  • Amazing Tone!

    Whenever a little heft is missing from a sound, this is my new go to. The tone of this processor is killer, and I find the results more pleasing than some of the sound 'waves' from competitors products. Keep up the great work, Plugin Alliance!!!
  • R-Bass who?

    ★★★★★

    My life was easy before I used subsynth. All I had to do was stick Waves R-Bass on any anemic bass guitar, double-bass, or tympanum and I was all set. With bx_subsynth, there were more tweaks an options to learn. But the benefit was that the synthesized sub-bass always fits source material impeccably. The best plugins are the ones that sound like you haven't used a plugin at all. That's what makes sub_synth so awesome - it gets you that room-shaking sub-bass every time while making it sound like a part of the source material.
  • Fantastic mix tool

    Previously I've used the UAD VOG for low end duties, but the bx_subsynth has replaced that plugin for me. Its flexibility allows you to fill out and shape a range of different sounds and can save what might otherwise be a thin-sounding mix.

    This is such a wonderful tool to have to draw on in times of need or creativity. It can save weak sounding basses (DI'd or Mic'd) add beef and braun to a lacklustre mix. So many uses, I love it!
  • More features than you think

    This deceptively powerful processor does more than it says on the tin! While there's several other products that add harmonics above the signal you feed it to make bass more audible on small systems, the bx_subsynth goes the other way and creates thickness and weight below the audio that you feed it.
    When done well, the result melds into the original sound like it belongs there. Only when you activate bypass and all the weight falls away do you realise how much you've added.
    Beyond this there's a saturation circuit that toughens up the sound if you need it, as well as an M/S matrix that lets you blow out the stereo width while simultaneously keeping the low frequencies mono'd if that's what you need.
    There's also a HPF with a resonant bump so you can focus the bottom end you're creating while at the same time, filtering out everything below that which you don't need.
    On the whole, the bx_subsynth brings a whole lot to the table, well beyond the DBX 120A that it partially emulates.

    by the way it generates Sub Harmonics, bx_subsynth is the closest thing to a real DBX120 that I can't think of. The useful M/S processing and the cool EDGE section add even more to all the features .
    Thumbs up to Brainworx for another great plug in

    bx_subsynth:
    I really like this plug. I use it on Kick and bass. I love how i can tighten up the kick using the Filter section. Dial in a little Tight Punch and you can really clean up the low end on a kick. I also was able to add a low oct to a Rhodes part that i purposely left the lower part out. i got a perfect clean low oct. Very cool.
    All in all. Very easy to use and well thought out. Great job
  • Pretty Impressive!

    This is without a doubt the best sub harmonic generator on the market (at least from the ones I've tried (Waves, UAudio...). I would give it a 5 if only there was an option to listen only to the generated signal (for better shaping (lots of in depth possibilities) or even for parallel processing), but sound-wise it's very usable and found its way on many of my mixes already (on kicks, bass, some weak toms and more surprisingly on some vocals as well to add them a feeling of chest they were lacking). As with anything though, be careful, it's a dangerous tool as it's so easy to go overboard with it.

    There are quite a few bass enhancers around, but nothing else has the control, depth, power and features of this plugin. Not just earth shattering bottom end, but versatile saturation and stereo imaging included. The very best of it's breed.

    Amazing Plugin !!
    A great shaping tool to fill your sound with the "missing bit" that makes it just perfect.
    It delivers body and warmth to every source. Fantastic on Synths.
    Love it.
