Get Professional Sound with Brainworx’s Flagship Mastering EQ

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 gives you a dramatic update to the popular V2 EQ plug-in for enhanced flexibility and signal-shaping power.

Easily Add "Air"

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.

Sculpt Frequencies with 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.

Shape with 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.

Add Width and Depth with M/S Processing and More

Brainworx’s legendary M/S processing gives you a simple workflow to dramatically tweak the width and depth of your mixes — from subtle enhancement to problem solving. The Mono-Maker control sums your low-frequency content to mono, giving you focused, punchy bass response.

What They Say

The bx_digital V3 update brings significant upgrades to my absolute favorite digital EQ. The high bands are extended to 40 Khz, the new dynamic EQ proves more useful than the de-esser alone, and now there's selectable shapes for the filters!

    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!!

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, you’ll need an Apollo audio interface, UAD-2 Satellite, or UAD-2 PCIe card to run these plug-ins, using the onboard DSP. The plug-ins run on the hardware itself, without adding strain to your computer’s CPU. In an Apollo, onboard DSP processing allows you to run realtime UAD plug-ins with near-zero latency, and even record that processing directly to your DAW.

This refers to the number of SHARC DSP processors in Apollo and UAD-2 hardware. A DUO core system has twice the amount of processing power compared to a SOLO core system. More SHARC DSP cores increases the number of UAD-2 plug-ins you can run on the hardware.

No, Satellites provide DSP to run UAD-2 plug-ins in your DAW.

Yes, you can start a fully functional 14-day demo from any plug-in bundled with the UAD software. Simply click “Start Demo”, and start using it in your DAW.

UAD-2 licenses follow the hardware, it does not matter which computer they are connected to. You can have up to six UAD-2 devices registered to a system in your Universal Audio account, which share those licenses. See UAD-2 Plug-In Licensing Explained for full details. Authorisation of UAD-2 hardware is managed by the UAD Meter & Control Panel Application.
