bx_solo

bx_solo is a nice little tool that was designed to get users familiarized with the way developers use to approach the M/S technique, whether it is for recording, mastering or mixing purposes.

The features of this plugin are the L, R, M and S. In other words, the left channel (L), right channel (R), mono sum, mid signal (M) and Stereo-difference, Solo signal (S). These enable the end user to listen to each of the components of a stereo mix by singling out each one of them, which might be difficult to achieve from a DAW alone.

It can also come in handy for users who want to perform a check on their mixes, looking for clicks, hiss, noise, errors and other similar issues that may arrise.

The core of M/S tools are the unique solo buttons that enable users to actually listen to all the components of a stereo mix / stereo signal individually.

Bx_solo comes with a stepped M/S Stereo Width Control, allowing users to get an impression about its real functionality when it comes to expanding the stereo width of already-recorded tracks. It can be tried on subgroups, keyboards, FX returns or virtually any stereo track.
