just checked out waves site and they have a new set of plugins CLA signature series looks pretty cool and free if your a mercury owner, just thought i would share

is it the CLA Classic Compressors bundle?

I bought this a few months ago and man, they are absolutely great... I love them, I have a few nice pieces of outboard comps but not enough, and this bundle do the job very nice

I think these just got released today it's not the compressors it's a whole new chris lord signiutes series

Thanks for posting this.

I just downloaded them and am ambivalent.
They seem kind of dumbed down.
Very basic adjustments.
Not bad, but as a tweaker, I want to be able to fine tune.

I'm not sure I understand this new paradigm.
It seems like prepackaged, watered down versions of Waves plugs with very limited editing capability.

Just my first impressions.

Second impressions...

These things sound pretty darned good.
I've messed around with various combinations and compared them to what I can come up with by chaining my other plugs.

I slapped the vocal plug on a submix of background vocals and it was really nice.
Fast and easy to get a great sound.
I tried it on a lead vocal and was similarly impressed.

I'm not sure if I know how I will use these plugs, but I do have to say, they sound very nice.
It is very easy to quickly get a workable sound albeit with limited parameters.
Maybe that is the strength of this new paradigm.
