CLA Effects is a comprehensive audio processing plugin developed through the collaboration of Grammy Award-winning mixing engineer Lord-Alge and the Waves research and development team. Designed to deliver professional-grade sound shaping, this plugin offers complete all-in-one processing chains suitable for both mono and stereo signals. It operates at high resolution with 24-bit/96kHz support, ensuring pristine audio quality for mixing and production tasks.

The plugin provides a wide range of controls that allow precise adjustment of input sensitivity and output levels, with visual feedback through input and output meters to monitor peak levels effectively. Stereo balance can be fine-tuned, and various send effects such as long and short delays are included, each with customizable delay times and character settings that can sync to the session BPM. Additionally, users can shape the sound with EQ high frequency shelf filters, distortion effects with selectable tonal characters, and multiple reverb environments, all designed to enhance the creative mixing process.

Additional features include pitch modulation controls and a direct signal pass-through option that enables blending of the clean signal with the processed output. The plugin also features intuitive visual indicators, such as sensitivity LEDs and clip warnings, to maintain optimal levels and prevent digital distortion. CLA Effects combines powerful multi-effect processing with user-friendly controls, making it a valuable tool for achieving polished, dynamic mixes.
