professional results for your mixes instantly.
•
Output Gain to adjust overall levels.
•
New mouse wheel control (place the cursor above any knob and use the
mouse wheel…)
bx2:
•
4 more EQ bands (in the Shifter EQs), a dynamic EQ/De-Esser & more.
•
Image Shifters for your bass frequencies and high frequencies. Tune your
lo-end and hi-end of your mix for a „bigger“ overall sound with „more air“ at the
same time and control potential harsh frequencies in your mixes.
•
De-Esser/dynamic EQs. Solo buttons let you listen to what you cut away
separated from the mix.
•
Mono-Maker: Adjust the MonoMaker from 20 Hz to 22 kHz and your stereo
mix will be Mono up to that frequency by cutting away the low-end of the
stereo-difference of your stereo-mix - and adjusting the potential loss of bass
frequencies in the Mono-Sum automatically! Ever had problems to cut your
electronic music mixes with synthesizer basses to vinyl? Do you want to make
sure your bass sounds are tight on disco speakers that might be spread all
over the place? Try the Mono-Maker.
•
the bx2 works in M/S - modes just like the bx1, so you can give your mixes
that extra lo-end on guitars and synths that the pros have without getting
rumbling on your bass drums, basses, etc., or de-ess your voice very tight
without making your whole mix dull, etc.
EQ-Panel:
•
shows up to 11 bands of EQ for M and S separately (for all bx1 and bx2 EQ
bands)
6. How do I get started with bx_digital V2
in a typical mastering or recording-session?
Mastering music is all about hearing objectively and enhancing musical perfor-
mances if possible… but it is (often enough) about correcting mistakes that have
been made in a mix session. This sounds basic, but we mean it very literally!
We assume that most if not all people who have purchased bx_digital V2 are
familiar with using a standard L/R-EQ, so we will skip the total basics of “how to
use an eq” and go on with less common-known EQ-techniques…
In fact if you have a more or less “perfect” stereo-signal to work on (e.g. a very good
mix) it might be a good idea not to change it at all or at least not very much, so you
might be ok with using the “regular” L/R-mode of the bx_digital and use the EQs
rather carefully.
But, let´s assume we have an average stereo-signal (e.g. a mix) with some
problems that we want to correct. – It´s just… how can you correct problems you
can´t even hear exactly?
That´s over now… in the M/S-mastering-mode bx_digital V2 can transform your
stereo mix into 2 easy-to-adjust mono sums (M & S, or “Sum & Difference”), and
the bx1 lets you hear both sections perfectly in-phase. This way you can hear any
problem of your mix very obviously and also make any improvements to your mix
simple but precisely.
We propose you start working with bx_digital V2 in M/S-Mastering mode (that´s
the default setting) by simply listening to some of the mixes that you know very well
or to some of your favorite CD-tracks.
While you do so press the solo - buttons of the M and S - sections alternately to get
used to how your mixes sound separated into these 2 mono sums. You will very
fast be able to hear stuff inside your music that you might want to correct / adjust,
so why don´t you just do it?
