The Waves CLA Vocals plugin acts as an "all-in-one" channel strip that streamlines the creation of professional, radio-ready vocal tones by combining EQ, compression, reverb, and delay in one interface. It is particularly favored for its speed, CPU efficiency, and ability to replicate the polished, aggressive vocal style of engineer Chris Lord-Alge.

Developed in collaboration with Chris Lord-Alge, a renowned producer and engineer, Waves CLA Vocals is a plugin designed to deliver the ultimate vocal sound. Lord-Alge, known for his work with top artists such as Green Day, Foo Fighters, and Lady Gaga, brought his wealth of experience to the table to create a plugin that would cater to the diverse needs of vocal production. The result is a versatile and intuitive tool that can be used on a wide range of vocal styles, from subtle enhancements to more dramatic, transformative effects.
Turn off the "Effect" module. CLA rarely uses pitch correction or doubling on the main lead. Keep it natural.
