Kind of weird how he talks about 4 reverbs then uses 5.
@@Hexspa because he use AMS rarely which was why he turned them off before early in the video.
@@BukanIbuMu Got it. Thanks.
@@Hexspa in fact he uses 6 for a, b, c and d.
@@lucianogm Thanks, Luciano.
*CLA:* "This is a nightmare to do in your DAW!"
*Also CLA:* "I'm gonna show you how to do this in your DAW!"
I smell a new plugin that's going to make this "easier"
@@timjonesguitar Yeah, the same way they made mixing "easier" by giving us a gimmicky new version of an SSL, charging 2-3x what their existing SSL costs, slapping CLA on it, and ripping off the Brainworx/ Plugin Alliance concept.
@@OdinOfficialEmcee but hey, they're giving us a free plugin with whatever this is lol. This must be a modular reverb/delay plugin/effect rack of some sort
lol
@@OdinOfficialEmcee I mean, I'm fairly confident it's going to be a new reverb/delay plugin that models CLA's specific hardware (some of it fairly obscure), and allows you to mix, match and blend them using faders, the same way he does on his console. And, if so, whatever else you might think of Waves, that would be a pretty cool plugin.
" I want some red velvet on my donut" ...CLA, the first man to ever combine gear porn with food porn.
We all should be thankful to Chris and Waves for showing us his 'kitchen secrets' when it comes to mixing. This is priceless really. Thank you chap!
Drinking game: take a shot every time he says “okay”
Okay
OMG IM DRUNK xD
@@eliopose You beat me to the joke. Well done.
“Plain donut! I don’t wanna plain donut” priceless, thank you. I just love this approach
The thing I love most about CLA is how he’s stuck to what works for him all these years. He’s not out here chasing trends. He uses time tested techniques that are always tasteful. Plus that donut analogy was spot on! Lol
You won't change a success formula that actually works, isn't ?
CLA Bakery, soon close to you!
Thanks for the valuable content, Waves/CLA
Wham-O, Zippo, bang, boom, slap! I'm not sure what's better ...his mixing or his use of onomatopoeia?
it' s unreal - so good!
Hats off to waves for finally record a tutorial with Cla where you can actually see the desk with a cenital shot. Much appreciated!!!
I'm too stoned for the food references lol. He started talking about red velvet my stupid ass like damn that does sound good lol
And this is just Chris moving faders without an open session. Imagine how much can we all learn when he opens it.
Thank you Waves Audio and CLA.
short episodes , straight to the point ! no blabla ! great and really fun
Exactly ! we need more content like this over here
MY FAVORITE DECADEEEEE
What I like the most about CLA is that he gives a damn about "the rules", and focus on what he needs to do to make the song sound better.
Absolutely. Especially with EQ. 15dB boost? No problem :)
That's the difference if you mix with a console; you just turn a knob til it sounds good. Not that much visual output in there like in a DAW, so mixing becomes purely about what you hear.
@@xanderpills which is why my first move on every mix is to use a 3-band analog EQ to do as much of my work as possible! After gain staging, of course. I use API 550A and VEQ3 for it, if anyone cares lol
@@zachary963 But from the list you provided it looks like you use a DAW. Unless you mix with your monitor turned off, you're still getting a lot of visual input.
I love his straight forward attitude. No bulshit. Just pure tech talk without any polished shiny glitter like many other engineers have.
this guy is awesome. crazy, in the best possible way.
These are some of the best explained and complete videos I've seen over here BTW.Thank you very much for sharing a touch of your magic!
This series is really cool. I'm loving learning more from the man CLA
I like the analogy of the ingredients put together of various amounts to make the track or donut. Some are better communicators and teachers than others and he is the better one.
The reverb/delay combinations per section is a fantastic lesson. Can't wait to try it on my mixes. THX Chris!
Thanks chris. For all those decades of sonic sound...landscapes of sounds...you inspired me and many for that magical sound...must say your ssl has something magical...it works differently with you as the master...thanks chris...you the guru...
This series is super inspiring and I'm already looking for my palette of flavors, thanks CLA+Waves!
