Sonnox Claro

Visual Mixing Companion

I use this plugin mainly for unmasking frequencies. Sonnox does a great job allowing you to reference a track and then compare other tracks where you insert the plugin. The spectrum lights up in a yellowish color to tell you, Hey, this is a problem area between these two tracks. You can then do some correcting with the invert function by boosting or cutting to carve space so both tracks can breathe. I previously used Waves Resolve for unmasking tracks in my mixes, however I am getting a lot better results with Claro. Sonnox has some impressive plugins. No regrets on this purchase.

Great EQ

Sonnox simply delivers. No presets, which might be a thing for beginners, but I like that. Presets are just a one size fits none. The ease to use the reference of other tracks, the quality, the 3 was to approach the tracks......simply great.

Easy. Great. Diverse.

Sonnox Claro is great. It features three tabs/approaches: Produce – Apply broad strokes of M/S equalisation in L-M-H bands based on adjustable crossfade frequencies. Tweak – Jump here for fully fledged digital EQ sculpting capabilities. Mix – Study frequency clashing and correct masking. It lines up all tracks that have Claro inserted and shows heat maps, helping you make the right EQ decisions when/if your ears fool you after long sessions. All three tabs are interconnected—they're merely different views or approaches to your moves. Nice one!
