Candor

An honest look at your plugin chain.

Put your plugins inside it, and it shows what each one does to the sound, each in its own color. When two of them fight, it tells you where and why.

  • EQ
  • Compressor
  • Saturator
  • Limiter

It also matches the loudness before and after, so louder never fools your ears.
