Auf den ersten Blick wirkt bx_console E ja erstmal wie ein gewöhnliches Channel-Strip-Plugin, doch BRAINWORX verfolgt hierbei einen neuen Ansatz, denn statt nur eines einzigen Kanals gibt es hier gleich bis zu 72 davon, die insgesamt die Nachbildung einer kompletten Mischkonsole vom Typ der britischen E-Serie bilden. Die jeweils geladenen Instanzen in den DAW-Inserts interagieren miteinander, so dass jeder der 72 Kanäle subtile klangliche Abweichungen aufweist, ähnlich wie bei einem analogen Mischpult auch.
Features:
- Models the classic British E Series mixing console, offering 72 different channels
- Full-featured channel strip includes a Compressor/Limiter, Expander/Gate, 4-band parametric EQ, and wide-ranging High Pass and Low Pass filters
- Tolerance Modeling Technology (TMT, Patent Pending) simulates channel-to-channel variances of electronic components for the most realistic analog sound
- “Brown” and “Black” EQ revisions can be swapped independently per channel with the click of a mouse
- HF and LF EQ bands can be independently switched to provide either bell-curve or shelving response
- EQ can be placed before or after the Dynamics section (Compressor/Limiter and Expander/Gate), in the audio path, or routed to the Dynamics’ sidechain
- High Pass and Low Pass filters’ frequency ranges can be independently shifted by a factor of three to reach far into the midrange band
- High Pass and Low Pass filters can be placed in the audio path or the Dynamics’ sidechain
- Compressor/Limiter features continuously variable Threshold, Ratio, wet/dry Mix and two-stage Release controls; a dedicated High Pass filter; and a toggle for Auto- and Fast-attack times
- Expander/Gate features continuously variable Threshold, Range and Release controls; two alternate Threshold ranges; and an Auto-/Fast-attack toggle
- Swap E and G Series Compressor VCAs independently per channel with the click of a mouse
- Expander/Gate features continuously variable Threshold, Range and Release controls and an Auto-/Fast-attack toggle
- Gate features continuously variable Hysteresis control that prevents on-off chattering when input signal level fluctuates around the threshold
- Expander Invert function lets you hear just the portion of signal that will be gated or expanded, helping you set the most effective threshold
- Dynamics section can be keyed by an external sidechain input signal
- Continuously variable THD control adds colorful saturation independently per channel
- Continuously variable Virtual Gain control adds simulated analog noise independently per channel
- Comprehensive metering and monitoring facilities incl. M/S solo features
- EUCON parameter mapping provided for Avid controllers, including the S6 control surface