Very enjoyable. Looking forward to episode 3.
thank you Chris and Waves Audio for the outstanding content
Thnx Chris Thnx Waves!! This is one of the most helpful tutorials I've seen . Gonna try it out not now but right now.
Best quote
"Welcome to the land of Oz"
Love this guy...can listen to him for hours...thanks for the vids
Very Thank for this, waves and Chris!
You are amazing man Chris. I just love what you are doing.
Now I'M SURE, that there will be some "DEPTH" reverb/delay plugin from CLA. It's great from one particular reason - most of His hardware is hard to buy even on reverb or ebay.
you can go to their website and sign up to get it free when it comes out
@georg walt lexicon plugins are outdated though.
+1
@@jayjain3821 outdated? He is using reverbs from 80's and you say plugin is outdated XD
@@adissumbuljevic9609 Hardware doesn't use cpu power. Hardware has no 32bit 64 bit format. Hardware does not depend on OS. So yeah plugins can be outdated, hardware gear can't.
Just what I need to hear.. thanks Chris
Most important mixing video I’ve seen thus far!!!!!!!
THIS IS AMAZING. thanks for explaining the process
His nomic's must be very eager. I'm loving these new sounds and ideas. Thanks Chris!!
Thanks for this series, really. Reverbs and delays was my weakest point in mixing and this really helped me a lot.
awesome brother great way to understand your reverb delay mix concept. always great to learn something new.
AMAZING!!!
If you like good mixes, listen to this man!
Been waiting for this one!
That was super silly, but also very helpful. Thank you! I appreciate getting an insight into how you work.
Amazing how the simplicity is not “so simple” and all his knowledge of the gear and what each one does gives him the freedom to see all the different posibilities. Thank you Waves for bringing this to everyone! @monterosamusic
New saw a lesson this good and passionate on the net. Thanks
I love the cooking analogy okay. I totally get it okay. The "plain donut" was the best comment okay.
Okay...
Yeah I was dying when he said plain donut. Ok..... gotta love the guy. He's real open in sharing the knowledge n his secretes..
Okay. I see what you did there ;)
Great Fx! Love the sound
This is gold!
i love the manner how he´s explain
GREAT VIDEO!!!
12:05 AMAZING EXPLANATION! CLA IS GENIUS!!!
Great lesson! Will implement what I learned immediately, Thanks!!!
This guy simply rules. Thanks Waves Audio. Nuf said.
I never thought I'd get so hungry watching a mixing video
This is awesome !
Thank You Very Much!
🙂🙏
Chris Lord is lord of the Mixing
Legend 🙌
you start to realise listening to Chris that its really all about psychology and psychoacoustics. I can listen to Chris for hours. brilliant brilliant
"Imagine putting all this in Protools session" says Mixing Sensei CLA... I sense a new plugin coming our way from Waves :-)... But this info is seriously awesome stuff, I never would have thought to mix more than a reverb or a delay together, but Chris is saying mix a whole bunch of them for 3 dimensionality ... Incredible will setup my own like this, as I have a multiple send out to FX busses in Studio One 5 it's SUPER easy to do. Thanks Waves for this great info!
Definitely not super hard to do in most DAWs ;)
Magistral.
This genius is a Lord of Mixing
"yet" lol okay Chris. Loving this!!
39x "okay"
CLA Verb! Coming up next week!
Five stars. I'm hoping this is leading to some new rare CLA Reverb/Delay plug ins.If so, I'm In.
It is. Someone zoomed in and saw one of the preset names today.
I guess so !
Seems like all the great mixers have this synesthesia going on, blending several senses in how they percieve what's going on.
Sounds, visuals, tastes, etc. Very interesting and feels somehow almost spiritual (in lack of a better term).
Bruce Swedien, however, described that phenomenon as being a curse more than a blessing. He even called it a distraction. But I would say it sure seemed to work in his favour anyway.
Great energy in this CLA guy. Heard the name many times, and finally recently examined what he was all about. Now I keep coming back for a new dose of CLA-energy (and tips of course) every now and then.
Thanks for giving us your good stuff!
Let's hope the show goes on. Crazy world.
So the free plugin is a CLA mixhub-like concept where you control the fixed CLA delays/reverbs from one console-like interface (similar to waves NLS)?
