Rostam Batmanglij's Software Plugins and VSTs

There was an earlier version of the song that was just relentless, with the drums at full blast the whole time. For the middle section, I decided to try to take the kick track and run it through the SPL Transient Designer and maximize the decay.

One of the last things that we recorded on the album was a guitar outro that I wrote and played for “Don’t Lie.” We just plugged a Les Paul guitar into the DI of the Apollo. I got really used to using a combination of Avid SansAmp and the ATR-102 Mastering Tape Recorder Plug-in — just those two with some AltiVerb Reverb. That gave us a scrappy sound that I’m very fond of.

On the song “Don’t Lie,” I put the Fairchild 670 Compressor Plug-In on all the vocals, and on “Obvious Bicycle,” we had the Fairchild on lead vocals. I don’t know how else to describe it, but it just makes them sound buttery.

Above all, in mixing and mastering, Batmanglij was concerned with warmth of sound, calling for the use of a Sonnox Oxford SuprEsser plug-in for monitoring and controlling harsh frequencies.

In the video "Recording vocals with Clairo | Sneak Peek" by Mix with the Masters, Rostam Batmanglij and Clairo analyze the vocal recording for Clairo’s music, where the Waves CLA-76 Compressor / Limiter plugin is used in one of the stems.
