bx_XL

bx_XL is a plugin that can help advanced computer users such as sound engineers or music producers to boost the volume of their mixes while attempting to preserve the quality and clarity of the sound (no distortion).

It is very useful since mastering a mix often means raising the volume to meet the record labels' standards, but usually doing so without any specialized help greatly alters the product's clarity.

The plugin provides users with a CrossOver Frequency slider that helps them determine the highest frequency that is affected by the mid low section. In other words, users can efficiently separate the kick drum in order to provide it with a different limit from the rest of the mid signal.

The three channels of the bx_XL are being mixed back into a stereo signal, where they meet an additional limiter: a brick wall peak, which enables users to adjust the master out level.

This plugin also provides users with a three-band "psycho-acoustic" loudness maximizer that let users control loudness and dynamics in an even more intuitive manner.

Note that installing the application can be done by using the dedicated installer, which requires users to register an account.
