The Chris lord-Alge Signature Series by Waves Black Friday deal puts 83% off the six-plugin bundle, bringing it to $64.99 until Nov 26, 2026.
The series packs the mixing chains Chris Lord-Alge uses on his records into plugins with only a few knobs each. Waves says they cover vocals, drums, bass, guitars and more.
The maker's pitch is that you get a finished-sounding chain without building one stage by stage. That leaves you free to stay on the music instead of the signal chain.
The bundle has six plugins:
They are aimed at vocals, drums, bass, guitar and acoustic instruments. Waves singles out CLA Vocals as the one for standout vocal presence.
Each plugin boils a whole mixing chain down to a handful of controls. Instead of gain staging EQ, compression and effects one by one, you reach the same result through a few knobs.
Waves says these are the chains CLA uses on records for Foo Fighters, Green Day, Bruce Springsteen, The Rolling Stones and Nine Inch Nails, among others.
Presets come from Chris himself. The idea is that you load one and get a usable starting point right away, then adjust from there.
The maker says the speed is the point: mix fast, keep your ideas moving, and avoid stalling on technical setup.
On Mac, the plugins run on macOS Monterey 12, Ventura 13, Sonoma 14 and Sequoia 15, in VST, AU and AAX formats.
On PC, you need Windows 10 or later, and the plugins come as VST and AAX.
So if you want a Chris Lord-Alge Signature Series VST or AAX version for your DAW, both are covered on Mac and PC. AU is Mac only.
For anyone building a vocal chain in the box or sending drums to a bus, the bundle gives you six ready-made starting points from a mixer whose credits run from Foo Fighters to The Rolling Stones. Check the formats above against your DAW and you know where you stand.
