Auto Solo:
Auto  Solo  is  taken  from  the  TDM  version  of  bx_digital  V1, 
and is now available for all versions. When enabled bx_digital 
will automatically switch to Solo M/Solo L as soon as a knob 
of the left EQ section is being clicked, until you release the 
knob again. The same goes for the right EQ section (Solo S/
Solo  R,  depending  on  the  mode  bx_digital  works  in).  Auto 
solo  also  works  with  touch  sensitive  controllers,  such  as 
digidesign´s C24 or icon controllers.

• 

Solo M/Solo S (Solo L / Solo R):
To  listen  to  only  the  M  or  S  signal  phase  corrected  and 
mono-ed on both speakers just enable Solo M/Solo S. In the 
L/R mode these selectors become Solo L/Solo R, of course, 
but work just the same way.

• 

L<>R (channel swap, pre EQ):
This feature swaps left and right channels within bx_digital 
V2. As stereo mixes sound very different when channels are 
swapped this can be a creative tool in mastering sessions.

• 

Link LED:
The Link LED will be ON as soon as any feature of bx_digital 
is linked. This can be an EQ band, the De-Esser, or a Shifter.
Also, you can link/unlink all bands and features clicking the 
Link LED.
A click on any Link button will copy the setting of the button 
you click to the other side.
Accidentally clicking the Link button can destroy your whole 
EQ settings – but we have a 32 step undo /redo on board 
now, so this won´t be a problem anymore.
