AUTO LISTEN MODE “G”

This AUTO LISTEN MODE finally is pretty easy to explain… as long as you click a 
Gain knob (or grab a touch sensitive controller pot or fader) all other bands of that 
EQ will be bypassed. This way all you hear is the touched EQ band solo-ed, without 
other EQ bands eventually effecting / overlaying your EQ setting.

This may or may not be wanted, so remember: you have the choice to activate or 
deactivate each and every AUTO feature (Q, f or G) or any combination of these 3 
features using the Auto Listen pop up menu. (see -12- above)

The Auto Listen Mode can be switched off using the blue LED.

7.6. EQ-Section R (Right) or S (Stereo/S-signal)

       depending on the selected mode

The  same  7-band  EQ  section  as  for  the  L 
section  (or  respectively  the  M  section, 
depending  on  the  selected  mode),  please 
check “1”.

7.7. Window switch 

You may hide the graphic EQ curves if you want to save some screen space 
(we  know  bx_digital  is  not  a  small  plug-in…),  or  if  you  simply  prefer  EQ-ing 
without seeing the EQ curves. Just click the “arrow” symbol.

7.8. & 7.9. LEDs for the L/R or M/S sections

We have included a digital level control in bx_digital V2 that the hardware does 
not  have.  Red  LEDs  indicate  potentially  distorted  signals  in  the  respective 
signal-path and should be avoided… 

 

7.10. & 7.11. Bass Shift

The  Bass  Shift  is  an  „intelligent“  EQ  band  for  the  bass 
frequencies  of  your  mix.  We  call  it  Bass  Shift  because  2 
different frequencies will be „shifted“ against each other with 
the turn of just one knob.  The frequencies have been pre-set 
and  cannot  be  changed.  If  you  are  looking  for  a  sweepable 
Bass-  (and  Presence-)  Shifter  please  check  out  
bx_hybrid (available individually).

The  Bass  Shift  EQ  can  be  used  to  easily  adjust  the  overall  bass  sound  of  your 
recordings in a professional yet easy & fast way… turning the Bass Shift to the 
right  will  „push“  your  bass  down  one  octave  by  boosting  one  part  of  your  bass 
frequencies  while  at  the  same  time  cutting  other  (higher)  bass  frequencies. 
Turning the BASS SHIFT to the left will cause the opposite…

 

t

Please check the EQ panels (17. & 18.) to actually see what you are doing 
when working with the Bass Shift!

Turning your  BASS SHIFT to the right will result in a more „indirect“ and „deep 
soft“ bass sound, while turning to the left will result in a „dryer“ bass sound.
