Q-Clone turns your favorite outboard equalizer into a
plug-in—with all the flexibility that implies. Q-Clone opens up possibilities
audio engineers could only dream about until now: Duplicate the sound of your
hardware EQ on multiple tracks simultaneously; save that hardware sound inside
your DAW; capture the sound of two of your equalizers chained together, and more!
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.
