After speaking with Yoni Zlotkin (Waves Product Manager) and the Waves team at length over many months, I began to feel more confident these guys had some groundbreaking theories on how such a sensitive task could be realized.

This approach has proven highly profitable for Waves, selling thousands of plug-in licenses for less than $100 US, and for Abbey Road, which gains a completely new source of revenue.Īs Mirek Stiles, Head of Audio Products at Abbey Road explains: “Abbey Road has historically been very protective of the acoustic properties of its studios for software emulations, and the Studio 3 control room is no exception. This type of collaboration enables anyone with a laptop to run emulations of the most prestigious audio-chains in his own music and mixes.

Some more headphone models would be a nice feature as they’re pretty limited.įor full details on Waves CLA Nx, head to Waves’ website.Waves Audio has been working with Abbey Road Studios in many plug-in projects, including to recreate many of the studio's famous vintage equipment, which was used in countless historic recordings. Once applying CLA Nx as an insert there is an overall increase in volume, getting used to pulling back on your fader is a small but not huge issue. The head tracking makes the acoustics and panning of audio feel a lot more natural.Īmbience control is a great feature if you feel the sound is still too flat. The sound of the room is excellent and really helps if you’re doubting your room’s acoustics/environment. These presets create a flat frequency response for the chosen headphone model, making the CLA Nx environment even more accurate and improving overall translation for mixing on headphones. Waves also support a range of open and closed-back headphones within CLA Nx.

If you’re mixing on studio monitors or open-back headphones keeping the Ambience set to its default position will give you a tight but honest sound. With a choice of monitoring systems, from CLA-10 nearfields to a pair of custom-built main HR1s and even a boombox, modelled after the Sony ZMS1.īy placing CLA Nx as an insert on the main output of your DAW we’re able to make an enhanced judgement based on panning, depth, room acoustics, low end and even mix position.
Placing CLA Nx as an insert on your master fader allows you to make decisions as though you were in the real studio. CLA Nx replicates the acoustics and monitoring system of the legendary mixer, Chris Lord Alge’s studio. By utilising channel crosstalk, inter-aural delays, early reflections and motion tracking we can now replicate a multi-monitoring environment inside none other than Chris Lord Alge’s main mix room. CLA Nx is powered by the same Waves’ spatial audio technology that we have seen used in the Nx Ocean Way Nashville.
CLA Nx is the second plugin in what appears to be a new line-up for Waves.
