What it does, it does well. The eq curves are nice and very smooth, and the two compressors (an SSL and a Focusrite) do a great job. The drive is pretty useless. As an idiot-proof "channel strip" it works well, it's hard to go wrong with it and it definitely sounds nice on some material.RealJustin wrote:OMG, this plugin it´s completely unnecessary. I demoe´d it and what I found out:
The "Bass" is a low shelf around 300Hz and the "Treble" is a bell curve around 3Khz. Add your best BusComp ("Glue") and it´s done. (The "Drive" doesn´t do much).
This plugin is designed for absolute beginners. Save your money!
Having said all that, I didn't buy it as it wasn't as awesome as I'd hoped it would've (and could've) been. Will play around with it more though, maybe I am expecting too much.
A bit fried in the higher freqs

Tested it and....no it doesn't do anything that I can't achieve with the plugins I already have. No purchase for me.

The CLA stuff is by far the best sounding sig series plugins imo. I'll be checking this out at some point.lingyai wrote:Fair enough, to each his own, and I'm also wary of marketing bullshit... having said that, I've used some CLA artist-series signature plugs, and while they are black boxy, as often as not they have in fact sounded pretty damned good imho, albeit after a bit of tweaking. It's not magic, but it ain't sh*t either.ghettosynth wrote:Meh! I'm not into "soundgoodizers" that don't, either model specific hardware, or do something very unique technically (e.g. Abbey Road Vinyl). In both cases I expect the plugin to export the control to the user in a way that maps intelligently to original hardware or to the underlying concepts.
This is just yet another way of Waves reselling their existing code reconfigured in some "magical" way that a celebrity has approved, for a price, of course.

CLA Bundle owner coupon + CK901 (Waves instant saving) Coupon.
how do you insert both codes ? There´s only one field.
When I insert my Waves Bundle Code it shows
Coupon code "..................." is not valid.
CK901 works fine in this field.

We just removed it's field from the product page as too many invalid codes entered.
