Setting the MONO MAKER too high can result in an audible loss of stereo
width for certain instruments, i.e. low-end heavy guitars or synthesizer basses.
A setting of up to 80 or 100 Hz should be fine with any kind of music, for
higher settings: use your ears, please. :-)
7.17. & 7.18 EQ-Panels
The EQ panels show
you all the EQ curves
of
bx_digital
V2
separately for the
L/R or for the M/S
sections of your mix.
Unlike a lot of other
EQ plug-ins we have
not included any possibility to change your EQ settings via the graphic panel, and
we did that on purpose.
There are simply too many EQ-bands (if you keep in mind that the BASS SHIFT and
PRESENCE SHIFT are displayed additionally to the 7 „regular“ EQ bands of each
section.
Otherwise we feel that mastering and recording music (the main applications for
bx_digital) is all about making cautious changes to your mix (unless the mix you
work on was completely screwed up…), and when we tested bx_digital and EQ-ing
in the panels often led us to making pretty big changes very quickly.
In the end we also wanted to give you the “feel“ of the hardware as authentically as
possible, so we decided to make the EQ panel only a visual control tool for what you
do with the knobs of the bx_digital – or your mouse:
Mouse Wheel - Control:
It is possible to use the mouse wheel to control all knobs of the EQ! Just place the
cursor above any knob and turn the mouse wheel up or down… no clicking needed
ever…
This is also a very cool alternative when working with Auto Listen Modes. In case
you want to make some changes using the Auto Listen Mode and some without
just use the mouse wheel for the latter – and the Auto Listen Mode will not be
engaged.
t
Type in exact values:
Please notice that it is also very easy to type in exact values to any parameter of
the bx_digital by simply clicking on the text fields below each knob. This makes
it particularly comfortable to tune your EQ-bands to certain frequencies.
7.19. LEDs/multiple levels (L/R & M/S)
We have included dedicated LEDs for the Input Section
(L&R), the M&S Section and the Output stage (L&R again),
so you have total optical control over what you hear and
what you do. Like with every other digital audio tool you
should not push your levels into the red!
t
Even in L/R-mode the LEDs will show the M/S-signal, just for control purposes.
t
In M/S-Recording-mode the first LED-segment will show M/S instead of L/R.
This segment shows the input stage of the bx_digital since you are expected to
input 2 individual signals (M&S instead of L/R) to the bx_digital in this mode.
