Blend Reverbs and Delays the CLA Way
- The key to CLA’s depth of sound is the way he blends multiple effects creatively—sending multiple delays to multiple reverbs on each track, and controlling the exact blend with his console faders.
- You can blend CLA’s most epic reverbs and delays in the same creative manner. No need to open different effect plug-ins to get a rich landscape of sound: At any time, you can activate any or all of CLA Epic’s 8 effect modules, and blend them easily using the plug-in’s faders.
The Secret to Depth: Send Delays to Reverbs
- For mixing with depth CLA sends his delays to his reverbs, so that the delays become part of the overall sonic landscape
- CLA Epic lets you send any delay to any reverb, in addition to the option of running the effects in parallel
- With the click of a button, you can choose to send each delay only to the Output, only to (any or all of) the reverbs, or to everything at once
