bx_panEQ

About

Brainworx, the leading developer in Mid/Side mixing tools, has once again launched a game changer: bx_panEQ. This next-level spatial equalizer will forever change the way you sculpt and shape stereo tracks.

Imagine EQ'ing a crash cymbal buried in a pre-recorded stereo mix without affecting instruments panned to other positions in the soundstage. Or how about moving a dead-center lead synth to the left or right of the sound stage to make room for more bass? bx_panEQ offers a comprehensive view into the stereo spatialization of your content and provides intuitive visual controls to help mold the stereo field to your liking. It’s a brand new way to approach stereo-spatial processing.

Features

• Three parametric bell-curve filters—each featuring a Gain, Frequency, Q, Pan and Focus control—independently boost or cut EQ at discrete pan positions in the stereo field
• Innovative Focus control precisely regulates the panoramic width of your EQ adjustments
• Proportional Q filter design prevents progressive EQ boosts and cuts from spilling over into adjacent bands
• Color-coded Panoramic Spectral Analyzer plots changes to pan position, frequency and amplitude for stereo content in real time as you make EQ adjustments
• Visual aid of Spectral Analyzer makes mix decisions easy while providing direct control over stereo position and gain of each band
• Each filter can be independently bypassed or soloed; when soloed, the signal difference is auditioned, providing critical monitoring on processing
• Re-sizable interface allows work on larger displays
• Cut and boost at the same frequency on different points of the panorama to re-place instruments within a full mix
• Create dramatic panning filter effects with automation.
• Use bx_panEQ on mono signals to open up frequencies into stereo channels, adding clarity and width
• ‘Stretch’ sounds by progressively boosting low to high, left to right or vise-versa to create a wider–than-life sound on instruments like guitar and keyboard
