CLA Vocals

Multi-effects optimized for vocals

Get Pro Vocals in Literally Seconds

We worked with Grammy-winning mixer Chris Lord-Alge to pack his six favorite vocal effect, each with three optimized variations, into a plugin that excels at all-around vocal processing. Six faders optimize bass, treble, compression, reverb, delay, and pitch—quickly and easily.

Now, the same kind of expertise applied to vocals by Green Day, James Blunt, Foo Fighters, and countless others can be part of your productions—and bring out the very best in your voice.

Multi-effects with six processors, optimized for vocals
Three variations for each processor give extra flexibility
Faders dial in more or less of the various effects
Streamlined editing options speed up the creative process
Over 30 presets cover a wide variety of vocal styles
Input and output metering simplify foolproof gain-staging

Legendary Vocal Plugin
from the Lord of the Mix

Dial In Perfect Vocal Tone Immediately
Use Bass to add extra depth, reduce proximity effect issues, and more. Increase Treble for brightness, articulation, or a sweet sheen; reduce treble to warm up the sound, or tame stridency.
CLA’s Legendary Compression—Instantly
Chris Lord-Alge’s expert use of compression is legendary, and reflected in the three compression variations. Use PUSH for punch, SPANK to hit harder, or WALL to brickwall the voice for maximum compression.
Give Your Vocals That CLA Ambience
Vocals without ambience sound dull and dry. Place your voice in three kinds of reverb (TIGHT, LARGE, or CHAMBER), and supplement it with 1/16th, 1/8th, or 1/4-note delays that sync to your DAW’s tempo for tight rhythmic effects.
Pitch Perfect Modulation for Vocals
Embellish your vocals with a lush stereo image, thanks to three chorusing options. Choose mild modulation, spacious stereo imaging, or chorusing that’s similar to tightly double-tracked vocals.
Easy to Tweak, Even Easier with Presets
It’s easy to dial up sounds with CLA vocals, and you’ll be inspired by how it brings out the best in your voice. Choose from the superb collection of factory presets, create your own variations, or design sounds from scratch.
CLA Vocals—Works Every Time
“The most important part of any song is the vocals. I have taken the very best chains I use in my mixes every day, and poured them all into CLA Vocals. Vocalists want that sound on their vocals all the time, because that’s the thing about these chains—they’re designed to sound great and cut through every single time.”—Chris Lord-Alge
