        "content": "Here\u2019s a step-by-step guide on how to use **Supertone Clear** in Reaper to make your audio sound cleaner and more professional. I\u2019ll cover installing & activating it, where to put it in your effects chain, how to set the knobs right, and some general Reaper workflows and tips.\n\n---\n\n## 1. What is Supertone Clear?\n\n- It\u2019s a plugin for **de-noising**, **de-reverbing**, and isolating voice from background noise. It splits audio into three channels: **Voice**, **Ambience**, and **Voice Reverb**. ([supertone.ai](https://www.supertone.ai/en/clear?utm_source=openai))  \n- Supported formats: VST, VST3, AU, AAX \u2014 so Reaper on Windows or Mac works fine. ([supertone.ai](https://www.supertone.ai/en/clear?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n## 2. Installing & Activating\n\n1. Download the installer from Supertone\u2019s site. It\u2019ll put the plugin files into your normal VST/VST3 folders. ([naivigate.com](https://naivigate.com/en/outils/audio-voix/supertone-clear?utm_source=openai))  \n2. Open Reaper, let it rescan plugins (or manually do so), so Clear shows up in your FX list. ([naivigate.com](https://naivigate.com/en/outils/audio-voix/supertone-clear?utm_source=openai))  \n3. If you\u2019re trying it, you\u2019ll be in *Trial Mode*. Every 60 seconds, you\u2019ll hear noise, and you won\u2019t be able to save/load presets. ([supertone.ai](https://www.supertone.ai/en/clear?utm_source=openai))  \n4. To activate:  \n   - Load Clear on any track  \n   - Click the menu (top-right corner of the plugin window) \u2192 \u201cActivation\u201d tab  \n   - Enter the license key from your purchase email ([support.supertone.ai](https://support.supertone.ai/hc/en-us/articles/8657667733775-How-do-I-activate-my-plug-in?utm_source=openai))  \n   - Alternatively, use the \u201cActivate in Browser\u201d feature if that's easier. ([support.supertone.ai](https://support.supertone.ai/hc/en-us/articles/8657667733775-How-do-I-activate-my-plug-in?utm_source=openai))  \n5. If activation doesn\u2019t stick, or it reverts to trial mode:  \n   - On Windows: make sure you've got version 1.1.0 or newer, run your DAW as admin. ([support.supertone.ai](https://support.supertone.ai/hc/en-us/articles/9167282546575-Activation-does-not-persist-or-the-plug-in-returns-to-Trial-Mode-How-do-I-fix-it?utm_source=openai))  \n   - On Mac: check that the `userinfo` file exists in the right folder and has correct permissions. ([support.supertone.ai](https://support.supertone.ai/hc/en-us/articles/9167282546575-Activation-does-not-persist-or-the-plug-in-returns-to-Trial-Mode-How-do-I-fix-it?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n## 3. Setting It Up in Reaper\n\n- Once Clear is installed and activated, on a vocal track load it as an **insert FX** early in your chain \u2014 *before* heavy EQ, saturation, compression. This helps it deal with raw problems rather than amplified later down the chain. ([goutsdeluxe.net](https://goutsdeluxe.net/supertone-clear-review-clean-vocals-remove-noise-fast?utm_source=openai))  \n- Use **real-time monitoring** (playback while tweaking) so you can hear what each change does. Reaper supports that.  \n\n---\n\n## 4. How the Controls Work\n\nClear has three main knobs/switches:\n\n| Control | What It Does | How to Adjust |\n|---|---|---|\n| **Voice** | Boosts or reduces the clarity/presence of the vocal component. | Start with this at or slightly above the default. |\n| **Ambience** | Controls the background noise and room tone. | Pull this down until background stops being distracting, but not so far that it sounds hollow. |\n| **Voice Reverb** | Reduces room reflections and echo. | Reduce only as needed to cut down on reverb tail without making the voice sound dry or chopped. |\n\nAdditionally:\n\n- **Split/Straight View**: Visual tools (FFT graphs) that show input vs output, what\u2019s being removed or kept. Helps for fine