JUST ADDED! Brainworx bx_delay 2500

Creative delay with M/S features, modulation, ducking & distortion

The bx_delay 2500 has been developed by Brainworx from the ground up and features a clear, intuitive interface that allows you to get to the delay effect you want quickly. Its glitch-free delays are perfect for automated delay time changes for stunning non-static sounds.

bx_delay 2500 has all you need to create everything from simple delay patches to experimental soundscapes and crazy cool beats. This is your new go-to delay.

By adding an extensive suite of effects to bx_delay 2500 Brainworx have created the perfect environment in which to create wild delay patches. Distortion, chorus and ducking have all been included to sculpt your perfect delay effect.

JUST ADDED! Brainworx bx_boom!

Make your kick drums big

Stripped down to only 2 parameters and an intuitive graphic design, bx_boom allows you to tune, attenuate or boost the impact of your kick drum sound at any point during the audio production workflow—even after the final mix or within a full drum loop.

The bx_boom plugin contains both a mono version perfect for inserting onto a kick drum track, and a stereo version for inserting onto a drum submix buss or full stereo mix of your song.

JUST ADDED! Brainworx bx_saturator V2

Multi-Band M/S Saturation for mixing and mastering

The bx_saturator V2 is an M/S & multi-band saturation tool that’s ideal for mastering, mixing and sound design.

It features Brainworx´s “True Split” crossover technology, which ensures that the Mid and Side channels are always perfectly in phase, resulting in focused, huge-sounding mixes and masters.

From subtle mix glue to insane crunch, the bx_saturator V2 lets you fatten and distort the Mid and Side signals of your mix independently. You can dial in analog warmth and subtle overdrive on individual tracks, or apply it to the stereo bus to thicken an entire mix.

You can also bring out delicate nuances previously lurking in your vocal tracks, acoustic guitar tracks, and even percussion sub-mixes, without increasing their level and without heavy-handed EQ-ing. Louder Mixes, Smarter Saturation

Each of the four XL frequency bands has dedicated gain, drive and XL (mix) controls allowing you to increase the perceived volume of the signals without boosting its actual output level, giving you louder, punchier mixes.

Features

• Add saturation in different amounts and in different frequency bands
• Increase the perceived volume of mixes without clipping
• Mono Maker mixes low frequencies mono, so you can widen the stereo field without phase issues
• Improved audio algorithm in V2

JUST ADDED! Brainworx bx_subsynth

bx_subsynth is the Holy Grail for Bass Fanatics

Integrating a mix of classic and modern processing, this 10-ton beast gives music tracks, cinematic special FX and DJs’ sound systems a bottom end that goes all the way to the Earth’s core!

In developing bx_subsynth, Brainworx initially made a meticulous model of the legendary dbx 120XP Subharmonic Synthesizer’s Waveform Modeling™ engine, which generates discrete bass frequencies one octave below what you feed in to it. They then supersized the 120XP’s feature set to create much tighter, clearer, bigger and resonant bass.

For starters, bx_subsynth generates subharmonics in up to three discrete frequency bands versus the 120XP’s two—the addition of a higher bass band for re-synthesis lets you capture and nosedive the fundamental frequencies of a much wider variety of instruments, including snare drum and acoustic guitar.

The Tight Punch control creates crystal-clear, body-thumping bass by adding a resonant sub-bass peak and filtering out unwanted lows below its cutoff frequency. Powerful Edge processing lets you select from two modes of operation—Smooth and Harsh—that compress and saturate your tracks, alternately delivering super-compact or explosively trashy drums and throbbing, in-your-face bass guitar.

Let’s Be Clear
Bass EQ can’t do what bx_subsynth does. The discrete frequencies bx_subsynth generates leave more space across the bass-frequency band for other instruments, letting you jack up subsynth’s bass without muddying your mix. Plus, EQs can’t boost bass in a thin track that doesn’t have any bottom to begin with. bx_subsynth doesn’t just boost—it adds new bottom! And whereas psychoacoustic bass processors trick your brain into hearing phantom subharmonics that don’t actually exist—and which you can’t feel—bx_subsynth adds real sub-bass that will shake your body like an earthquake!

