Features

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 that allow 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

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 into 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.

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

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!

Features

• Joint HP/LP filter with in-depth frequency response control

•  (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

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.

 Audiolens

Compare audio - The lens that listens

The new Audiolens desktop app makes track referencing and comparison easy by analyzing audio from any streaming platform or audio source. Play your chosen audio through the selected output of your device and the application will collect data on key sonic characteristics, helping you to visualize, compare, and match your favorite reference tracks and sounds.

Simply reference from streaming - Straight from the source

Save time by capturing the analysis from Audiolens as a reference track so that you can use it in mixing and mastering without the need for downloading media files or setting up tedious audio routing setups. Integrate seamlessly with iZotope plug-ins Ozone 10 and Neutron 4 where you can match to your references and fine-tune your sound using the AI Assistants.

Use with Ozone - Match any master

Audiolens will automatically populate saved referenced targets to your Ozone Target Library so you can visualize how your master stacks up to your chosen reference. Run the AI-powered Master Assistant to match the tone, dynamics, and width profiles of the desired track to your own master, and dial in additional adjustments using the Assistant View.

Use with Neutron 4 - Intelligent mixing, faster

Audiolens will automatically populate saved reference targets to your Neutron 4 Target Library where they will be analyzed by Neutron’s Assistant. You can then quickly match characteristics within the mix of your own track, whether that’s adding some thump to your bass, crisping up your snare, or making hi-hats sizzle. Further customize your sound by using the Assistant View to dial in your mix elements.

Target Library - Save your faves

Save the tonal data of your references to your Audiolens Target Library to build a personal catalog of reference track data that you can access anytime. Name your tracks so you can quickly find the sounds you want to match and compare tonal balance profiles with ease. The Target Library talks to Ozone 10 and Neutron 4, automatically populating your references to those plug-ins if you have them.
