This plugin is cool. I use IK Multimedia Joe Chiccarelli’s vocal plugin now. That this is a beast

@homestudioacademy Жыл бұрын

Yeah, it’s great for beginners because of how easy it is to use. Haven’t tried the Joe Chiccarelli’s plugin but maybe in the future I’ll do a review!

Here's an issue no one seems to have noticed. The mono/stereo version of this plugin produces stereo effects with no way to keep them mono. Consequently, when the mix is switched to mono, the level of the vocals drops, making it fall back into the mix. Even inserting a plugin immediately after CLA Vocals to convert back to mono fails to rectify this issue - likely due to some phasing misalignment.

@@diane_dy Sorry, no. I'd forgotten all about it. I just looked on the project where I'd discovered the issue. It seems I must have given up and just switched to the 'Stereo' version, which doesn't have this problem.

It’s the plug-in on a buss on directly on the inserts of the track

Its cool to get your vocal as dialed in as you can with other plugins then use this at the end and scroll the presets to see if it somehow makes the vocal better or it might create a cool sound to layer on top of your vocal.

@homestudioacademy Жыл бұрын

That is definitely worth a try too, you may get a cool effect. But typically, I either use this plug in as a “all in one” or just mix with individual plugins from my DAW

Awesome! What I can tell you is that nothing is set in stone. Ryan Tedder’s go-to preset works for his own voice but does not necessarily mean it will work for everyone else’s. So just mess around with the settings for your own voice. As a rule of thumb though, less is more.

Do you believe this is good enough to make albums with just this plugin alone?

@homestudioacademy Жыл бұрын

Definitely not! This plug in just a tool to create music. There is so much more that goes into making a record: songwriting, lyrics, melody, arrangement, a great performance, producing, mixing and mastering. I’ve used it in my productions before and had good results. However, as I stated at the end of the video, I do prefer to mix with individual plug ins because it gives me more control of the overall sound. I recommend the CLA VOCALS for beginners, those who don’t want to go in too deep into mixing or those that just need a good sound on the go.

Hey lildrummerboy80, the vocal chain used on this video was: Neumann Tlm102 Mic, going into my Apollo Twin (clean/no UAD plugins used) and just adding the CLA vocals plugin to my vocal track.

@@lildrummerboy80 what interface are you using? Also, do you use a cloud lifter with your SM7B? I know it’s a gain hungry mic and if not, that might help you get a better signal. Just keep in mind that the SM7B is a dynamic mic and the TLM102 is a condenser mic so it’s not an apple to apples type comparison.

Nolan is this worth getting if you have CLA epic already ?

@homestudioacademy Жыл бұрын

I haven’t tried the CLA EPIC but from what I heard it’s more geared towards delays and reverbs. The CLA Vocals is more focused in being an all in one vocal plugin which includes (eq, compression, delay and reverb). I think it’s worth it for the price but at the end of that day it depends on what results you are trying to achieve.

Hey Rita, it’s a vocal plug in so I’m sure it will work not just for singing vocals but rap as well. Of course, you will need to experiment with some of the settings for that application. However, I did state at the end of the video that I do prefer to mix using individual plugins and made a video on how to mix that way as well: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aa2dh9l936fVhok.html

i vote for reading the manual before "reviewing". yeah, just a 4 minute quicky. but you called the goal to review and help - and forgot to mention you mean "helping your click count by gaining attention by catchy claims". i like the plugin, know the controversial potential - got me even a comment. for your algorithm. worked out so far. the 4th option is "grey" and means not working - if there is selected one of the 3 its working event with faiders on 0. gain matching and comparing dry/wet. the routing is also interesting/important. yeah i know, just 4 minutes and you are going for beginners - but you would help them i think - at least not missdirecting i hope. no value at all.

Hey Jan, thanks for taking the time to leave a comment. I’m sorry you feel that way. I did the best I could with the time I have to create the video and as I pointed out at the end, I do prefer mixing with individual plug ins but this is a great alternative for beginners and those starting out with music production.
