CLA Nx.
Chris Lord-Alge's mix room on headphones, with head tracking for a stable image.

Overview
Mix in his room.
CLA Nx recreates the acoustics of Chris Lord-Alge's Mix LA control room on headphones, using the Waves Nx spatial engine. The purpose is judgement rather than flattery, since depth, balance, stereo image and reverb are all hard to assess accurately on headphones. You can switch between his NS10-modelled and custom Ocean Way monitors, and correction curves for over 270 headphone models flatten your own pair before the room is applied.
