Whether you’re a bedroom producer or a Grammy-winning pro, Claro allows you to take control and develop your own musical voice. This comprehensive EQ Plug-In serves the production process from composition to final mix with three distinct views that progressively add deeper insight and precision. Claro prevents mud, clutter, or harshness and helps you create a clear and balanced mix.
How does Claro benefit you?
Staying focused is challenging and can slow down the production process, killing creativity. Claro is specifically designed with a “Vibe first, detail later” approach, featuring three distinct views that build your EQ intuition and confidence without interrupting the creative flow. It guides you towards making the right decision every time.
Managing Masking and Resonance: Claro identifies masking and empowers you to decide whether it is problematic or positively contributes to the tone you’re trying to achieve. Additionally, it helps you understand the role of resonances, which are tonal characteristics that can add to or detract from your sound’s character.
User-Friendly Interface: Claro offers an intuitive interface, guiding you towards frequency ranges using familiar terms such as ‘Mud’ and ‘Harshness,’ alongside a piano keyboard for setting EQ bands to specific notes, aiding musical work.
Three Distinct Views:
- Produce View: A fast, creative EQ that promotes musical creativity by removing distractions and complex technical terms, allowing broad EQ moves to inspire different musical decisions.
- Tweak View: Opens up more correctional possibilities with clean, flexible filters. A real-time analyser adapts to your adjustments and helps identify problematic resonances.
- Mix View: Allows understanding and assembly of your mix with all tracks displayed simultaneously. Quickly address frequency collisions and prioritise tracks for a balanced mix.
Additional Features:
- Produce – Tone: Builds EQ intuition and confidence, helping you focus on energy and tonal characteristics to achieve desired sounds.
- Produce – Width: Facilitates mid-side EQ adjustments for cleaning up stereo synths and loops, and creating space for vocals.
- Tweak: Allows fine-tuning of details, including resonance, left/right, and mid/side balance adjustments, and control over boxiness or harshness.
- Mix: Visualizes all Claro instances across your project to explore corrective EQ moves and reduce masking between competing tracks.
