Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
I received my Clarity M a few hours ago. I've already customized the logo, and my display. Since I did not want to just monitor from the plugin, and all sources, I hooked up the digital input to the S/PDIF output on my UA Apollo interface. I can't believe how valuable having this information in front of me at all times is already proving to be. I mounted it on my piano controller using a gooseneck stand I bought awhile back for a phone, or tablet. Using some 3M double sided tape, it worked perfectly, although this unit is heavier than you might think, as it's made of metal Customizing the display was quite easy, and adding my own studio logo to the unit was a piece of cake.I highly recommend this is you have a studio. The information available is very valuable for mixing, tracking, and checking out any source for volume levels, and doing real time analysis of any signal.
