Also included: a gate, expander and ducker with a “hold” control and flexible sidechain options for shaping a sound’s envelope – as Chris calls it, it’s a “super-gate.” The dynamics section includes two flavors of compression: the console’s built-in compressor, as well as Chris’s favored “Bluey” (Waves CLA-76 Compressor/Limiter) compressor. This, in effect, is like running a line-level signal through the console’s microphone preamp. For more extreme drive, kick in the mic pre. The “line” control models the line amp in Chris’s console, adding light saturation. The input section handles high- and low-pass filtering and switchable harmonic distortion. Each processing module can be expanded to reveal additional functionality.
Each channel consists of five sections: Input, dynamics, EQ, output, and an insert point. While mixing, users can flip between two plugin view modes: Bucket view, with control of up to eight channels at a time, or Channel view, focusing on a single channel’s processing chain. Once CLA MixHub is inserted on the channels in a mix, users can assign tracks to buckets and begin making adjustments on the fly – mixing dynamics, EQ, saturation and more at a free-flowing pace.
