to using older versions of our plugins on Windows 11. That said, we only officially support V13 plugins on Windows 11 computers: www.waves.com/support/tech-specs/system-requirements
does it only come as a v13 plugin?
Hi Paul, CLA Nx is available in V12 as well. V12 plugins can be installed by following the instructions on this article: www.waves.com/support/how-to-install-12-0
How is this different from waves NX
Waves NX is a neutral room. CLA NX is modelled on chris-lord alge's room.
Eq for air pods max coming?
Are you broke man? Buy yourself a decent pair of headphones
@@alexandar5253 omg 😂
Boom💥💥
Whole audio chain is CLA with this last plugin. BUT how to replace the brain and way of judgment of what we are hearing is still obscure, how to replace the brain in the skull :-D I’m joking 🙃 I’ll try this plug-in out 👍
I have OLLO S4X - Supported?
Hi there, thank you for reaching out. All headphones are supported with the CLA Nx and it will add the 3D spatial acoustic treatment to any headphone model, which is the main thing it's designed to do. The CLA Nx can also add EQ correction as a bonus for a selected list of headphones which you can find here: www.waves.com/support/nx-headphone-eq-correction
We highly recommend for you to try it and hear for yourself! 😉

@@waves Hey guys, is there any information when the oratory headphone curves will be availiable within the NX series? Really looking forward to this!
@@waves Bump
Does this require special headphone?
No.
Activad los subtitulos para los que no hablen ingles joder!!
Do these type of plugins really work?? I don’t understand how the sound changes if your using the same headphones before the using the plugin…
It's an impulse response. You notice how your mixes don't translate right if you mix on headphones rather than using your monitors? This offers a solution to that issue. It works to make your headphones much more like a monitor mix or a room sound. I used the NX Ocean Way plugin, and it worked wonders.
In addition to changing the frequency response, it adds crosstalk between the speakers. Headphones exaggerate stereo separation; these plugins make it sound much more like you're listening through speakers in a room (so, for example, 50% panning sounds like 50% instead of 90%). It's impossible to simulate that exactly, but these plugins are much closer that just using headphones straight up.
Not really. I bought the Ocean Way plugin as soon as it came out. Used it a few times. It didn't help at all. But, If you're up late and you gotta mix and not disturb others it's better then just using your headphones. The plugins are kinda fun, too, with the different monitors you can select and hearing the sound change as you turn your head (head tracking.) But, you got to use real monitors in the end.
@@hummarstrafulThanks for the response! Not trying to knock it at all, just curious. I think the most useful feature would be the radio box to see how the mix translates!
@@hummarstraful, Not everyone has the option of mixing with monitors. Some people will be happy to tell you that it sucks to be you and so you should just give up on making good mixes. I prefer to encourage people rather than to discourage them.
One of the most dsp-hungry plugins i've ever seen.
