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.

  The bx_console SSL 9000 J was the missing link going hybrid and in the box. I have it across all my tracks.

  Ken "DURO" Ifill

  6 Grammy Awards (Beastie Boys, Nas, Jay-Z, Alicia Keys)

  After mixing in the box exclusively for 15 years, I couldn’t wait to get my hands on the 9000 J plugin. The SL 9000 J was my console of choice for many years and a major part of my mix sound. It was the perfect balance between a SSL G series console and a Neve VR console. This plugin does just the same, it gives you the SSL punch combined with the Neve warmth. Enjoy the new Brainworx bx_console SSL 9000 J, my new personal go to.

  When I turned on bx_rockergain and strummed the first chord it instantly brought me back to 2015 when I worked with the real amp for 9 hrs straight. If this plugin can take me back to something I’ve felt and heard 5 years ago that can only mean one thing: You guys nailed it!