Could be cool. However, I have already been setting mix matrices in cubase for sharing multiple plugins with one fader for each effect per track and saving CPU plus gaining ergonomics for fast mixing. I like Chris. Charismatic.
So gooooooood! More!!! :D
I'm digging this
Good vibes.
Ha, Chris is definitely a genius creative.... and very entertaining which makes him a good educator too!
RIP Mr Bruce Swedien you will be missed 😢 🙏 💔
wow increible!!!!
Chris created some of his own personal depth as alluded when he mentioned cupcakes and bbq sauce lol.
I kid Chris is amazing and his sends setup is all class. Love when he talked about how delays blending with reverb can create more depth in a mix.
That's the advantage mixing with a desk, it gives you the "feel" blending something subtle in your mix, I just broke out an old A&H GL mixer to go over mixing in the box. It's difficult a sudden switch. But I did to make room for instruments. And a new rack with all my gear.
Well... Welcome to Oz!!! 🤟🏻😁 That's my mentor right there. The master!
Great!
such an awesome video! plus I learned a new word: eagernomics!
11:55 - “you got a plain donut right there… a plain donut... I DONT WANT THAT!”
eager-nomics?
The study of eagerness.
Literally just went to write that !!!
I just happened to get a gig in Greece once, ended up living there for 7 years, so I read, write, and speak fluently.
It has helped my English immensely !!!
(and my sense of humor when I hear pronunciation like that) !! 🤪🤪🤪
It’s all about three dimensiality.
Chris you ROCK! Thanks for sharing. WAVES you rock too... lol
"wammo"..."zippo".... love it. #Epic one liners!
I love CLA and this video series rocks! His sound and approach have always been really influential! I totally get and love all the analogies, but, am I the only one who walks into a DD and orders a simple "Old-Fashioned"? LOL Can't wait for the new plug-in and CLA Bakery! Cheers
You are not the only one my friend... !
Nice!
Would someone please invite Chris to your BBQ? The man is STARVING! How many more hints does he need to drop until we get this man a steak and baked potato?
Anyone think CLA always seems to be doing an impression of Al Pacino playing him in a film all the time? Still could listen to him all day
Cool dude
I'll bet this is the "mystery" plugin coming out!
This video is very very veryyyyyyyyy niceeeeeeeeee.
Well, the new CLA plugin is a reverb + a delay y'all ✌🏽...no doubt
+1
The way this guys voice sounds makes me feel like I’m out of breath
It's like "The Wizard Of Oz" from black & White to full color :)
And keep away from them plain donuts!
This guy roasted the hell out of us beginner in mixing
This is great.. And the best part is I totally get what he is saying :)
Great
This man is a music chemist
Correction: Chris's assistant will show you how to do it in your DAW, Chris will use the real thing.
Buses/Sends don't seem that hard to do in a DAW. Not sure why he says that?
@@MixChecks some just prefer a hardware and mix console. Its where he feels most comfortable.
@@MixChecks i think he’s just much more comfortable doing it his way. I actually watched this video and then went and tried this approach on a mix. The routing wasn’t that big of a deal at all. The automation, on the other hand, was pretty intensive.
He wants you to think that so that you buy the plugin
11:30 if you can explain it to a child, you understand it well enough.
How true this sentence is, this is some gold masterpiece of mixing advice from CLA here, and I appreciate it. Time to stop randomly picking Reverbs and Delays and starting to make a Depth template in my DAW.
This short series is pure gold for both the content and the fact that it's FREE. Yet, it has less views and likes than some videos of any average TH-cam channel of 'modern' audio guys. Holy crap! Who are you guys listening to? Who are you guys learning from?
The realest puppet in the game Reid Stefan. The genre of top charting music.
I just come here to hear CLA talk. Teach or not. I just enjoy hearing his voice. No homo. Lol
Nasal-septum-perforation.
i think he sounds like the Tony Soprano of mixing
Awesome effects bank collection!!!
Something about summing effects on an analog signal path, I do it in the box too, but it's just not the same..🛠
8:48 I think I know what the new plugin is gonna do. Either a routing plugin of sorts or some sort of reverb/delay plugin with all the routing incorporated.