The applications are limitless. Retune your drum tracks: Dial in higher subharmonics for rack toms and lower ones for the floor tom for colossal, pounding drum fills. Boost different subharmonics on a kick drum and bass guitar to separate their sounds in the mix, for increased clarity and punch. Add subterranean thunder to sustained left-hand octaves on piano tracks. Automatically generate a perfectly synchronized bassline from the bottom strings played on an arpeggiated acoustic guitar track; two knob twists are all it takes to focus the bassline’s image dead-center and massively widen the guitar’s stereo image up to 400%.

Remastering engineers can use bx_subsynth to add a fat bottom end to thin vinyl masters and old recordings made on narrow-gauge multitrack tape recorders. Sound designers can pump up weak cinematic FX with terrifying lows. DJs can turbocharge their sound systems’ low end to woofer-shattering extremes. This is bottom end you can feel in your rattling bones.

bx_subsynth. Feel the bass.

Features

• Models the dbx 120XP Subharmonic Synthesizer’s elemental sound, with dramatically expanded processing capabilities and controls
• Generates thunderous lows to music tracks, cinematic FX and sound systems
• Tight Punch provides resonant high-pass—with adjustable cutoff frequency—for accentuated punch while taming excessive low end
• Low End control adjusts total bass output for perfect balance with mids and highs
• Two types of Edge processing—Smooth and Harsh—can be shaped with Low Cut and High Cut filters and fine-tuned with individual controls
• Mono Maker control sums bass band to mono below user-adjustable corner frequency for laser-like focus

JUST ADDED! Brainworx bx_cleansweep Pro

Clean up your tracks & create exciting sounds

Every major mixing console from brands like SSL, Neve, etc. has dedicated HP & LP Filters per channel. There is a reason for that!

Brainworx founder and CEO, Dirk Ulrich, has always emphasized the importance of accurate High Pass & Low Pass Filtering when treating frequencies in a mix. 

During his long-lived days as a producer and engineer, working with acts and members of acts like Dream Theater, Toto and Michael Jackson, he found that some of the most critical parts of a mix lay within the sub-sonics and super-sonics of a sound. He figured, that by simply filtering out the spectrum above and below the desired core character of a sound, one could be well on their way to an immaculate sounding mix - even before the addition of any further dynamics or EQ treatment.

It was on this principle that Dirk designed the bx_cleansweep V2, a simple yet powerful hybrid High-Pass and Low-Pass Butterworth filter that implements gentle curves (6 dB per octave) in order to achieve a musical and non-intrusive effect when zeroing-in on a sound’s intended character.

Features

• Joint HP/LP filter with in-depth frequency response control
• In addition to Butterworth, five new filter types with additional control options:
•  (Bessel, Chebyshev (Type I & II), Elliptical, and Resonant Butterworth)
• Each filter adjustable up to the 6th order
• New View Modes in graph panel with value callouts at each coordinate: Spectrum analyzer, Magnitude, Phase, Group Delay 
• Joystick/matrix controller manipulates both HP and LP filters on an X/Y plane, creating an intuitive interface for honing in on character

JUST ADDED! Brainworx bx_refinement

Reduce harshness, add sparkling presence 

The Harshness Control allows you to eliminate unpleasant high frequencies from complex signals and during mastering. Based on M/S (Mid/Side) processing, it imparts a tube-like analog smoothness and tames unpleasant digital harshness.

Add Tube-like Tone

bx_refinement is not an emulation of a certain tube sound. Instead, it combines several characteristics found in musical tube equipment to give you an effective tool that is easy to operate. 

Easily Target Problem Areas

With simple controls, bx_refinement allows you to quickly identify and discard offending frequencies.

Dynamic & Groovy

The oscillation option creates nice warming effects. You can adjust the speed of the oscillator and even sync it to the tempo of your song. This way you can emphasize the groove of your mix.

bx_refinement is a processor that will truly stand alone in your sonic toolkit.

Features

• Reduces harshness and breathes life into recordings
• Dynamic or modulation-based damping of unwanted frequencies
• Soft & hard damping provide second order filtering and higher order filtering respectively
• Solo filter allows you to hear just what you’re removing from the recording
• Subtle saturation and presence controls enhance the material without changing its character
• M/S processing on board!
