Amazing plugin. But if there is a dynamic option too on eq bands with sidechain. One beats it would be. Quality is too good. Clean.

Claro
Creative approach to EQ, despite being happy with fairly high end IZOTOPE and WAV plugins. .The GUI is innovative and practical as simple or as intrcate as one might need or wish. The sound output is very musical and "errs" on the side of subtlety. Claro also is also educational re masking . In truth I look forward to playing with it much more. The tech is so intuitive and is so transparent that it did almost all I ever needed at its least sophisticated levels . To be upfront, I am on one of the fastest computers (GPU GPU and disc I/O imaginable.) So, YMMV on less powerful workstations. This might limit your ability to put a claro on each track to explore (see and hear) masking contributions to a targeted main track. Great fun. I m very happy with this, and do not miss dynamic EQ one bit yet. Just in case. I also picked up a sonnox dynamic EQ. I.have for decades respected and enjoyed Sonnox. Their deal with focus rite (offering for free -SOFTEN...which works!) got me onto the SONnOX WEBSITE. to my astonishment they were selling their products at 90% off! Hope it's still there for you.
