I think I'm saying the same things in every review I leave on here, but I agree with myself. PA plugins are the bomb. They're stable, they sound great, the company's innovative, customer support is very...supportive. This new version of the Black Box lets you do more than the previous one. The fact that it's mid-side capable opens up a whole new world of possibilities. The TMT feature lets you add a bit more uniqueness to each track you use it on. All in all, I really like the HG-2MS.
THIS IS AWESOME !!

That is what I have been waiting for! HG-2 is a must for mastering chains !! With the new M / S option you have overwhelmingly improved this plugin! Sounds superb, I never want to be without it again. Thank you!

I was early out of bed, to try the plugin, and I wasn't disappointed, the extra's like the side chain features and mid/ side processing are amazing. Had a small project today and used the HG-2MSalmost on all my busses.

Black Box HG-2MS
★★★★★

I have many plugins from different manufacturers. I tested the Black Box Analog Design HG-2MS. I only used the plugin in the master channel. My statements refer to hip hop with a lot of bass, drums, guitar, trumpet and vocals. I used the preset zero as a guide. Then I optimized the settings with the controls and switches. The result is phenomenal. I compared my Black Box Analog Design HG-2 directly and it's true: The Black Box Analog Design HG-2MS offers even more options and gives the sound a fantastic tone colour. So, in my opinion, the upgrade is really worth it. The plugin offers a total of 74 presets. Almost all presets are assigned to specific styles of music and instruments, including vocals. Great sound, great design, the plugin is just fun and really easy to use. That's why I give it 5 stars. Matthias (without instruments)
Character & depth of field

This has become my first plugin in my mastering chain. I always used the HG-2 in mixing, but now with the M/S features I can add those same colors with more width and depth of field when mastering. My clients noticed the subtle difference right away. If you are mixing or mastering in the box, this plugin is a game changer!
