CLEAN Air

The top end, done three ways — the air, a tube with depth, and a phone-speaker stage that keeps your low end alive on the device your master actually gets heard on.

$29once · for life · up to 5 computers

No subscription, no account. The trial is the full plug-in for 14 days — after that it keeps running in demo mode until you add a key.

CLEAN Air — air, tube and phone-speaker mastering, shown as a studio rack unit.

Mode 1 · AIR

Air, without the hiss

Two knobs do the whole job. Brightness lifts 8 kHz and up through a harmonic exciter, so the top end sparkles instead of turning to hiss. Warmth adds body around 240 Hz with a touch of second harmonic and smooths the 3 kHz edge.

It's the fast, clean move — the one a lot of us miss from a certain discontinued two-knob plug-in.

Mode 2 · TUBE + AIR

A tube with depth

The same air, now pushed through an asymmetric triode stage — Drive, Bias, Tone and Mix — oversampled 2× so the harmonics never alias. Depth opens the air in mid/side for a master that sounds big and wide but still folds down in mono.

This is where a flat mix turns into a record.

Always on · PHONE SPEAKER

It has to survive the phone

Your master is going to be heard on a phone speaker that can't play below 300 Hz. Translate builds bass harmonics so the kick and the 808 still read down there. Phone Check auditions the whole mix through a phone-speaker model, one button.

A −0.3 dB true-peak ceiling keeps the streaming encoders happy on the way out.

The test

You'll miss it when it's gone

Dial it in across the master. Then hit bypass. The air closes up, the top end dulls, the low end thins out on the phone — and you hear exactly what CLEAN Air was doing.

That's the whole pitch. Try it free for 14 days and A/B it on your own mix.

From the makers of DEES TAPE

Built by people shipping records, not spec sheets.

CLEAN Air is the same top-end chain that lives inside DEES TAPE for Mac & PC — pulled out as a standalone master plug-in for every other DAW. It's used on real mixes going to Spotify, Apple Music, TikTok and Reels, and it's tuned for exactly that world: loud, clear, and still right on a phone.

Connecting checkout…

Your CLEAN Air key

Issued to your PayPal email — save this somewhere safe.

Open CLEAN Air in your DAW, click the TRIAL / DEMO button top right, paste, ACTIVATE. The plug-in checks in with deestechholdings.com once, then the license lives on that computer. Same key on up to 5 computers.

Find my key

Bought CLEAN Air before? Get your key back.

Enter the email you paid with on PayPal and the order id or Transaction ID from your PayPal receipt, and we'll show the full key for that purchase.

Email only? We'll show which keys are on file (partly hidden) and when they were issued — the full key needs the order id, so nobody who merely knows your email can take your seats.

How activation works

5 computers per key
  1. Buy, get your key

    Your CAPRO-… key shows up on this page the moment PayPal completes. It's also kept under your PayPal email and order id for “Find my key”.

  2. Paste it in the plug-in and ACTIVATE

    Open CLEAN Air on any track, click the TRIAL or DEMO button in the top right, paste the whole key, click ACTIVATE. It checks in with deestechholdings.com once and stores an activation for that computer — after that it works offline, in every host, in every session.

  3. Up to 5 computers

    Same key on the studio Mac, the laptop, the one at the rehearsal room — up to five at once. A computer you've already activated never uses a second seat.

  4. Moving on? Deactivate to free a seat

    In the plug-in, LICENSED → DEACTIVATE THIS COMPUTER. Old computer gone for good? Email cleanair@deestechholdings.com and we'll free it.

FAQ
What happens after the 14-day trial?

Nothing disappears. CLEAN Air keeps running in demo mode: fully working, with a 3-second dip to bypass every 40 seconds. Paste a key and the dips stop. Your sessions and presets are untouched.

Is this the Fresh Air thing?

It's our own take on that idea — the discontinued two-knob air plug-in a lot of us used — with a tube stage, M/S depth and a phone-speaker section added, because the mixes we make today get heard on phones first.

Do I need to be online?

Only for the moment you activate or deactivate. The plug-in verifies your activation offline every time it loads; audio never touches the network.

Windows?

Yes: a VST3 for Windows 10 and 11 (64-bit). Use the Windows download at the top. The same key works on Mac and Windows.

Does it work inside DEES TAPE?

Yes — CLEAN Air is built into DEES TAPE for Mac & PC's VST BOX. This download is for every other DAW.

I lost my key.

Use Find my key with your PayPal email plus the order id or Transaction ID from the receipt. Still stuck? cleanair@deestechholdings.com — a real person reads every message.

Is it a subscription?

No. $29 once, for life, on up to 5 computers. If the plug-in ever asks you to pay again, it isn't ours.

Big, clear, phone-proof.
