Clarity Spectral Unmasking Processor

Clarity is a neural-network unmasking processor that clears the frequency conflicts making your mix sound crowded. Insert it on the track that’s in the way, sidechain the sound that needs to shine, and Clarity ducks only the frequencies where the two collide — automatically, dynamically, and with just two knobs. Transparent until you need it, surgical when you do.

Clarity is a neural-network unmasking processor designed to resolve the frequency conflicts that make mixes sound crowded and small. Drop it on the track that’s in the way, feed the sound that needs to shine into its sidechain, and Clarity listens to both across eight frequency bands from 90 Hz to 22 kHz — continuously carving out space only where the two signals actually fight. Unlike a static EQ or a broadband sidechain that ducks everything at once, Clarity was trained on real professional multitrack mixes to hear masking the way an engineer does: it ducks exactly the frequencies that collide, exactly when they collide, and gets out of the way the moment the conflict passes.

Two knobs run the show. Sensitivity sets how readily the detector calls something masked, and Depth sets how hard those bands are ducked — up to 24 dB of per-band reduction. Eight live meters show you what the model hears in real time, band by band, so you can see the collision as well as hear it resolved. For the modular-minded, all eight per-band masking amounts are also available as CV outputs on the back panel, ready to drive anything in your rack.
