What is left is a 72 channel plugin that contains slight tonal differences between each instantiation, but bx_console doesn’t stop there. This very impressive feat comes courtesy of Brainworx’s own “Tolerance Modeling Technology” that captures everything that makes the channel unique, down to the phase differences and unbalanced center frequencies between channels. The difference between this channel strip plugin and others is that instead of modeling just the best sounding channel, Brainworx modeled 72 different channels, each with the slight differences in tone and behavior. This console has been involved heavily in the development of most of Brainworx’s plugins so it’s safe to say Dirk knows the subtleties and character of it. Dirk acquired this VXS a few years ago and instantly fell in love with the sound.

This console is a “best of both worlds” console bridging the gap between the older 80 series Neves and the newer 88RS. This unit has quite a history including living at Skywalker Ranch’s sound stage for orchestra tracking and in Sweden, housed at an ex- Abba member’s personal studio. bx_console is based on the Neve VXS Console that resides in Brainworx’s studio. This sometimes is responsible for “buyer’s remorse” when purchasing a console based on one that was heard at another studio – that and the maintenance cost and electricity bill.ĭirk (founder of Brainworx) has shouldered all of these burdens and has created a channel strip that addresses everything that plugin companies have either overlooked or just didn’t have the patience to address. This is even what attributes to certain consoles sounding better than the exact same model. This entropy in the system is partially responsible for the depth in mixes due to the randomness between channels on a specific mixer.
The same components are used on each channel, but each component behaves slightly different in each channel, thus creating subtle changes between channels. This is due to the tolerances in parts that make up each channel. Sure, companies can model a channel of an SSL or Neve and sound very close, but they miss a very important aspect of what makes these consoles great: “subtle variation”.
I’m going to just come out and say it: for the most part, channel strip plugins have missed the mark.
