CLA’s Console Sound and Workflow—In Your Sessions

  • Give Your Tracks That Rich Analog Console Sound

    CLA MixHub is modeled with painstaking care from Chris Lord Alge’s personal 4000-series console—from input through every stage of the dynamics and EQ, to output. You can freely re-order modules within the console flow for further control of your sound

    Features: Glue Mixes without “Squashing”

  • Mix 8 Channels at a Time—Real Console Workflow

    CLA MixHub also brings you CLA’s efficient console workflow: Mix groups of 8 channels—all in the same plugin window—quickly and in full musical context with each other. You can now move instantly between channels, like on a real console—hearing your tracks playing together, and instantly editing EQ and dynamics on multiple channels.

    Features:

  • Add Sweet Console Saturation

    The Input section not only includes high- and low-pass filtering, but models the line amp in Chris’s console. Dial in light saturation for a sweet edge, or push it even harder with the mic preamp module.

    Features: Fast and Efficient Operation

  • Compress with CLA’s Custom Console Dynamics

    Of course, there’s the 4000-series channel strip’s compressor/limiter, with flexible sidechaining—but that’s not all. MixHub adds a gate/expander and ducker with a ‘hold’ control—“the super-gate,” as Chris calls it—plus your choice between the original console compression and CLA’s 1176 “Bluey” FET-based limiting amplifier.

    Features: From Vocals to “The Ringo Drum Sound”

  • Shape with Exquisite Equalization

    The workflow of adjusting 4-band EQ in adjacent channels at the same time is a revelation. Two fully parametric stages, and high and low bands switchable between shelf and bell curves, deliver the acclaimed EQ sound of CLA’s console.

    Features: Multiple Modes Fit Different Material

  • Insert Any Waves Plugin Inside CLA MixHub

    To turn CLA MixHub channel strips into one-stop solutions for your tracks—insert any Waves plugin in the MixHub’s ‘insert point.’ Now you can have CLA MixHub functioning as a full mixing chain, complete with reverb, delay, modulation, or any effect you wish to add to the console dynamics and EQ.
