Figure 1: Waves CLA Unplugged Plugin Interface

The image above displays the main interface of the CLA Unplugged plugin. It features a top bar for preset management (e.g., 'A: Dream On' preset shown), two rotary knobs for reverb pre-delay, an input sensitivity fader, and a series of six main faders for Bass, Treble, Compress, Reverb 1, Reverb 2, and Delay. Each of these faders has a dedicated button above it to select different processing characteristics. Input and output level meters are also present, along with an output fader and a 'DIRECT' button.

5.2 Controls and Parameters

REVERB 1 PREDELAY / REVERB 2 PREDELAY: These rotary knobs control the pre-delay time for the two distinct reverb effects, allowing you to adjust how quickly the reverb effect begins after the dry signal.
INPUT SENS: This fader adjusts the input sensitivity of the plugin, helping to optimize the signal level entering the processing chain.
BASS (with LOWER button): The Bass fader controls the low-frequency content. The 'LOWER' button engages a specific low-end characteristic, adding depth or punch.
TREBLE (with TOP button): The Treble fader adjusts the high-frequency content. The 'TOP' button activates a distinct high-end characteristic, enhancing clarity or brightness.
COMPRESS (with SPANK button): This fader controls the amount of compression applied. The 'SPANK' button engages a more aggressive or punchy compression style.
REVERB 1 (with CHAMBER button): The Reverb 1 fader controls the level of the first reverb effect. The 'CHAMBER' button selects a specific reverb type, often associated with a rich, spacious room sound.
REVERB 2 (with CANYON button): The Reverb 2 fader controls the level of the second reverb effect. The 'CANYON' button selects another distinct reverb type, often characterized by a longer, more expansive decay.
DELAY (with QUARTER button): This fader controls the level of the delay effect. The 'QUARTER' button sets the delay time to a quarter note, providing a rhythmic echo.
IZLAZ: This fader controls the overall output level of the processed signal.
DIREKTNO: This button bypasses the plugin's processing, allowing you to hear the dry, unprocessed signal.
mjerači nivoa: Visual indicators for input and output signal levels, helping to prevent clipping and ensure optimal gain staging.

6. Otkrivanje problema

If you encounter issues while using the CLA Unplugged plugin, consider the following common solutions:

Plugin Not Appearing in DAW: Ensure you have performed a plugin scan in your DAW after installation. Verify that the plugin is installed in the correct folder for your DAW's plugin format (VST, AU, AAX).
No Sound/Audio Issues: Check your input and output levels within the plugin and your DAW. Ensure the plugin is not bypassed. Verify that your license is active via Waves Central.
