![]() ![]() On both the CLA-3A and the CLA-2A, the “hi-freq” knob can open many new possibilities, and now I miss having one on legacy/older older emulations from UA, Bomb Factory and whatnot. I am not sure which sounds more authentic to the hardware, but both can mangle a signal with the best of ‘em! As could be expected (if you know the hardware), The “Bluey” model sounds brighter and a bit more aggressive than the “Blacky”. I also must mention that the CLA-76 models (both “Bluey” and “Blacky”) have a very interesting and different “all-buttons-in mode”, when compared to the UA versions. I do prefer the Waves version of the LA-3A over the UAD LA-3A, as the older UA version just doesn’t sound as detailed AND has higher latency. The Waves versions operate at zero latency, making them my preference when still tracking or just creating a rough mix. ![]() I usually prefer the sound and “analog realism” that UA’s newer versions of the 1176 and LA-2A provide, but they have massive latency in Pro Tools. Ignore the “CLA” part of their name, as it only signifies which actual hardware units were tested, and they won’t make all your mixes sound like Chris Lord-Alge worked on them (for better or worse)! Here is another case where Waves did some hardware emulations very successfully (in my opinion).
