CLA Bass is a powerful bass processing plugin developed through a collaboration between Grammy Award-winning mixing engineer Lord-Alge and the Waves research and development team. Designed to deliver rich, dynamic bass tones, this plugin integrates multiple processing components into a single, easy-to-use interface. It supports both mono-to-stereo and stereo operation, allowing for flexible application across various bass sources with precision and clarity.

The plugin offers complete all-in-one processing chains optimized for professional mix environments, operating at a high resolution of 24-bit/96kHz to ensure pristine audio quality. Users benefit from a range of controls including input sensitivity and metering for accurate level management, along with balance adjustment for stereo signals. The bass and treble sections provide gain control and filter toggles to shape low and high frequencies, while dynamic range compression can be tailored with selectable compression characters.

Additional features include sub frequency enhancement with on/off toggling, distortion effects with multiple types to add character, and pitch modulation with adjustable wet mix and modulation styles. Output level controls and metering ensure precise final gain staging, with clip indicators to prevent digital overload. CLA Bass delivers a comprehensive set of tools to craft impactful bass sounds that sit well in a mix, making it an essential plugin for producers and engineers seeking depth and presence in their low-end frequencies.