tuning. ([supertone.notion.site](https://supertone.notion.site/Supertone-Clear-User-Guide-130bc844cf5680e8a5f9e7ad3cac4318?utm_source=openai))  \n- **Mono vs Stereo mode**: If you\u2019re processing a mono vocal track, mono mode can give better clarity; stereo preserves spatial information but uses more CPU. ([supertone.notion.site](https://supertone.notion.site/Supertone-Clear-User-Guide-130bc844cf5680e8a5f9e7ad3cac4318?utm_source=openai))  \n- **Eco Mode**: A CPU-saving mode if your system is struggling. Just note it might reduce quality slightly. ([supertone.notion.site](https://supertone.notion.site/Supertone-Clear-User-Guide-130bc844cf5680e8a5f9e7ad3cac4318?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n## 5. Sample Workflow in Reaper\n\n1. Create or select the track with your recorded vocal.\n2. Insert Clear as the first FX.\n3. Start playback with a section that has the worst noise or reverb.\n4. Set **Voice** first: try default, maybe slightly up.\n5. Lower **Ambience** until background noise is under control.\n6. Adjust **Voice Reverb** to reduce room echo.\n7. Toggle Mono/Stereo if needed for clarity or performance.\n8. Bypass the plugin to compare to the dry sound to check you\u2019re not hurting tone.\n9. Once Clear is dialed in, then you can add EQ, compression, maybe saturation, etc.\n10. When mixing or exporting, check on speakers *and* headphones\u2014different systems reveal artifacts differently.\n\n---\n\n## 6. Common Issues & Tips\n\n- If Reaper crashes or gives errors when inserting Clear, check your version of the plugin & Reaper. Some users had errors on older builds or Windows versions. Updating often fixes it. ([forums.cockos.com](https://forums.cockos.com/showthread.php?t=284820&utm_source=openai))  \n- If startup gets slowed down too much because of plugin scanning, you might temporarily disable scanning while launching, then enable it afterward. (This was mentioned in some community posts.) ([reddit.com](https://www.reddit.com/r/AudioPlugins/comments/1t9ldqv/supertone_clear_stalling_reaper_startup/?utm_source=openai))  \n- Always keep a backup of the raw vocal recording. If you over-process, you might want to go back and apply lighter processing. ([goutsdeluxe.net](https://goutsdeluxe.net/supertone-clear-review-clean-vocals-remove-noise-fast?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\nIf you want, I can walk you through your *specific* setup (mic, room, interface) and suggest settings tailored to what you're working with. That way it\u2019ll sound even better. Do you want me to help with that?"

        "content": "Here are some tips and tools specifically for *JAWS* (and other screen readers) users so you don\u2019t have to click to use Supertone Clear or any plugins in Reaper. I'll walk you through what\u2019s available, and how to set things up so you can control things all from the keyboard.\n\n---\n\n## Key Tools: OSARA & Reaper Accessibility Wiki\n\n- **OSARA** is a Reaper extension that lets screen reader users control Reaper almost entirely with keystrokes. It *reports* track info, FX values, automates parameter access, and more. ([osara.reaperaccessibility.com](https://osara.reaperaccessibility.com/?utm_source=openai))  \n- There\u2019s a community wiki called **Reaper Accessibility Wiki** with resources, scripts, and guides designed for blind users. ([reaperaccessibility.com](https://reaperaccessibility.com/index.php/Main_Page?utm_source=openai))  \n\nIf you don\u2019t have OSARA installed, that\u2019s usually the first step. It\u2019s essential for non-visual control.