What I hear is what I get, and I don’t have to worry about ‘Is it too much bass, is it too bright, is there too much reflection in the room?’ That’s what we can now translate with CLA Nx. “The low end and the top end are focused on my ears and not reflecting. The way it’s built, with the surface and the angles just right – it makes a huge difference to how I hear. It’s accurate – you can count on what you’re hearing, and that’s so important to mixing. This is a way you can monitor how I monitor and hear your mixes on your own headphones like you’re in my control room. Lord-Alge: “With CLA Nx, my studio can now be your studio. The new plugin includes the acoustic response of Lord-Alge’s NS10-modeled CLA-10 nearfield monitors, coupled with his subwoofer system his custom-built Ocean Way HR1 farfield loudspeakers, modified to his specs and the boombox model he relies on to check how his mixes will translate to small-speaker devices.ĬLA Nx also supports head tracking – via a webcam or the optional Waves Nx Head Tracker Bluetooth device – to provide enhanced realism of the immersive three-dimensional spatial effect. The CLA Nx plugin combines Waves Nx spatial audio technology with measurements of Mix LA to replicate the acoustic response.īuilt by the late premier studio designer Vincent Van Hoff, Mix LA has been Lord-Alge’s studio since 2008, a room where he’s deliver mixes for Bruce Springsteen, Green Day, Muse and other top artists. SSL EV2 comes loaded with over 600 presets – including hundreds of presets by Grammy®-winning producers and mix engineers: Jacquire King, Stuart White, Joe Barresi, Lu Diaz, Dave Pensado, Rich Costey, Jack Joseph Puig, and many more.Waves announced that it is now shipping the new CLA Nx plugin, designed to bring GRAMMY-winning mixer Chris Lord-Alge’s Mix LA studio control room to any pair of headphones.Īfter faithfully modeling Lord-Alge’s console and classic hardware gear in previous CLA-designated plugins, Waves and CLA have finally teamed up to replicate his unique and proven Mix LA room acoustics and monitoring system. Its new features include the original SSL ‘O2’ Brown EQ and the console’s richly saturated mic pre and line inputs, SSL EV2 delivers a new level of analog depth and detail – an elevated take on the timeless SSL sound. The SSL EV2 is a brand-new recreation of the legendary SSL 4000E console channel strip, which they have made with full cooperation and authorization from Solid State Logic. I have very high hopes for the SSL EV2, because the recent reiterations they have done, like the CLA Mix Hub, have been a great step up! I know SSL’s quite well I mix on a 4000 and have made many records on this consul and many others around the USA and the UK when I lived there, so this is going to be interesting. Today, we are reviewing a brand new plugin by Waves, the SSL EV2.
