Sonnox Claro EQ Plug-in - Elec Del

Product Description

Whether you're a bedroom producer or a Grammy-winning pro, you want to take control to develop your own musical voice. Sonnox Claro will empower you to make informed musical decisions in a unique and intuitive way. Claro is a comprehensive EQ Plug-In that serves the production process from composition to final mix, with three distinct views, progressively adding deeper insight and precision to prevent mud, clutter, or harshness, helping you blend your tracks into a clear and balanced mix.

THREE DISTINCT VIEWS

Claro sustains focus and accelerates your workflow through three distinct views. The first is the PRODUCE view, offering a fast, creative EQ that actively promotes your musical creativity while removing unnecessary distractions and complex technical terminology.

TWEAK view then opens up more correctional possibilities, providing you with our cleanest, most flexible filters. The real-time analyser adapts to your moves and helps to identify problematic resonances.

Finally, use the MIX view to understand and assemble your mix. Every track is simultaneously displayed for you to prioritise, explore interactions and swiftly address frequency collisions between competing tracks.

PRODUCE - TONE

Build EQ intuition and confidence without interrupting your flow. Broad EQ moves while creating, even if they're subtle, often inspire you to make different musical decisions. Focus on where the energy is and discover what tonal characteristics you want to achieve.

PRODUCE - WIDTH

Mid-side EQ is often essential for cleaning up stereo synths and loops or creating space for vocals, and it's just as quick as Tone shaping. Flip to Width mode to see the side-channel energy and tweak it. Too much rumble in the sides? Mono the bass with the Low Cut Filter. Sounding too 2-dimensional? Spread the high 'air' frequencies.

TWEAK

Sometimes you'll need to dive into finer details, tweak filter resonance, adjust left/right and mid/side balance, or attenuate areas that contribute to boxiness or harshness. Claro's adaptive spectrum analyzer follows the channel (stereo, left/right or mid/side) and the Q of the band you're adjusting to show you what you need to see. No more boosting and sweeping. Claro identifies resonances and highlights them so you can be in control of how much or little you wish to attenuate those resonances.

MIX

View all Claro instances across your project and see how the audio interacts. Drag & drop tracks to explore corrective EQ moves across any combination of tracks from the same window. Yellow highlights indicate where each track in your mix competes against, or masks, your chosen reference track. Areas of masking can lead to it sounding boomy, muddy, or harsh. Use the Invert EQ function to apply corresponding boosts to one track and cuts to another to reduce masking and give each track its own spectral space.
