Unleash the full potential of your mixes with the Brainworx bx_XL V3, a mid/side limiter that promises loud, crystal-clear masters without compromising on clarity. Designed for mastering engineers seeking precision and power, this plugin employs Brainworx's signature mid/side technology, allowing you to split the mid channel into two distinct bands—mid-low and mid-high. This innovative approach provides control over three individual channels, delivering enhanced loudness and clarity with fewer artifacts and more punch.

The bx_XL V3 takes limiting to new heights with its four-stage limiter design. Define your crossover frequency to isolate the kick drum and apply tailored limiting, perfect for genres like dance, rap, techno, and rock that demand a robust low end. Once the channels are recombined into a stereo mix, a true peak limiter ensures your sound is both loud and pristine.

Add warmth to your tracks with the XL saturation knobs, infusing your mixes with third and fifth-order harmonics while a unique filtering process keeps them artifact-free. This enhancement in perceived loudness does not increase the actual output level, preserving the integrity of your music.

Continuing the legacy of its predecessor, the bx_XL V3 incorporates advanced features like a three-band psychoacoustic loudness maximizer and detailed mastering meters, making it an essential tool for top-tier dynamics and loudness control.
