About

Since 2006, Brainworx Audio has developed a reputation for creating sonically-advanced plugin tools as well as a multi-platform development framework that is second to none. 

Brainworx highlights include the M/S-standard EQ, bx_digital V3, world-class analog mixing console emulations with patented TMT (Tolerance Modeling Technology, US Patent No. 10,725,727) and modern mastering solutions like bx_masterdesk and the amazing BX Style Creator desktop app.

Founder Dirk Ulrich started Brainworx to develop tools that would solve problems and improve workflows for his own production and mastering projects. The ethos of “built by professionals for professionals” remains a core value of the company.

    Super intuitive interface that lets you dial in every component quickly to get a wide cohesive punchy master. I can see this being excellent for treating stems as well.

    The way bx_clipper drives mixes is so much better than most saturation / clipping plugins I've heard in the past. It's a hell of an addition to any master chain before the final limiting process!

    After using the bx_console AMEK 200 on different types of instruments (bass, drums, vocals, piano and keyboards), I have to say I am pretty surprised and satisfied with the transparency this plugin delivers. It adds character to the signal with subtlety. This plugin can easily become everyone's new favorite go-to console emulation!
