In this free video tutorial, brought to you with the support of Plugin Alliance, Pro Tools Expert team member Julian Rodgers Investigates the differences between the new Brainworx bxconsole SSL 4000G and the old bxconsole G. He then investigates the THD All control. Plug-in developers Brainworx have released bxconsole E — a new 72-channel emulation of the SSL E Series console, complete with compressor/limiter, expander/gate, four-band parametric EQ, and wide-ranging high- and low-pass filters. The new plug-in pairs these features with the same flexible signal routing found on the original console.
Channel strip plug-in emulates E Series SSL with G Series featuresPlug-in developers Brainworx have released bx_console E — a new 72-channel emulation of the SSL E Series console, complete with compressor/limiter, expander/gate, four-band parametric EQ, and wide-ranging high- and low-pass filters. The new plug-in pairs these features with the same flexible signal routing found on the original console.
The plug-in applies the same Tolerance Modelling Technology (TMT) used in their previous bx_console channel strip plug-in to simulate the channel-to-channel variances of the E Series’ electronic components on each and every instance of the plugin. And, Brainworx claim that the plug-in has an extremely low CPU load.
Brainworx’s bx_console has the added advantage of letting you choose — on a per-channel basis — between the original console’s EQ revisions ('black' or 'brown') or to substitute the compressor’s VCA (Voltage Controlled Amplifier) with that from the later-released British G Series console.
Brainworx have added a wealth of modern functions to the E Series’ vintage circuitry such as: a dry/wet control; an optional secondary release time (REL2) control that prevents the compressor from pumping on delicate acoustic tracks, and an adjustable HPF (High Pass Filter) for the compressor’s sidechain.

There’s also a continuously-variable THD (Total Harmonic Distortion) control that adds saturation; two alternative threshold ranges for the expander and gate; the gate’s HYST (Hysteresis) control which sets a dedicated closed threshold up to 25 dB lower than the open threshold, preventing sustained guitar notes and ringing cymbals from making the gate stutter. A continuously-variable Virtual Gain knob adds simulated analogue noise to any of the channels and EUCON parameter mapping is provided for Avid controllers.
The bx_console E plug-in is available in AAX Native & DSP, AU, VST2, and VST3 formats exclusively from Plugin Alliance. It has an introductory promo price of $179 until August 31, 2017, rising to $299 thereafter.
