  • Great value

    ★★★★☆
    by B. van kaa
    Good sounding limiter, great functionality. The M/S limiter and saturation workflow can be really useful. I suspect it's a bit prone to aliasing.

  • Great Flexible Limiter

    ★★★★★
    by RobertRyda.com
    This is one of the best limiters I've come across so far. I love the flexibility and the M/S modes. However it isn't easy to understand how to operate the sidechain mode correctly. I suggest reading the manual over and over again and to try right away. I love the fact that I can limit several times and manipulate the side signal limiting as well. Great product!

    Thanks! Yes, this is a rather PRO approach at limiting, so not the easiest plugin to dial in. Once you have used it a few times though you will be able to control your dynamics like with no other limiter really. Enjoy and thanks for the feedback!

  • Just wonderfully subtle

    That's all I can say, really. You can smash the crap out of your mixes with it too, if that's your thing though.

  • Don’t look past this gem

    I like the layout a lot! It took one mix for me to get the handle on it and once I did the results are great! I had one song that every time I tried to master it it never sounded right to me until this beast came along. The sound quality is pristine if you need it, but also has some great saturation when you need it as well. I love being able to work and blend the sides with the middle giving the mix more thickness when needed. Glad that I added it!

  • Woah!

    I thought my self masters were pretty good but, here was the XL-V2 on sale, plus I had a voucher. No way to pass it up. Slapped it on the end of my chain and immediately the sound began to open. Then I read the manual and dug in a bit more. 20 min later I’ve got the sides saturated a bit and pumping to the (4x4 house) bottom. Widen a wee bit. Then I hit bypass and what used to be a great job on my master turned to “meh”. Turned the plunging back on and OMG! This thing is gorgeous. Buy it people.

  • A problem solver with superb results

    ★★★★★
    by Zak Rahman
    This plugin solved many problems for me and helped me get fantastic results in my weaker areas. Mastering in particular is a mysterious and dark art for producers like me who do everything by themselves from start to finish.
    This plugin, together with the accompanying educational/promotional materials has made a palpable difference in the quality of my production.
    The plugin is geared for really pushing the limits and making things loud. However, I have found that I also get great results from pushing the plugin less hard for genres where a greater dynamics range is appreciated.
    With this plugin, I feel the brainworx team has not just shared their experience, but somehow turned that experience into a functional tool.
    Demo the plugin and see if it's right for you.

    The manual said to listen to professional recordings to get an understanding what to listen for. I did and I decided to tweak it, afterwards I flipped back and it was subtle but something was missing. The original sounded like I was listening to a recording. When I activated the bx_XL V2 it sounded like I was there because of the amount of detail.
