I swear this thing is so bad ass.
The hardware blows away the software.
If you guys have it I'm telling you, try it for vocals, you'll be amazed. I know most people use it for mastering but it's money on vocals. I've yet to find anything that touches it.
I sold all of my hardware when coranavirus reduced my work hours but the clariphonic will be the first thing I reorder. And probably another audioscape 76A lol
Anyone else use the hw on vocals?

Yeah. jtc111 has one. I played around with it for an afternoon. It is a sweet piece of gear. |

I’ve never used the hardware, but have worked with both versions of the software a bit. I’ve never really gelled with it, so I’d love to hear what you guys like about the hardware version. Mostly I guess I’m just rarely in a position of really needing to add more top end to anything.

I have the hardware. Use it on cymbals and on the mixbus. miklo, how do you use it on vocals? Add some shine on top? |

Usually just the focus knob at about 50%. I actually rarely touch the clarity knob.
What I notice is it instantly gives me the modern vocal that puts it right where it should be without any harshness.
Esp when I do playback on secondary lower grade speakers like Avantones, it reveals its magic.
And I don't get along with the software at all. People claim they can be close but the hardware just has this 3D smooth hifi quality.

Thanks, I'll have to check that out. I have the Clarity knob at 11 o'clock with the Silk setting for mixes. How do you set the Lift/Open and Tight/Diffuse switches for vocals?
I have a few Dolby A units with modified cards for that old Dolby Vocal Stressor trick, but I bet the Clariphonic makes it easier and smoother.

This is my setting for vox. I don't engage the Clarity section at all.  |

Your Clariphonic seems to be different than mine, though...

Yes. You have the first one. They came out with a new one that is different and includes a cut switch and mid side processing. Both are awesome. |

That explains it, thanks. Mid-side, cut and boost...well...no, I'm not gonna spend more money...  |