\n\n---\n\n## How to Load & Control Plugins Like Supertone Clear via Keyboard\n\nHere\u2019s how other users do it, especially people who can\u2019t use the mouse:\n\n### 1. Using **Generic UI / Slider-only UIs**\n\n- Reaper includes a mode that replaces the plugin\u2019s graphical interface with a \u201cgeneric\u201d controls-only interface\u2014just sliders, knobs, text labels. No fancy graphics, which means JAWS (or any screen reader) can read them. ([reddit.com](https://www.reddit.com/r/Reaper/comments/18qpk14?utm_source=openai))  \n- You can turn this on globally in preferences under *Plug-ins \u2192 VST* (\u201cDefault VST to generic UI\u201d setting). Or toggle it for a specific FX window with the \u201cUI\u201d button in the FX window. ([reddit.com](https://www.reddit.com/r/Reaper/comments/18qpk14?utm_source=openai))  \n\n### 2. Accessing FX Parameters with OSARA\n\n- With OSARA, you can bring up a list of all automatable plugin parameters\u2014even if the GUI isn't usable. You can then use the keyboard to select which parameter to adjust. ([osara.reaperaccessibility.com](https://osara.reaperaccessibility.com/?utm_source=openai))  \n- For example:  \n  \u2022 Press `P` when a track item or FX is focused to see its FX parameters.  \n  \u2022 Use arrow keys to move through them, Enter to choose, then up/down arrows or other keystrokes to change the value.  \n\n### 3. Navigating Without a Mouse\n\nHere are useful keyboard actions (many enabled or improved by OSARA):\n\n| Action | Keyboard Shortcut / How to Do It |\n|---|-------------------------------------|\n| Open context menu (track, item, FX, etc.) | `Applications key` or `Shift`+`F10` on Windows. On Mac: depends on VoiceOver setup. ([osara.reaperaccessibility.com](https://osara.reaperaccessibility.com/?utm_source=openai)) |\n| Close windows / dialogs | `Escape` key usually works. ([reaperaccessibility.com](https://reaperaccessibility.com/wiki/The_oreo_monster%27s_reaperaccess.com_site?utm_source=openai)) |\n| Move between tracks or items | Arrow keys (Up / Down / Left / Right) depending on focus. ([osara.reaperaccessibility.com](https://osara.reaperaccessibility.com/?utm_source=openai)) |\n| Select non-consecutive tracks/items | `Shift` + arrow keys (OSARA supports noncontiguous selection) ([osara.reaperaccessibility.com](https://osara.reaperaccessibility.com/?utm_source=openai)) |\n\n---\n\n## Using This Setup With Supertone Clear\n\nHere\u2019s how you can use Supertone Clear without needing to click:\n\n1. Open Reaper and focus the track you want (keyboard navigation + OSARA).\n2. Insert Supertone Clear via the FX browser using keyboard navigation:\n   - Use `FX` on selected track (enter FX browser).\n   - Type in, or navigate to, Supertone Clear.\n   - Use `Enter` or similar to insert it.\n3. Once Supertone Clear is loaded, open its parameters via the FX parameters list (`P` with OSARA):\n   - See all parameters like Voice, Ambience, Voice Reverb.\n   - Use arrow keys and `Enter` to adjust.\n4. If GUI is visual but not accessible, enable **Generic UI** for it (toggle the \u201cUI\u201d button in FX window, or set default in preferences).\n5. Save your preset (via the FX preset list) using keyboard shortcuts:\n   - Preset selection \u2192 navigate with arrows \u2192 `Enter` for load/apply.\n   - For saving presets, use \u201cSave preset\u201d action (keyboard accessible when preset list is focused).\n\n---\n\n## Possible Gaps & Workarounds\n\n- Some plugins (including Supertone Clear) might not expose **every control** in a way the screen reader can detect. If a knob is **not automatable**, sometimes it\u2019s not exposed. You might see missing labels or inability to adjust certain things.  \n- For these, you might:\n  - Check if an external script (AutoHotkey, or community-made ones from *Access4Music*) helps. ([reaperaccessibility.com](https://reaperaccessibility.com/wiki/Useful_Links_and_Resources?utm_source=openai))  \n  - Use mobile browser or email from support asking if Supertone Clear can ensure *all* knobs are automatable.  \n\n---\n\nIf you tell me *which platform* you're using (Windows or Mac) and *screen reader* you have active (JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, etc.), I can walk you through keystrokes exactly for that setup. Do you want me to do that?"

