Hi Richard,

The same is valid for the clarinet. The clarinet player I work with
designs his processing sets with the assumption that the original
clarinet sound will always be there. In other words, his processing is
only an addition to the original sound.

I was recommended the vactrol filter by the list members for the clarinet.

Best,

Korhan
