bx_digital V3 is an industry-standard Mid/Side (M/S) mastering and mixing equalizer plugin developed by Brainworx and distributed by Plugin Alliance. Building on the legacy of the original hardware bx1 and previous software versions, V3 delivers ultra-transparent, phase-corrected equalization designed for surgical spectral carving and stereo-field widening. It is widely used across mastering, Afrobeats, hip-hop, pop, EDM, rock, and cinematic post-production to clean up low-end mud, control harsh sibilance, unmask center vocals, and enhance side-channel space without destroying mono compatibility.

The plugin features an 11-band parametric filter engine operating in Stereo, Dual-Mono, or M/S modes (with both a full Mastering version and a streamlined Mix version included). Key enhancements in V3 include a built-in Dynamic EQ / De-Esser module (capable of dynamic cuts or boosts per band), API-style Proportional Q response modes, dedicated Notch Filters, an extended High-Frequency band reaching up to 40 kHz for high-resolution air, and updated Bass Shift & Presence Shift tilt modules. Mastering controls include the signature Mono Maker (which sums low frequencies to mono below a selected cutoff frequency from 20 Hz to 22 kHz), Stereo Width expansion, a Gain Scale control for proportional adjustments, and real-time spectrum/correlation metering. bx_digital V3 operates in 64-bit VST2, VST3, AU, AAX Native, and AAX DSP formats for Windows (10/11) and macOS (with native Apple Silicon and Intel support).