        "content": "Here\u2019s how to load *Supertone Clear* in Reaper and use it using just the keyboard and **JAWS**, assuming you also have **OSARA** installed (strongly recommended). The instructions are for **Windows** with Reaper + OSARA + JAWS. If using Mac, some keys differ but ideas are similar.\n\n---\n\n## Before You Start\n\nMake sure:\n\n- Reaper version is **6.44 or newer**. OSARA requires this. ([osara.reaperaccessibility.com](https://osara.reaperaccessibility.com/?utm_source=openai))  \n- You\u2019ve **installed OSARA** and enabled the OSARA key map in Reaper. ([reaperaccessibility.com](https://www.reaperaccessibility.com/wiki/Getting_Started/en?utm_source=openai))  \n- Supertone Clear is properly installed so it appears in Reaper\u2019s FX list (usually VST/VST3 folder).  \n\n---\n\n## Keyboard Workflow to Load Supertone Clear and Adjust It\n\nHere are the step-by-step keystrokes:\n\n### 1. Select the Track\n\n- Use **Up Arrow / Down Arrow** to move focus between tracks in the main arrange window. OSARA will report the track name when you move. ([osara.reaperaccessibility.com](https://osara.reaperaccessibility.com/?utm_source=openai))  \n- When you hear the correct track (your vocal track), make sure it\u2019s selected/highlighted.\n\n### 2. Open FX Browser\n\n- Press **`Shift + F`** to open the FX Browser on the selected track. This opens the window where you can insert plugins. ([reaper.fm](https://reaper.fm/userguide/ReaperUserGuide669d.pdf?utm_source=openai))  \n\n### 3. Find Supertone Clear\n\n- Once the FX Browser is open, you can start typing \u201cSupertone Clear\u201d to filter plugins by name.  \n- If Supertone is listed, use **Down Arrow / Up Arrow** to navigate through the filtered list.  \n\n### 4. Insert the Plugin\n\n- With Supertone Clear highlighted in the FX Browser, press **Enter** to insert it into the track FX chain.  \n\n### 5. Use Generic UI if Needed\n\n- If the native GUI is not accessible, toggle the *Generic UI*. There's a setting in preferences to force default VSTs to open with Generic UI, or you can toggle it per FX window by using the \u201cUI\u201d button. \n- Use **Tab** / **Shift + Tab** to move focus inside the FX window. If Generic UI is active, sliders/knobs will be keyboard accessible. OSARA helps with this. ([reaperaccessibility.com](https://reaperaccessibility.com/wiki/Using_Reaper_Under_MacOs?utm_source=openai))  \n\n### 6. Open and Adjust Parameters Via OSARA\n\n- With the FX window active, press **F6** to move focus into the plugin window (if focus was outside). OSARA provides this binding. ([forum.juce.com](https://forum.juce.com/t/accessibility-functionality-not-working-in-repear/51066?utm_source=openai))  \n- Once inside, use **Tab / Shift + Tab** to cycle through controls (sliders, knobs, buttons).\n- Use **Arrow Keys** (Up/Down) or **Page Up / Page Down** to change values for knobs/sliders.  \n- Press **Home / End** to jump to min / max values on some parameters.  \n\n### 7. Save Preset (Optional)\n\n- In the FX window, there is often a preset combo box. Focus on that (Tab until you hear \"preset\").  \n- Use **Alt + Down Arrow** (OSARA specific) to open the preset list dialog without activating the selection immediately. Then arrow keys to select, **Enter** to apply. ([osara.reaperaccessibility.com](https://osara.reaperaccessibility.com/?utm_source=openai))  \n\n### 8. Close FX Window\n\n- Press **Escape** to close the FX Browser or FX Window when done. Often works universally.  \n\n---\n\n## Helpful OSARA Key Bindings You\u2019ll Use\n\n- `Applications key` or `Shift + F10` \u2192 open context menu for focused track/item. ([github.com](https://github.com/jcsteh/osara/blob/master/readme.md?utm_source=openai))  \n- `F` with track selected \u2192 open Track FX chain window. Sometimes `Shift + E` opens FX for item/take. ([dlz.reaper.fm](https://dlz.reaper.fm/userguide/ReaperUserGuide729d.pdf?utm_source=openai))  \n- `Shift + F6` \u2192 toggle delta solo for last focused FX. Not directly relevant but good for FX chain navigation. ([github.com](https://github.com/jcsteh/osara/blob/master/readme.md?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\nIf you like, I can map out exactly what it sounds like when you press each key (what JAWS says), so you\u2019ll know exactly what to expect and when you're in the right place. Do you want that?"
