CLA Nx (Waves Plugin)

Reference your mixes in Chris Lord-Alge’s studio—over any headphones

Create Better Headphone Mixes—in Chris Lord-Alge’s Studio

Compared to mixing in a beautifully tuned mix room with world-class monitors, mixing through headphones used to be a poor substitute. But that’s in the past—CLA Nx recreates the acoustics of Chris Lord-Alge’s Mix LA studio, in your headphones, using Waves Nx^® spatial imaging technology.

CLA Nx creates a three-dimensional soundfield that feels—and sounds—like you’re mixing in CLA’s high-end mix room. The plugin also comes complete with EQ correction curves for over 270 headphone models. Now you can check your mixes in a world-class studio, wherever you are.
