Prior to CLA NX, Ocean Way was my favorite of the bunch. I have all the other NX plugins but I haven’t tried them to see if the head tracking improvement is specific to CLA NX or if it is improved globally. It just feels more like you’re in a room. While it might sound like it would be confusing on paper, in reality it’s not and you instinctively “understand” the changes without feeling like they’re wrong. For example, if you turn your head to look out the window, one ear gets a break. I hardly ever have to click “calibrate” anymore.Īre you using head tracking with NX? It’s not just a gimmick! It goes a LONG way to reducing ear fatigue because it’s varies up what goes to your ear. I’m a big fan of the NX series, but what’s blowing my mind about CLA NX is they seem to have fixed the “drift” issue. I will go back to the original NX, do some mixes and post my view on the comparisons.

Now there is a new ‘CLA’ room iteration to consider - at the moment I am not going to get another version of NX but I did wonder, and hence this post, if any others might have some views on the subject. I have a feeling the original NX does a better job of the basic objective - achieving, on headphones, mixes that are ‘out of the box’ acceptable on speakers with minimal tweaking needed… even (am I really saying this!?) no tweaking at all. Good results also, but I am wondering now if the Nashville iteration is a touch ‘flattering’ and will go back to the original generic NX to make some comparison mixes.

Since then I also got the ‘Nashville’ studio room version and have been giving that some solid use for a couple of months. I got very good results, a massive improvement on any previous headphone mixes (and I’m sure we all know just how bad those can be!)

I was an early adopter of the first ‘generic’ NX plugin and use it with my Sennheiser HD600s, for which NX has a specific EQ curve.
