Techivation are fledgling developers that have already released a couple of powerful yet simple pay-for plugins (T-Compressor and T-De-Esser Pro) as well as a couple of simpler yet perfectly capable freebies (T-De-Esser and T-DeEsser Plus). For their third outing they’ve turned their attention to sorting out your mid range and the plugin in question is the suitably titled T-Clarity (VST, VST3, AU & AAX).
In keeping with their other plugins, this features a pretty simple interface, with frequency range selectors (Low, Lo-Mid, Mid, Hi-Mid), attack rate (Sharpness), gain reduction ratio (Intensity), threshold (Processing) and output level slider (Output). Metering includes an output Level meter and gain reduction metering on the right, while the filter band specific input level is indicated by a halo around the Processing control.
To help you hear what’s going on you have two signal monitoring options – Filter and Difference. The first lets you hear in isolation the target frequency set by the range selector, the second lets you hear just the effect being applied. Finally, the dropdown menu in the top right reveals various extra features including the presets (bank of 20), GUI scale (four options) and Oversampling (x1 up to x16).
