    Gonna definitely give the cla NX version plug a try. Another mixing engineer I follow recommended the abbey road studio version. Maybe because it offers the surround sound capabilities. Waves is currently offering a NX version package that contains all of the nx plugins excluding the abbey road studios version for $79 USD. I think you’re spot on about those ambience settings on the cla nx plug. It would probably be better for to keep mine between 60-75% since I have enough reverb already baked into some of the samples I use. Seems like the cla nx plug would be useful in determining if you’re overdoing it with reverb too. I plan on turning off the effects on all of my tracks and redo them through the nx plugs. Good video.
