Description
Focusrite Clarett Thunderbolt Interface
The Focusrite Clarett 2Pre from Focusrite is a ten-input, four-output Thunderbolt interface that features microphone preamps modeled after the companys ISA range. Aside from the new transformer-modeled preamps and clean conversion, the Thunderbolt technology allows for monitoring and tracking within a DAW of choice without noticeable delay.
The Focusrite Red 2 and Red 3 Plug-In Suite (AAX, Audio Units, VST) delivers accurately modeled plug-ins based on the classic Focusrite Red 2 EQ and Red 3 Compressor hardware. The plug-ins allow for conveniently exploring the sound of the hardware originals from within Pro Tools (10 and above), along with other audio software.
In addition to the Red 2 and Red 3 Plug-in Suite, the interface includes the Softube Time and Tone Pack. Modeled after the Drawmer 1973 FET Stereo compressor hardware, the Drawmer S73 Intelligent Master Processor is a plug-in that aids in balancing and shaping a mix. TSAR-1R adds space, depth and width to a sound. Change settings with a single slider, from realistic three-dimensional rooms to dramatic and dreamlike halls. Tube Delay is an echo effect that can go from clean to rude by overdriving its three modeled tube stages, delivering everything from realistic room echoes and rockabilly-style slapback to dub reggae echo. Saturation Knob is a modeled output distortion unit that adds grit and warmth use it to fatten up bass lines, add some harmonics and shimmer to vocals, or simply destroy a drum loop.
