Videos
• Getting Around the GUI (05:22) - Learn about the signal routing and general user interface found in CLA Epic.
• Tape Delay (07:08) - Explore the various parameters in this delay module, and several different approaches to using it on a lead vocal.
• Delay Modulation (05:35) - Hear how the four quadrants of the modulation knob are used to adjust both the depth and the rate (speed) of modulation applied to the repeats generated from the delay modules.
• Throw (04:08) - See how the Trigger button lets you manually start and stop the Throw delay effect, and how to automate the parameter to have the delay come in and out only when you want.
• Slap (05:17) - Learn how this delay emulates the tonal curves associated with different tape speeds, and how it is used for tight delays that sound similar to a short spring reverb when high feedback values are used.
• Crowd (04:24) - The Crowd delay creates a series of increasingly longer delays that diminish over time to make the source richer and lusher. Hear it in action on a female lead vocal.
• Reverbs Pt. 1 (07:29) - Explore the similarities and differences between the Plate, Room, and Hall reverbs, and how they are used together to create complex spaces. Hear how parallel and serial delay routings influence how the reverbs are triggered.
• Reverbs Pt. 2 (04:47) - Watch how the Space decay parameter is used to end the tail before the reverb time setting, how the modulation influences the reverb tail, and how Space and Room are combined on a drum kit reverb return.
