Brainworx-Plugin Alliance bx_XL V3 v3.0.0

The bx_XL V3 empowers mastering engineers to achieve loud mixes without sacrificing clarity. Utilizing the mid/side technology from Brainworx’s groundbreaking bx_digital EQ, you can split the mid channel into two bands (low and high). This allows for control over three individual channels – mid-low, mid-high, and side – resulting in increased loudness and significantly enhanced clarity with fewer artifacts and greater punch.

Hear the power of four limiters
The Crossover Frequency slider lets you define where the mid-low band ends and the mid-high band begins. This allows you to separate the kick drum and apply different limiting from the rest of your mid signal – an essential technique for mixes that need a strong bottom end, such as dance, rap, techno, and rock. After the three channels in the bx_XL V3 are combined back into a stereo signal, the mix is run through a true peak limiter. This means four stages of limiting, resulting in loud and crystal-clear stereo mixes.

Warm up mixes with XL saturation
The XL knobs add warmth to your mixes by introducing third and fifth-order harmonics. A special filtering process prevents aliasing, ensuring your mixes remain free of artifacts. This additional harmonic content enhances perceived loudness without significantly increasing your music’s output level.

Listen to the finest details
Building on the legacy of the bx_XL V2 – the first mid/side mastering limiter to allow individual auditioning of mid/side signals with phase correction using Phase-X crossover filters – V3 includes a three-band “psychoacoustic” loudness maximizer and a variety of detailed mastering meters, making it a top-tier dynamics and loudness control system.
