CLEANX
creative repair FX + radio editCreative repair and FX that cleans up audio while letting you flip it into something new — plus a one-click-per-word RADIO EDIT strip for clean versions.
- Real-time creative repair FX
- RADIO EDIT censor strip
- BLEEP / MUFFLE / GARBLE / BACKSPIN
- AudioSuite (offline) mode in Pro Tools
- Make a real clean version of a real song with the RADIO EDIT strip — one action per word — and time yourself against how long it takes you by hand. If we saved you real minutes, tell us how many; that's the headline claim we want to earn.
- Which censor sounds best? BLEEP, MUFFLE, GARBLE, BACKSPIN — tell us your pick, and whether it still hides the word after a mastering chain.
- Pro Tools users: run it as an AudioSuite render, not just as an insert. Offline processing is its own path and you're the only people who'll exercise it — we'd love to hear it behaves.
- With pitch processing on it reports 1024 samples for your host to compensate — confirm nothing drifts.
Learn CLEANX
QUICK-START · 7 MINChain up to six clip effects — pitch, stutter, DJ FX, reverse — and render a flip or a clean edit fast.
- 01
Get audio in
Hit LOAD to pull a clip into the waveform view (or run CleanX as an insert — I/O MODE Insert processes the track in place). Space or PLAY auditions; ZOOM in for tight selections. BPM follows the host in a DAW.
- 02
Build the chain
Click + to add modules — up to 6 of Pitch, Velocity, Drop/Riser, Stutter, DJ FX and Reverse. Drag the module cards to reorder the signal path, ON/OFF bypasses one in place, × removes it.
- 03
Repitch
In Pitch, set SEMITONES (±24) for the chipmunk or slowed sound and turn FORMANT on so the voice stays believable while shifted. CENTS under the advanced menu fine-tunes a sample exactly into key.
- 04
Chop it up
In Stutter, set DIVISION (1/4–1/32) and REPEATS (2–16) for tempo-synced beat-repeat. Under advanced, GATE clips each hit for a choppier rhythm, ROLL Accel ramps repeats faster for a classic build, and PITCH/REP walks the pitch per repeat.
- 05
DJ moves
In DJ FX, sweep CUTOFF to muffle and reopen, raise ECHO for a tempo-synced throw (ECHO TIME 1/4–1/16), and flip on SCRATCH or BACKSPIN for turntable articulations. Drop/Riser gives you tape-stop DROPS and build-up RISERS with START and LENGTH placing the sweep.
- 06
Render and export
With AUTO on, CleanX re-renders after every change; otherwise hit RENDER. Use DELTA to hear only what changed and BYPASS for the honest A/B, then EXPORT WAV to print the processed clip.
- Velocity's advanced MODE matters: Tape repitches with speed for classic varispeed; Stretch changes duration while keeping pitch.
- Reverse in By-Division mode flips each beat slice in place so the groove still runs forward — Whole reverses the entire selection.
- For clean versions, the RADIO EDIT workflow is one action per word — and in Pro Tools you can run CleanX as an AudioSuite render for offline processing.
- Save a chain you like with SAVE CHAIN — it comes back as a preset. Undo/Redo and A/B cover the experiments.
