    Your Cymbals. Clarified.

    Mixing overhead and room tracks has always been extremely challenging no matter how good at mixing you are or how great the equipment used is. DF-CLARIFY was the first plugin targeted at optimizing your cymbal recordings to sound more pleasing and musical. DF-CLARIFY 2 uses a proprietary algorithm developed from years of real-world mixing experience and intelligently applies it to your source recording. Clarify your cymbals like never before and take control of your cymbal mixes.


    New EQ Match

    EQ matching doesn’t need to be complicated or difficult. DF-Clarify 2 allows you to quickly sidechain an external source and apply EQ matching to the source sound. Fix terrible guitar tones, give your mix a more radio EQ curve, or find the perfect bottom end. Whatever you need EQ matching assistance on, DF-Clarify 2 is your best weapon of choice.


    Take Control. Get Total Clarity

    Whether your cymbals need drastic surgery or minimal taming, DF-CLARIFY allows you to quickly and easily obtain the perfect cymbal tone you’ve always sought after. Adjust the intensity of the clarity with the smooth knob. The weight control allows you to focus where our proprietary algorithm applies its strength. The soften control allows you to relax the top end of your cymbals in a very musically pleasing way. Your cymbal recordings will take on new life and musicality.


    A Decade + Of Better Sounding Cymbals

    Cymbals, no matter how well recorded, usually sound harsh and have some unpleasant elements. We’ve developed our proprietary algorithm over many years of extensive testing and refining in the real world. DF-CLARIFY has been proven for over a decade now on many well-known, billboard charting recordings and has even been used in our award-winning drum sample libraries. Now our secret weapon is yours to clear up your own recordings. Make your cymbals the most attractive sounding pieces of brass with DF-CLARIFY 2.

    I got it for cymbals, and it does the thing really well. Tried it on some other things with mixed results. Vocals, kick and snare worked reasonably well, guitars not so much. Overall this has levelled up my productions, clearing up cymbal mud and giving the drums a more elegant sound.

    Fast Results

    I get excellent results quickly. Easy to use. I didnt understand how to use the EQ match.
    Not low on CPU but I understand we have only 1 overheads in a mix section. Didnt use other drum forge product like the DF Q2. if takes to much CPU, it will be complicated to use Clarify and Q2 in the same session.

    PROs: Clean interface, easy to use, excellent results.

    CONS: Not low on CPU. EQ Match takes time to configure.

    Machine used: AMD Ryzen 5 7535HS, NVidia RTX 3050, 16Gb DDR5 Ram

    A Subtle Companion

    why you buy this one? Simple: because you cant decide on how bright you want the cymbals to be. So, once more you let the magic happen by the minds of the DF team!
    Just add an Overheads track :-)

    Incredible

    This piece of software is totally useful to quickly fix overheads, and even rooms. I definitely use it on all my mix right now!

    Simple Refined Control

    My first use of DF-Clarify 2 has been to clarify the lead vocal on mixed music tracks. I did not have access to the original recorded tracks and was able to use this to nicely bring out the vocal as needed. It didn't additionally pull up other instruments in a negative way or add harshness as another clarifier did. I'm looking forward to applying it in other uses. Well done! Thank you.

    Enjoy creating! 🔥

    I can’t use it

    It’s doing something, but the analyzer is useless, doing wierd things and the paramters are not understandable.

    definitely useful!

    While this not an end all be all plugin, it is very useful. It takes away cymbal "trashiness" and can add some nice air up top. It does not fix HH's that are a bit too intense in the OH's. Overall, quite a nice plugin, very useful. I would definitely recommend.

    A helping hand.

    A very subtle enhancement to your cymbals, most notable when your mix gets loud and high end information starts to compete. It won’t ruin your source material, or you personal eq decisions.

    Works really well!

    Jjst finished a song and got this the day before I did the final mix. Added it to my drum track on Ableton(MIDI,Drum Rack) and this gave it so much more dynamic range. I plan on trying it out on vocal tracks and guitar soon. It is a good buy.
