Waves CLA MixHub Channel Strip Console Emulator, 64 Channels

CLA MixHub from Waves, is the first plugin of its kind, capturing the smooth console workflow and rich analog sound of legendary Grammy-winning mixer Chris Lord-Alge (CLA). With this plugin, you can mix up to 64 tracks – all from the same plugin window – using channel strips modeled from CLA's personal console. Mix musically, within the context of a song, as swiftly and effortlessly as your ideas come.

Usually, plugins only work on one channel at a time, but CLA MixHub is now the first plugin whose workflow features 'buckets' – groupings of up to 8 channels – up to 8 buckets in total. In other words, you can mix up to 64 channels from a single CLA MixHub plugin window. By mixing tracks side by side within the buckets, you’ll gain a mixing perspective that lets you immediately hear how one track’s processing affects others within a song.

The Sound - The channel strips are meticulously modeled from the ground up with the latest technology, directly from Chris Lord-Alge’s personal console – the console that Chris has used to mix a huge number of hits, from Green Day, Muse and Sugarland to Keith Urban and many more.

The Workflow - Once inserted on the channels in your mix, with CLA MixHub you can assign your tracks to buckets and begin making adjustments on the fly: mixing dynamics, EQ, saturation and more at a free-flowing pace without needing to switch plugin windows in your DAW.

During the mixing process, you can flip between two (2) plugin view modes: Bucket View – with control of up to 8 channels at a time, or Channel View – focusing on a single channel’s processing chain.

Each channel consists of 5 sections: input, dynamics, EQ, output, and an insert point. Each processing module can be expanded to reveal additional functionality.
