Dangerous BAX EQ Collection
-
Sweeten your mixes with one of
the smoothest EQs around.
The Dangerous BAX EQ Plug-In Collection is a powerful tool for shaping and enhancing the tonality and character of your music. Designed as a “finishing EQ,” the BAX EQ Collection is an authentic plug-in emulation of this studio staple for UAD-2 hardware and Apollo interfaces.
Now You Can:
Apply sweet, musical EQ tweaks based on Peter Baxandall's legendary 1950s EQ circuitry
Rid your mix of unwanted subsonic frequencies, cleaning up the low-end and increasing your headroom
Tame high-end harshness while simultaneously opening up your mixes with air and transparency
Enhance stereo imagery and depth with Mid/Side function on stereo “Master” version
“The Dangerous BAX EQ is my new favorite box to put across my whole mix. It lets me achieve that modern pop brightness without any of the usual sibilance or harshness. The super low-end is fat without being muddy.”
– Fab Dupont (Shakira, Santigold, Jennifer Lopez)
“As an avid user of the hardware, I was stoked to see the UAD BAX EQ Collection. After using the BAX EQ Master plug-in with the M/S option, I have only one word — awesome.”
– John Paterno (Robbie Williams, Badly Drawn Boy, Bonnie Raitt)Customer Reviews

Indispensable m/s EQ
The "Master" version of this plugin, in m/s mode, has become a staple in my mixes when I want to enhance stereo presence.

If you want Subtle Transparent Mastering EQ

Apparently not everyone's first choice for mixbus/mastering chain, but became one of mine.
I watched Luca Pretolesi mix Major Lazer on Puremix, and was intrigued by his use of Dangerous hardware, so I decided to try out the plugin version. I now use the BAX on almost every mastering chain. The way it was described to me, Baxandall curves are the kind of eqs that home stereos in the 90s used for the "smile" eq. I guess somewhat similar to the Pultec in that they are both "smile" eqs with gentle, wide bands, the BAX seems to bring out more meat specifically in my kick drums than the Pultec, and also allows me to lift the sides without compromising the center. Don't ask me too much about the science behind why this curve sounds good or how it differs from the Pultec. The HPF is also very nice in that I can eliminate more of the lows on the sides than in the center, which is as it should be from my understanding. I really, really like this plugin.

If you want Subtle Transparent Mastering EQ
I demo’d this alongside the Manley Massive and although both are great for mixing and mastering I felt the BAX is a cleaner, more transparent sounding unit and can be as subtle as you like or as big as you need, the M/S section for mastering makes it more than just an EQ, excellent work from the team at UAD.

GREAT-sounding EQ. Super easy to use and incredibly powerful. For Mastering Buss or individual tracks it is such a musical processor.

"Subtle And Rich"
Great Tool to have in your Library. Title of the review says it.
For the people who have used it before and know what it does , no problem. For someone who's never used one ,"Tutorials and Time" = Great results.
