Brainworx has radically improved the features, controls, and GUI to make Brainworx bx_boom V3 an essential tool for defining your low end and shaping impactful beats, quickly and easily. 

The mixing engineers new best best friend 

A thumping kick is the backbone of so many genres from EDM, to hip hop, and the world’s most-streamed pop tracks. Yet so few producers achieve it with traditional EQ adjustments. Use the new phase rotation control to easily reach this ‘holy grail’. Perfectly align sub frequencies in multi-layered mixes to make your drums punch through with precision and impact. 

Craft, colorful, powerful beats with ease

Brainworx bx_boom V3 takes control to the next level, with an expanded frequency range of up to 128 Hz, allowing you to shape your beats with pinpoint accuracy. This ensures your kick drums hit hard and fit seamlessly into the broader mix. Add rich analog warmth to your sound with the new drive saturation section, giving your drums extra depth and character. It’s all the tools you need to craft the perfect kick and bass and to help your beats stand out on individual tracks, busses, and the final mix.
