MEET MASTERING LAB

Mix tracks.
Shape a master.

Mastering Lab brings the 23 Clios processors to iPhone and Mac. Import one mixed track for mastering, or multiple stems for mixing with a rack on each track and another on the master. Compare original and processed audio, inspect loudness and true peak, then export a WAV.

The app and plug-ins are in development. Captures come from working builds.

01 / CHOOSE THE RESPONSE

Latency when it matters.

Many processors offer an Exact mode and a lower-latency monitoring mode. The lower-latency path can change phase or timing, so the mode is a sound choice as well as a workflow choice.

02 / MOVE BETWEEN SCREENS

One processing family.

The desktop processors and Mastering Lab share their audio engines. The app brings those tools into Master and Mix workflows with A/B listening and export.

03 / BUILD THE SIGNAL PATH

Route past one chain.

Clios Rack hosts other AU and VST3 effects inside serial, parallel and nested split paths. Its frequency splits can favor zero added latency or linear phase.

EQ.

24-band dynamic equalizer

A precision EQ with up to 24 bands, including bells, shelves, cuts and notches. Bands can target Stereo, Mid, Side, Left or Right; bell and shelf bands can also respond dynamically to level.

What it adds The current desktop editor has draggable points, band solo, a live analyzer, and visible Dynamic Range and Threshold controls. Its filter path adds no latency.

Tone.

Passive tone equalizer

Shapes broad low and high frequencies, including simultaneous low boost and attenuation. Bandwidth, high attenuation and harmonics add tonal character.

What it adds Provides wider, more colored moves alongside the precise cuts and dynamic bands of Clios EQ.

Tape.

Tape machine

Adds level-dependent saturation and a low-frequency head bump. Input drives the tape behavior, Output restores level and Speed changes the tonal response.

What it adds A compact three-control way to round transients and change low-end weight. Its tape model remains under refinement.

ToneIN DEVELOPMENT

Exciter.

Multiband exciter

Adds harmonics independently in up to four bands. Each band has its own character, Amount and Mix, with crossovers and a global Mix for the whole effect.

What it adds Lets low and high frequencies receive different kinds and amounts of excitation instead of coloring everything equally.

ToneIN DEVELOPMENT

Saturate.

Multiband saturation

Divides the signal into bands and applies drive, style, tone and mix separately to each one. Crossover and phase controls set how the bands rejoin.

What it adds Can add grit to one region and leave another clean; harmonic and spectrum views reveal the resulting color.

Color.

Tube color and saturation

Layers pentode and triode character with optional saturation and air. Input, calibration, density, output and mix set the overall drive.

What it adds Mid/Side operation and separate Side drive can color the edges of a group differently from its center.
