Over a decade ago, Grammy Recording Academy member Gebre Waddell (Public Enemy, George Clinton, Rick Ross) worked with Brainworx to turn his idea to quickly and easily tame harshness into bx_refinement, a powerful and versatile dynamic EQ. It was an instant classic that many use to this day. The new bx_refinement V3 overhauls this essential tool for another decade in the DAW: new code, new features, greater stability, clarity, and control. Now, the simplest solution really is the best.
Take harshness away from problem frequencies
Brainworx has distilled thousands of hours of professional mixing, mastering, and recording knowledge into a simple, satisfying tool. With one turn of the damping control, take all the harshness out of those key problem frequencies. Change the feel of filtering with Soft, Hard, and Wide character options. Once you've brought out the clearer character of your tracks, enhance with trademark Brainworx saturation tubes.
Bring clarity to vocals, instruments, and live recordings
bx_refinement V3 is perfect for cleaning up live recordings, fixing summed-up mic proximity issues, and leakage. With a few tweaks, you can also use it as a de-esser. Perfect for cleaning up recordings, bx_refinement V3 gets the best out of your guitars, vocals, drums, and any other recorded instruments. With its simple controls and 40 presets, covering key recording areas, it's an ideal tool for enthusiasts as well as the pros.
Greater control and creative effects
bx_refinement V3 adds all the controls and modes modern engineers need to get the best out of its talent for taming and smoothing. Use it more precisely with the ability to automate dynamics and LFO modules independently to enhance presence and clarity simultaneously. Use it more creatively with options for rhythmic pumping effects, side-chaining, and random movements.
