bx_dynEQ & bx_boom!
bx_dynEQ is a mini-bundle in itself, containing of bx_dynEQ mono, bx_dynEQ stereo, bx_dynEQ M/S and bx_boom!
The concept of the bx_dynEQ is a new approach to dynamic EQ-ing, using innovative M/S features to allow for results not possible with other EQs. The stereo version introduces a unique cross-feed M/S feature, which allows M & S signals to trigger each other.
It features an impressive selection of filter types which includes new band-pass filters and Brainworkx's trademark Bass-Shift and Presence Shift filters. Preset knobs enable the engineer to find good starting points fast and easy despite of the complexity of the plug-in.
bx_boom! is actually a dynEQ preset demonstrating the superior M/S features of this EQ. Stripped down to only 2 parameters and an intuitive graphic design this tool enables you to attenuate or boost the impact of your bass drum sound - in a final mix or in a complete stereo drum-loop.
bx_dynEQ & bx_boom! can be used to help in many different situations:
- De-Essing (individual tracks, subgroups and master channel)
- dynamic EQing of mono-, stereo- and M/S signals
- bass-drum tuning in final mixes and drum groups
- dynamic stereo-widening using the internal M/S features
- M/S compression and limiting
- Sound-Design

bx_control V2
bx_control V2 is a control listening tool and an M/S matrix with built-in Mono Maker & stereo width control featuring hi resolution LEDs for Peak and RMS levels in AES 17 and Square formats.
The plug-in allows to chain any stereo plug-in into the Brainworx M/S matrix, control the Stereo Width, or mono out bass-frequencies of stereo signals with Brainworx's unique Mono Maker tool. bx_control V2 also offers Solo listening to M (mono sum), S (stereo difference signal), L (left channel) or R (right channel) phase-corrected and mono-ed on both speakers or "in place" with its 4 dedicated Solo Buttons. Easily swap channels with its L/R flip button.
bx_control also is a perfect M/S Recording Tool. Use it as a latency-free M/S matrix in recording sessions.

bx_hybrid
bx_hybrid is a state-of-the art mono & stereo EQ. It contains several unique tools, such as an internal M/S processor (stereo version only, of course) for stereo width control & a mono maker (a Brainworx invention that will mono out any stereo signal up to a certain user-adjustable threshold frequency with only one knob - while automatically compensating for the potential loss in the overall bass-spectrum).
bx_hybrid was designed to map any & all EQ features of the Digidesign ICON center section EQ knobs. This means 7-band EQ incl. Lo- and Hi-Pass filters with various adjustable filter orders (up to 5th order – 30dB/octave), Lo- and Hi-Shelving EQs, Peak filters, Notch-filters (with adjustable Q). Additionally the joystick EQs – bass- & presence shifter EQs (taken from bx_digital) with shiftable center-frequencies. When used with Digidesign ICON controllers these shifter EQs can be mapped to and controlled by the surround panners of the ICON, making this EQ an 11-band EQ with truly unique ease-of-use. The bass shift is an extremely interesting tool for tweaking bass-drums, just like the presence shift for acoustic guitars. A sophisticated auto solo mode will solo single frequency bands and tweak Q controls - upon mouse-click or when used with the touch sensitive EQ knobs of the ICON.
With internal double precision calculation, these EQs work with double resolution in 44 and 48kHz sessions, avoiding Nyquist frequency problems and allowing for digital EQing up to 26 kHz in low res sessions.
