Sonnox Claro (Native, Download)
Description
Whether you're a bedroom producer or a Grammy-winning pro, you want to take control to develop your own musical voice. 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.
How does Claro benefit you?
Staying focused is difficult, it slows the production process and kills creativity.
Specifically designed to offer "Vibe first, detail later", Claro has three distinct views which help to build your EQ intuition and confidence without interrupting the flow. You'll be guided towards making the right decision for you, first time, every time.
After having reduced masking from your previously muddy mix, have you ended up with something lifeless or sterile?
Of course you have, but were you aware that not all masking is bad all of the time? Masking can impart body, thickness and presence to your tracks. Claro identifies masking and empowers you to learn and choose whether it is problematic or positively contributing to the tone you're trying to achieve.
Resonance isn't always bad.
Resonances are the sharp, tonal characteristics that ring over time, like the overtones of a bell. They can cause things to sound harsh or boxy, and while you might be tempted to notch out or remove all of the resonances, they also help determine that sound's character, including its pitch.
When searching for resonant areas to tweak, Claro shows precise peaks and highlights those that resonate most over time.
You don't always refer to audio in specific Hz, so why should your Plug-In?
Claro's friendly, intuitive interface guides you towards frequency ranges using familiar words such as 'Mud' and 'Harshness' in addition to Hz. A piano keyboard is also displayed to set your EQ band to a specific note helping you to work musically.
Three Distinct Views
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.
User Feedback
"You know, I'm a complainer. And really, honestly, everything with Claro is really well thought out."
- Adam Hawkins (Twenty One Pilots, Machine Gun Kelly, Yungblud)
"I’ve been using it in every mix since I got the beta and I can’t wait to tell the world. It’s the ease of use, the Mix view where you can see every track at a glance, pair some tracks, compare their EQ curves, do inverse EQ moves to make everything fit. It’s such a huge time saver to be able to do everything in one Plug-In"
- Nuno Fernandes (Bryan Adams, Elisa, Diana Krall)
"I love the sound and feel of this Plug-In, and the resonance visual feedback is better than anything else I’ve used"
- Mike Exeter (Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Cradle of Filth)
"I've got really into using this Plug-In now, it took a little time but now I feel like I can’t live without it! Mix mode is proving invaluable. It’s amazing!"
