Brainworx bx_XL V2

M/S Mastering Limiter with a low Latency
Brainworx developed the bx_XL V2 to provide mastering engineers with the ability to deliver the loud mixes record labels demand without squashing the life out of the mix. bx_XL V2 uses M/S technology taken from their “modern classic” bx_digital V2 to convert stereo signals into M (mid / sum) and S (side / difference) signals. By splitting the M channel into 2 bands (high & low), you can limit and level control 3 individual channels (side, mid high, & mid low) to increase loudness while drastically improving the clarity of your stereo mixes— with far fewer distortion artifacts and much more punch than conventional two-channel limiters.

The bx_XL V2 is designed to be the final plugin on the stereo master buss, making it the ideal companion to Brainworx’s bx_limiter plugin, which is designed for sub-groups and stems. However, you may find situations where the bx_XL V2, with its multiple limiting stages and other advanced features, is the right choice for stems and busses.
