bx_XL V2 The New Loud. - Newer. Louder.
Thank you for using Brainworx plugins!
bx_XL V2 is a M/S stereo mastering limiter. Its main purpose is to help you get your
mixes loud and clear. “As loud” as any major label production, but less squashed and
distorted than many of them.
During the development of the bx_XL V2 we asked ourselves several times why it seems
to be a “must have” in the audio-world today to “limit” most of the mixes to the
extreme. And while you can do so with bx_XL V2 we truly believe that there is a certain
stage at which you should just STOP to squash your mixes more and more to eventually
achieve “huge loudness” or volume... for the sake of clear and enjoyable sound.
From a certain level on we at Brainworx feel that too much loudness is a true limitation
for your music. Limitation in dynamics, in power and strength...
Certain music styles seem to require that squashed sound and “loud first impression”,
but you might achieve a bigger and longer lasting impact with a powerful mix that is
loud... not dead. Please do keep this in mind when cranking up your mixes.
We recommend using the bx_limiter and bx_meter plugins in cooperation with bx_XL V2
during mixdown and mastering. They will help you to catch peaks at various stages of
the mix and to monitor your Peak and RMS levels perfectly.
