CLA MixHub brings the sound and workflow of Chris Lord-Alge’s custom 4400-series console into your DAW.

As on a real desk, you mix up to 64 channels in “buckets” of 8, all in the same plugin window, adjusting the EQ and dynamics of several tracks in full musical context. Each channel offers Input with a modelled line amp, Dynamics with sidechaining, CLA’s “super-gate” and the 1176 “Bluey”, plus EQ and Output modules, in any order you like. An extra insert hosts any Waves plugin, and over 240 presets by CLA, Dave Pensado, Greg Wells and others get you started quickly. CLA MixHub Lite, a version with a lighter CPU load, is also included.
