Hello!

A friend told me about the waves cla bass and he was so enthusiastic
(just throw it in the channel and you get fast results).
I have downloaded the demo of the cla signature collection now and briefly tested the cla bass yesterday.
And I have to say that, in a view minutes I've had nearly better results
than in tweaking my Amplitube or GuitarRig bass amps for hours.
But I think with better skills, my IKM T-Racks CS Grand and my DAW plugins (I use Cockos Reaper)
and some free stuff (variety of sound...) I'll get the same results.

Now I've seen the cla signature collection at audiodeluxe.com for a price of $179. :o
So, would you buy it for that price??Or should I resist?

Installation on win xp worked fine, although the gui of the plugin crashed, what was the fault
of my old grapgic-card driver.
But I want to upgrade my audio pc to win 7 in the next month, and on my laptop with win 7 and 64 bit applications
the plugin seems to work first, but then crashes the daw when closing the fx window
(reaper/64bit and cubase 6 elements trial/64 bit).
Deleting the 32 bit .dll doesn't change anything, will try a new installation later.
Any others did have such problems and what have you done?

Best regards,

Michael

I did test the Waves CLA signature bundle and was impressed that it can give pleasing results very fast. However, and this happened every time.. I started to take it away one for one and put my own plugin chain and in the end.. I liked it better.

Maybe it's all between my ears, but putting my own favorite eq/dynamic plugins and send fx gives me more control and in the end, that's what I prefer.

Love the CLA Classic Compressor bundle btw!

Waves CLA and T-Racks grand CS overlaps on some things... Someone with a more trained ear, can talk about the differences on them?

CLA sig is fantastic - if you can accept the cpu usage, which is craaaay

works fine on WinXP now, since I've updated the graphic-card driver.But on win7 (my internet-laptop) I've got that problems.And because I want to get a new audio-pc with win7 it makes me a bit nervous.

That is exactly what I was thinking!It's a good starting point for a roughmix or to hear, what I could do better with my already existing plugins.But I still have so many tutorials to learn from, so it probably makes more sense, to invest in a pc, which is faster and get a good soundcard.
But I'm still undecided, I'll play around with the bundle six more days...

Ah! I was thinking about compressors. Sorry for the noise on your thread.
