bx_XL V3 allows mastering engineers to create loud mixes without sacrificing clarity. Using mid/side technology from the innovative Brainworx bx_digital equalizer, you can split the mid channel into two bands (low and high frequencies). This allows you to control three separate channels – mid-low, mid-high and side, resulting in increased volume and significantly improved audio clarity with fewer artifacts and greater clarity.
The Crossover Frequency slider lets you determine where the mid-low frequency band ends and the mid-high frequency band begins. This allows you to isolate the kick drum and apply different limits to the rest of your mid-range signal – an important technique for mixes that need a strong bottom end, such as dance, rap, techno and rock. After the three channels of the bx_XL V3 are combined back into a stereo signal, the mix is passed through a true peak limiter. This means four stages of limiting, resulting in loud and crystal clear stereo mixes.
The XL controls add warmth to your mixes by adding third and fifth order harmonics. A special filtering process prevents aliasing, ensuring your mixes are free of artifacts. This additional harmonic content increases the perceived loudness without significantly increasing the output level of your music.
Building on the legacy of the bx_XL V2 – the first mid/side mastering limiter to allow individual mid/side signals to be auditioned with phase-corrected Phase-X crossover filters – the V3 includes a three-band “psychoacoustic” loudness maximizer and a host of detailed mastering meters, making it a first-class dynamics and loudness management system.
