Since 2009, the bx_digital V2 EQ plug-in has been an indispensable tool for many of the world's top mixing, mastering, and post-production engineers with its precise, in-depth tone shaping and powerful M/S (mid/side) processing.

Developed by Brainworx, the new bx_digital V3 EQ Collection for UAD-2 hardware and Apollo interfaces offers a dramatic update to the popular V2 EQ plug-in, giving you enhanced flexibility and signal-shaping power.

Expanded Frequency Range

Expanded Frequency Range

The new bx_digital V3 plug-in boasts an extended range of the high frequency EQ, going up to 40 kHz. This gives you the ability to add air and gloss to vocals, overheads, or an entire mix.

Goodbye De-esser, Hello Dynamic EQ

Goodbye De-esser, Hello Dynamic EQ

The V2’s old de-esser section has been transformed on the V3 into a dynamic EQ section, able to boost or cut a specific frequency band depending on the input signal. This gives you added flexibility way beyond traditional de-essing.

Radically Updated Filters

Radically Updated Filters

The V3 EQ’s revamped Bass and Presence shifters now offer three tones of tilt EQ, so you can better dial in the character of your treble and bass frequencies. Also, the new Proportional Q function allows you to easily go from broad stroke EQ moves, to surgical ones.

Industry Standard M/S Processing and More

Industry Standard M/S Processing and More

Great plugins that need native support

I love these plugins and use the stereo correction a lot, but it is about time that these are added to the native library!!

An absolute must-have

I can't imagine not having this on my master chain. It's powerful and transparent with a plethora of sculpting options. Just flat out amazing. This is one of the most useful tools you can have in your toolbox for full mixes and/or masters, and it also comes with a smaller mix version perfect for individual channels. I really cannot recommend this enough.

Game changer!

I’m not gonna lie at first I was hesitant but adding this to my master chain has been such a life saver! I don’t know why I lived with out this!

Being able to control the mids or sides separately without taking away from the mix is clutch.

Curving out a better fit for vocals in a 2track mix is like a piece of cake for this!

Also the ability to dial in on any part of the mix or master is nuts!

It’s absolutely surgical the way this plugin works.

Worth the investment you will not be disappointed .

Give it some time and it will be in your workflow. Takes some getting used to but what doesn’t.

Get it!!

I could’nt resist.

After trying it, I could not forget it. Very clear and open. You can be surgical and the stereo- widener is superb. Takes some time to explore its full potensial, but fun and inspiring to learn to know it. High fidelity!

CRASHES

Plugin crashes still after 4 years of trying to use it.. I have to use Brainworx instead...this one doesn't work at all: crashes or cut the sound. Win 10, Cubase 11.5..everything updated to latest version. Shame on UAD

Made All the Difference...

OK, so, total amateur here. Been trying to make music at home for years. Loving LUNA first of all. Pro tools hates perpetual licenses now so I got kicked off when I updated to Big Sur. Luna is so much better. The summing is awesome (like Neve best). As for this plug in, fixed all my phase issues and cleans up a mix like no other plug I've used. I try to stay away from mastering, couldn't get a mix up until this point. This plug has a lot of goodies for my mix. Really love it. Mono maker...awesome. Ability to listen to the eq moves in solo...so sweet. Loving this and LUNA. I expect to finally release some stuff because of this plugin. Nice UAD!

Mix bus & Master channel

You can use EQ for mix bus (drums, melodies...) or whole master channel. Sounds perfect. It can work as de-esser also. You can make wider stereo field or mono low frequencies. One of the best for cleaning and fixing.

Great M/S decoder and mix buss eq

Got this for it’s ability to decode M/S as the Apollo series lacks that, a feature that is built into many audio interfaces, one to add to the next version of the hardware/software perhaps? This works round that problem, and let’s me quickly make decisions whilst tracking. It also lives on the mix buss of every project, it’s an excellent tool in the arsenal for mastering.

The best EQ for the MixBus

This EQ plugins is amazing por the mix bus. YYou can work on the mono band and the stereo band independently.
