Now you can experience the three-dimensional analog sound of a high-end, large-format console right in your DAW. Of course, there will also be plenty of mods available, making the bx_console G a classic-contemporary hybrid mixer updated with modern controls.
The features will include the following:

- “Orange” and “Pink” EQ revisions can be swapped independently per channel with the click of a mouse
- EQ can be placed before or after the Dynamics section (Compressor/Limiter and Expander/Gate) in the audio path, or routed to the Dynamics’ sidechain

- Continuously variable THD control adds colorful saturation independently per channel
