4. But what´s so new about V2 then?

Also,  while  there  were  quite  some  M/S  -  tools  released  after 
bx_digital V1 first came out, one original BX feature is the possi-
bility to SOLO your M or S - signal, which means you can listen to 
ONLY the M or S signal of your mix and work on these two signals 
individually – phase corrected automatically.

“Why is this so unusual?” you might ask now. Well, although the S 
signal is included in a regular L/R stereo signal, it is not in phase 
on  both  channels,  so  we  had  to  come  up  with  an  easy  way  to 
correct that each time you want to listen to your S-signal solo…

Start  by  playing  some  stereo  mixes  through  your  bx_digital  V2 
plug-in  and  push  the  solo  button  of  the  S-section…  you  will  be 
amazed of what you will hear… you will be able to correct stuff you 
have never even heard before in your mixes!

Then dig some deeper, try the Auto Solo and Auto Listen Modes, 
the Shifter EQs, etc. You will quickly get the concept this way.

5. Features of the bx_digital V2:

bx1:

• 

7-band  mastering  quality  EQ  with  Shelving,  Bell  and 
Pass-Filters.

• 

“Auto Solo” and “Auto Listen” Modes

Unique and new “SixPack” master section: (6 knobs)

Input  Gain  and  Balance  features  to  adjust  incoming  levels 
and to balance out mixes that are not 100% centered.

• 

Individual PAN for M and S signals (in all modes) to control 
the output balance - with more precision than ever.

• 

Stereo  Width  Control  for  your  mix.  Make  your  mix  wider 
without  an  effects  processor  by  increasing  the  S-Signal  –  
in ALL modes.

• 

Filter  section  includes  new  Lo-Shelving,  Hi-Shelving,  full-
parametric Bell type, Lo-Pass & Hi-Pass filters. All 7 bands 
have  been  adjusted  in  frequency-range  and  type-selection
