In this final part of our series for Studio One Expert, Brent looks at the Waves CLA Guitar plugin. Brent shows how to use the clean and crunch modes effectively to add specific characteristics. Brent also discusses how compression and EQ can be used to bring more guitar into the mix.

CLA Guitars is an excellent plugin if you want to mix great sounding guitar in your DAW quickly, and the interface takes all the guesswork without needing significant adjustments.

The CLA Guitars plug has other features. It has three killer amp simulations built-in - clean, crunch and heavy. These, coupled with the slider parameters give you a ton of very cool sounds. With the included presets it is easy to get the first results quickly.
