Clearmountain's Hardware FX-Workflows for your DAW

Over decades of mixing hit songs, Clearmountain has developed a complex and personalized hardware FX signal chain to create imaginary soundscapes in which the musical elements each have their own space and dimension, but are still connected to the whole. This FX signal chain, which has been developed over years, includes all the hardware equipment of a studio - live echo chambers, delays, harmonizers, de-esser, EQs and a large analog SSL mixer and lots of patch cables... so many patch cords! It turned out to be almost impossible to reproduce this complicated connection of hardware with individual plug-ins in a DAW. With Clearmountain's Domain it is refreshingly easy to get Bob's results with a simple click on a preset.
