Q-Clone is a revolutionary new product that lets you use your outboard hardware equalizer
in a completely new way. By capturing the sound of your own gear, Q-Clone allows
you to use that sound freely throughout your session, adjusting the sound of
each track just as you would if you had dozens of that same hardware equalizer.
Real Knobs, Real Hardware Sound
Let's be clear: we're not talking about mousing around on a plug-in
"simulation" with "virtual" knobs. You're using YOUR gear, not a software
version of it. Turn the knobs on your classic box-Q-Clone captures and holds the
exact sound in real time.
Q-Clone has two components: Q-Capture, which is used to
capture the sound of your hardware, and Q-Clone, which shows you the
equalization curve of your hardware and provides other functions. Q-Capture
constantly samples the hardware unit's sound, tracking every twist you make on
your gear's knobs in real time. The calibration feature lets you tune Q-Capture
precisely to your unit's headroom and dB range.
Put your Hardware EQ on as many tracks as you like simultaneously!
Even the most well-equipped studios have a limited supply of outboard
EQs, which limits the channels you can put them on. That limitation disappears
with Q-Clone. It's like opening a closet and finding stacks and stacks (e.g. up
to 24 instances of Q-Clone on a Mac G5 dual 2.5 with Pro Tools or 25 instances
of Q-Clone on PC P4 3.6 with Pro Tools) of your favorite box-enough for every
channel and more.
Put Q-Capture on an Aux track or dedicated audio track (depending on the
DAW). Put Q-Clone on any of the other tracks that you want to process with your
hardware EQ.
Save & recall the sound of your outboard unit inside
your DAW session
No more writing down the settings on your box to get the same sound when you
return to the mix. Q-Clone holds your sound right there when your session opens.
Even more, save MULTIPLE settings as presets and instantly load,
A/B and adjust them.
Q-Clone shows you the EQ curve your hardware unit is creating. The Add
feature lets you equalize that equalization-like have two of your hardware units
chained together. And the Trim adjustment ensures that gain is under
control.
Create unlimited hardware chains
If your sound involves putting two EQs in a chain, Q-Clone can clone that
composition sound, too. Using the Add feature, you can apply new equalization to
a track that's already been equalized. Or create an 8-band EQ version out of
your 4-band favorite hardware. Save the whole as a preset, and get your
signature sound without even having the hardware present.
Have your
outboard EQ and Eat it, too
There's no substitute for the sound and feel of working with a classic analog
equalizer. Keep the sound and feel of your hardware, keep your hands on the
knobs, and augument those tenfold with Q-Clone.
It's so easy
The Q-Clone package consists of two components: Q-Capture and Q-Clone. Using
them is easy:
1. Set up Q-Capture so it sends its
special capturing signal through your audio interface to your outboard hardware
EQ unit and returns the equalized signal back.
2. Open
Q-Clone on the first track you want to EQ. Adjust the knobs on your hardware EQ
unit until you get the sound you want.
3. On the Q-Clone
plug-in, hit the Hold button, and the EQ for that track will now remain just as
you set it, while you repeat the process on as many tracks as your computer can
handle.
You can change and reset the equalization on each track as often as you need,
and save the results as a preset. Using the Add button, you can also make
adjustments on top of the original setting-like having the signal running
through two of your EQ units at once. And Q-Clone comes with presets captured
from a selection of world-class hardware equalizers. Q-Clone is available
separately and is not included in any bundle.
