Perfect for audio professionals and enthusiasts alike, this plugin is your go-to tool for crafting clear, balanced mixes.

The bx_control V2 is more than just a stereo width plugin. Its Mono Maker tool allows you to effortlessly manage the low end of your tracks by converting stereo signals below a set frequency to mono, maintaining power without sacrificing clarity.

With its high-resolution metering for both Peak and RMS levels, you'll have a comprehensive view of your audio dynamics in AES 17 and square wave formats. The bx_control V2 also introduces innovative solo modes, enabling you to monitor M (mono sum), phase-corrected S (stereo difference signal), and L/R channels with ease. The plugin's latency-free M/S matrix makes it an ideal choice for both mixing and recording scenarios, ensuring that you can capture and manipulate sound with precision.

Streamline your workflow with the intuitive interface that features a "Mouse Over" function for quick parameter adjustments and direct access via text input.
