The THR knob controls the threshold, which again, like the threshold control of the gate section, controls the level at which the compressor begins to attenuate the audio passing through. The gain controls the makeup gain for compensating for lost levels when using the compressor or limiter. The L/C Button enables or disables the limiter /compressor section. While the compressor on bx_console has these characteristics, I find it has a definite punch to it, and is also a bit less forgiving than other hardware and plugin Neve and Neve style compressors I have used. Most Neve compressors are known for their transparency and how they can smoothly reduce the dynamic range without getting overly pumpy or adding any other artifacts. Let’s start with a little intro to Neve compressors. Yes, this is quite the comprehensive explanation, and I do so because the gating section is complex but very useful if you know hot operate it properly.

The RGE control simply determines how much you want the gate to take down in level.įinally, the REL knob controls how long the gate maintains its attenuation of the audio signal. The Threshold control under that controls the audio level that the gain closes and reduces the level of the audio. So if the ratio is set to 20:1 and 2db cross the threshold the amount will be lowered by 40db… 20db per each db crossing the threshold…Ī gate is a static gain control while an expander is a variable gain control.” The expander reacts to the signal by its ratio amount lowering the signal by the ratio value once crossing the threshold. So if the range is set to 20db and 2db cross the threshold the amount will be lowered by 20db. Turning the knob fully counterclockwise switches to the expander mode.”įurther on this control by the Brainworx team: “The difference between gate and expander: the gate reacts to the signal by its predetermined range amount lowering the signal by the range value once crossing the threshold. This can be a useful way to avoid gate stuttering.
BRAINWORX BX METER GEARSLUTZ MANUAL
The HYST control (taken directly from the manual with an extension on the subject by the devoted team at Brainworx): “continuous, 0 db to +25 dB Sets a dedicated opening threshold for by setting its distance, relative to the closing threshold. There are many situations where this would be useful, for instance a pumping sidechain or even a swell effect when it cuts off the initial input transient the attack of the sound. It switches between a normal gate that cuts off at a certain point and with the INV button pressed it outputs the content that would be cut in the normal mode. Under that, we have the INV control which also is a gate control feature. This Feature is very useful when mixing kick drums and sub bass. Starting on the top left, we have the “Key” control which controls whether the gate is triggered by the sidechain, or the audio input signal. While this felt like somewhat of a problem at first, I quickly found how useful this actual precision was. In the demo mixes I made for this review (scroll down the page) I ended up low passing all the guitars at 9 khz instead of 7.5 to 8 khz as I usually do with SSL type HP and LP filters (high pass and low pass filters, respectively). I found that they are more prominent (steeper slopes of the filter curve) than the softer slope of SSL (Solid State Logic) channel strip filters.

The green lined knobs are the low pass and high pass filter controls, and include a division by three and multiplication by three controls for the low and high pass filter, respectively.

The strips on the Neve VXS boast a full compression and limiter section, a very natural gate, and a 4 band equalizer with fully parametric mid-range bands.įrom left to right, let’s start at the top left.

Neve consoles have a signature fat low end, a crystal clear and open high end, and when a mix is brought together it has that signature huge in your face Neve sound.
BRAINWORX BX METER GEARSLUTZ PSP
PSP TripleMeter $20 (just released) PSP TripleMeter offers three different meters - VU meters, RMS meters, and PPM meters - with discrete features such as calibration and shared features such as trim faders, filters and a label strip.The Neve VXS was an analogue mixing console that somewhat bridges the gap between classic vintage Neve desks and modern Neve desks. Looking forward to thoughts on what they use (or would like to use) and whyĪvailable as PLUGINS (not stand-alone only software) I pulled together a list here to start the discussion.
