Brainworx has released bx_XL V3, a mid/side mastering limiter plug-in that promises to deliver ultra-loud masters with big saturation. By utilizing the mid/side technology from Brainworx’s bx_digital EQ, the bx_XL V3 provides mastering engineers with the ability to achieve loud mixes without sacrificing clarity. The mid channel is split into two bands, allowing for control over three individual channels – mid-low, mid-high, and side.

Brainworx claims the Crossover Frequency slider offers the flexibility to separate the kick drum and apply different limiting from the rest of the mid signal, resulting in increased loudness, greater punch, and enhanced clarity with fewer artifacts. After the mid-low, mid-high, and side channels are combined back into a stereo signal, the full mix is run through another true peak limiter. This means four stages of limiting, resulting in loud and crystal-clear stereo mixes.
Four different stages of limiting…
The XL knobs add warmth to your mixes by introducing third and fifth-order harmonics. A special filtering process prevents aliasing, ensuring your mixes remain free of artifacts. This additional harmonic content enhances perceived loudness without significantly increasing your music’s output level.
