  • Here's what I really think of the new Claro EQ plugin from Sonnox. A full review of the features with audio examples on a full mix. This is an incredibly intuitive EQ offering tonal and stereo imaging spectral analyzers, multi-channel/buss masking analyzers, and all the professional EQ tools you could possibly need!

    I don’t care if it doesn’t have dynamics, for dynamic’s probably I have other things.
    “ Just Eq ? “, yeah but is the best EQ.
    This plug-in it is amazing.

    You have the best review of the product, as far as I an tell. One other very good review conducts it almost entirely on a single acoustic piano performance, which is limiting. It is good the way you explain all the features. This isn't just another EQ, but it's actually a suite of EQ products in one plugin, all linked together in a logical way, and, like you said, just go ahead and put on instance on each channel, as well as the Master Buss. It's that useful.

    Thanks for the v,ideo mate!!! This tool really hit the market today, it is everywhere. Dynamic EQ is a must, that is for sure.
    How is it on the CPU? Is it easy on the go especially on the mix part. I have neutron, I really love it but when I use MASK feature CPU go nuts :)

      It’s definitely the heaviest loading part of the plugin. I had up to 7 instances of the plugin working on my M1 and it was fine when working in Logic. My computer only had buffering issues a couple of times making this video when I was Screencasting (recording the video/audio) plus I had FinalCut ProX running in the background…

    awesome vid Ed, I appreciate it. IMHO it's just too much, too many options and too many "smart" EQ's on the market. It gets overwhelming and gets in the way of making the composition as good as possible so as to barely need any EQ (if that makes sense?) Thanks again! Love your content brother!

    • @EdThorne
