Waves Nx CLA Virtual Mix Room Plug-in Reviews
Waves has extensive experience modeling Chris Lord-Alge's gear, from his classic hardware to his hit-making console. Now, CLA is getting the Nx treatment, enabling you to check your mixes in an immersive, three-dimensional virtual re-creation of the control room at Chris's renowned Mix LA studios. Waves Nx CLA includes an acoustic response of Chris’s Avantone CLA-10 nearfield monitors, coupled with his subwoofer system and his custom-built Ocean Way far-field speakers, along with a boombox model to check how your mixes will translate to small-speaker devices. This plug-in gives you an uncanny awareness of depth, panning, imaging, and frequency balance, while perceiving hitherto concealed sonic nuances, such as reverb tails. Nx CLA is compatible with the Waves Nx Head Tracker, which allows you to "move" within the plug-in's virtual listening space for an authentic, real-world experience. If you're tired of unpleasant surprises when you play back your mixes, Waves Nx CLA is a must. It's the next best thing to mixing in an expertly tuned acoustic environment!

Studio in your head
I really like this plugin it definitely changes the way you mix in headphones and the translation is definitely noticeable in your main speakers playback. I like that you can switch between nearfield monitors and main room speakers to a little boom box to see how your mix will sound on different setups
I can hear into my mixes. More depth.
This plugin is amazing. I have the original Waves NX and this is better. I can finally hear into my mixes. The sense of depth is remarkable. I don't have a good room or good monitors. I use Samson SR850 headphones to mix. I was able to quickly identify problems in my mixes. I highly recommend if you are a headphone mixer. I especially like the Boombox mode to hear how mixes might sound on smaller speakers or earbuds.
