*Also CLA:* "I'm gonna show you how to do this in your DAW!"

We all should be thankful to Chris and Waves for showing us his 'kitchen secrets' when it comes to mixing. This is priceless really. Thank you chap!

[sendforacar]

He should change his name to Chris Lord Analogy.

" I want some red velvet on my donut" ...CLA, the first man to ever combine gear porn with food porn.

[madmac]

“Plain donut! I don’t wanna plain donut” priceless, thank you. I just love this approach

[RichardTheWizard]

The thing I love most about CLA is how he’s stuck to what works for him all these years. He’s not out here chasing trends. He uses time tested techniques that are always tasteful. Plus that donut analogy was spot on! Lol

[damienlott]

Hats off to waves for finally record a tutorial with Cla where you can actually see the desk with a cenital shot. Much appreciated!!!

[JPMarques]

CLA Bakery, soon close to you!

Thanks for the valuable content, Waves/CLA

[DavidDiMuzio]

Wham-O, Zippo, bang, boom, slap! I'm not sure what's better ...his mixing or his use of onomatopoeia?

[vkhor]

I like the analogy of the ingredients put together of various amounts to make the track or donut. Some are better communicators and teachers than others and he is the better one.

[Oleoproteus]

Thank you Waves Audio and CLA.
short episodes, straight to the point ! no blabla ! great and really fun

[osanan]

What I like the most about CLA is that he gives a damn about "the rules", and focus on what he needs to do to make the song sound better.

[greganikin]

I love his straight forward attitude. No bulshit. Just pure tech talk without any polished shiny glitter like many other engineers have.

[reshammaan]

Drinking game: take a shot every time he says “okay”

[chaozeffect]

These are some of the best explained and complete videos I've seen over here BTW.Thank you very much for sharing a touch of your magic!

[gutekzpoligonu]

Now I'M SURE, that there will be some "DEPTH" reverb/delay plugin from CLA. It's great from one particular reason - most of His hardware is hard to buy even on reverb or ebay.

11:55 - “you got a plain donut right there… a plain donut... I DONT WANT THAT!”

[RobbJolleymusic]

Would someone please invite Chris to your BBQ? The man is STARVING! How many more hints does he need to drop until we get this man a steak and baked potato?

[ClangLab]

And this is just Chris moving faders without an open session. Imagine how much can we all learn when he opens it.
