What is Brainworx.BX.Digital.v1.09.VST?

Brainworx.BX.Digital.v1.09.VST is an 11-band EQ plugin that can operate in dual mono, stereo, or M/S modes. M/S stands for mid/side, which is a technique that allows you to process the center and the sides of a stereo signal separately. This can give you more control over the width, depth, balance, and clarity of your mix or master.

The plugin features fully parametric filters with adjustable gain, frequency, and Q values. It also provides a stereo widener, a mid/side decoder, a mono maker tool, bass and presence shifters, and advanced monitoring and metering options. Additionally, it has a dynamic EQ module that can compress or expand any frequency band, as well as proportional Q filters and notch filters for more surgical EQing.

The benefits of using M/S EQ for mixing and mastering

Using M/S EQ can help you achieve better results in your mixing and mastering projects. By splitting the stereo signal into mid and side components, you can apply different EQ settings to each part without affecting the other. This way, you can enhance or correct specific elements in your mix or master without compromising the overall sound quality.

For example, you can use M/S EQ to:

• Boost or cut the low frequencies in the center to add punch or clarity to your kick drum or bass.

• Boost or cut the high frequencies in the sides to add sparkle or smoothness to your cymbals or vocals.

• Adjust the mid/side balance to create more width or focus in your stereo image.

• Remove unwanted frequencies or resonances from the center or the sides to reduce muddiness or harshness.

• Add subtle coloration or saturation to the center or the sides to create more warmth or excitement.

The remarkable control and flexibility of the plugin

Brainworx.BX.Digital.v1.09.VST is not just a simple M/S EQ plugin. It offers a lot of control and flexibility over your sound shaping process. You can choose from different filter types, such as bell, shelf, high-pass, low-pass, band-pass, notch, tilt, etc. You can also adjust the slope and shape of each filter curve to suit your needs.

The plugin also allows you to switch between different modes, such as dual mono, stereo link, stereo unlinked, M/S linked, M/S unlinked, etc. You can also solo or mute each channel or band individually to isolate or compare your changes. Furthermore, you can copy and paste settings between channels or bands for quick adjustments.

The special filters and tools for clearer and cleaner-sounding mixes and masters

Brainworx.BX.Digital.v1.09.VST also features some special filters and tools that can help you achieve clearer and cleaner-sounding mixes and masters. These include:

• The bass shifter and presence shifter: These are spectrum-balancing tools that produce opposing boosts and cuts in adjacent bands to prevent excess energy buildup that can make your mixes sound boomy, blurry, or edgy. You can use them to enhance your low-end punch while clearing out muddy frequencies, or increase your presence while softening harsh frequencies.

• The mono maker: This is a summing tool that converts any frequency below a set value into mono. You can use it to tighten up your low-end by reducing stereo information that can cause phase issues or cancellation.

• The stereo widener: This is a tool that increases or decreases the width of your stereo image by adjusting the level difference between the mid and side signals. You can use it to create more spaciousness or intimacy in your mix or master.

• The mid/side decoder: This is a tool that converts a regular stereo signal into an M/S signal that you can process with the plugin's EQ bands. You can use it to apply M/S processing to any stereo source that was not recorded with an M/S microphone setup.
