CLA live at Mix LA Part 2/2

[numskidude]

@Tubevalvemaniac BULLSHIT!!! OLD GEARS ARE SUPPOSED TO WORK WELL WITH TAPE!! NOT WITH YOUR REGULAR AUDIO INTERFACE. THESE PLUGINS ARE TOTALLY GREAT SO SHUT THE FUCK UP!!

[Tubevalvemaniac]

I didn't like CLA's plugin, like most of other compressor based plugins.

It can't compete with high-end hardware.

Still. it might work for younger engineers and musicians.

Hardware analogue rules and whenever possible I prefer to use it.

[flint13]

Am I the only one who thinks it's funny we're A/Bing compressors on a squashed you tube video? I get the characteristics portion, but I'm missing the dynamic range either way.

[Cryonne]

Can anyone please just help me?

I can't get what is he saying at [03:03].

"It's kind of the distortion, is the..., is the... [what?!]."

[meli55aa]

@Cryonne "is the attitude that adds"

[signaltouch]

This guy knows how to explain compression - i never seen someone that knows how to explain better then this guy - you are great - good energy - thanks for sharing your knowledge .

[houmller]

he's honest......

[MultiGodzila]

So this guy is sitting in  the studio full with hardware comps and saying we should buy plug ins ?!?!?!?

This world is really getting strange ....

[Mysticalman68]

@MultiGodzila If actual 1176s and LA2s were cheap and easy to find, that would be totally strange, but how many people can afford the real thing?

[wado1942]

@Mysticalman68 Have you seen the inside of an LA-2A? There's virtually nothing inside that thing! They're not hard to build yourself, but then, it wouldn't have the label to bring up the price.

[composertimbeek]

@MultiGodzila Not everyone can pay for hardware..

[Rootsman262]

@composertimbeek thats true ... if you wanna buy especially hardwares of these plugins, but in this times there are a lot of hardware that costs not too much .... for example VLA by Art is great compressor for price ..

[kbyer]

Good insight into the plug ins. This guys makes me laugh the way he shakes his head when he really gets into it!

[DRMS4LYFE]

I literally bought CLA after watching this video. Great plug-ins.

[Jed9133]

kinda like in your face

[RichRobinson]

compression, compression, compression!

[babaroogeorge]

awesome video! nice plugins... really want them haha!

LOL at "really" at 6:21

[yobhsiFehT]

I really would like to see videos like this of him working on something more... interesting... from a musical perspective:/ I guess, though, if you're demonstrating compression, pop really is the easiest choice since EVERYTHING gets compressed w/i an inch of its life:P:)

Anyway, nice vids. Thanks, Waves!

[ElPopularVale]

It's very easy to mix something if the recording is already great, just compress the crap out everything with good compressors.

[stonercfc]

this guys mixes are class

[djveto]

Ive used all the compressor / limiters he is discussing. I use them religiously in plug in form and real form. I wouldn't have a job if it wasn't for these staples.

[skapoosh]

the magic spacemaker :P

[MacUserLogic]

He should do an A-B in the same take to hear the difference upfront instead of A side then talking then B side. Great Video great plugins

[stratosphere21]

Anyone knows the name of the band and song???

CLA rules!!!!!!!

[MsRokr123]

" Hott " is the band.

" Here For You " is the song.

[edward892]

We are bordering on over-compression here.

[Petrucciisgod123]

Welcome to a CLA mix.....

[samguaiana]

I'm not sure its that close to over compression. Plus you have to remember, he's working on a lot of modern and alternative rock these days, which just eats compression for breakfast.

He obviously overcompressed the room, but who doesnt? I love overcompressed room mics.

Also I have to say, whoever recorded those tracks did a stellar job at mic placement. For one room, it sounded awesome.

[rafta182]

@samguaiana true that! It sounds GREAT for just one room mic! the room HAD to be amazing too tho

[johnblumstein]

Wow! Very very good stuff.

[notonekind]

it's nice to see some of the settings, and where they're placed, like 1176s on overheads... interesting

[dannycurtean]

Its nice to see, but I personally dont care what others do. Others arent mixing my songs so my rule is to use my ears. I generally dont compress overheads, just sucks the life out of the drums. I do about 15 db of compression on the kick and snare tracks though, easy....

Same for bass and acoustic guitars, close to 20 db of compression on some A GTRs.

[RichRobinson]

20dB????? Holy shit! And there was me thinking I compress hard at 8-10dB? :P

[musicwasinvolved]

Good stuff.

[RAYGproductions]

Nice love it....

[beechshredder]

Great video!

[TheDigitalMafia]

You Are AWESOME ~8^) thank you for posting these videos, they and you are soo Helpful.

[dannycurtean]

This is awesome, my mixing hero....the man's insane!

[sunbird7music]

brilliant - cheers!!!
