These are the mixing chains CLA uses to craft classics for Foo Fighters, Green Day, Bruce Springsteen, The Rolling Stones, Nine Inch Nails and so many others—and now you have quick access to these chains in your mixes.

Produce Powerful Pro Vocals—Fast

The classic CLA Vocals plugins, used by hundreds of thousands of producers, musicians and engineers, brings a crisp, present quality to lead and background vocals, male or female. Tweak the timbre, adjust the ambience, add depth and clarity—DONE.

Open Up Your Drum Sound

CLA Drums elevates drum sounds—kick, snare, toms, overheads, room—like It’s like an audio combination lock: Put it on your drum sources, try Chris’s own presets, adjust quickly to taste if needed (often the presets will be enough!)—and hear your drum sound open up immediately.

Dominate the Low End

CLA Bass lets the bass occupy its rightful place in your mix. From full, round, purring tones, to a hint of aggressive crunch that barks its way through a mix, this clever effects chain takes the work out of finding a bold bass tone.

Bring Guitar Sounds to Life

Getting a convincing sound from direct guitar used to be difficult—but then came CLA Guitars. Whether you want sweet, clean tones, or ripping leads with heavy vibes, you’ll find them in this versatile effects chain.

Make Acoustic Instruments Shine

Nothing makes acoustic instruments shine more than gorgeous reverb, delay, compression, and hi-res EQ. From dreamy ambience to crisp clarity that cuts beautifully through a mix, CLA Unplugged delivers.

Take a Walk on the Wild Side

Innovative. Wild. Smart. CLA Effects is a grab-bag of pitch shifting, distortion, long and short delays with tempo sync, reverb, and EQ. It’s perfect for adding that “certain something” that lifts a mix out of the ordinary.
