1. What is bx_digital V2?
tasty way of eq-ing and de-essing stereo signals (mixes), most
likely in a mastering process, or if you are into mixing and sound-
design as well as recording with M/S-microphone-technique.
bx_digital V2 now offers additional features that neither the
original bx1 analog EQ nor the v1 plug-in offered.

2. What is M/S technology?
Most engineers who are recording music know about the M/S
microphone technique (two different microphones for stereo
recordings - an OMNI or CARDIOID microphone for the M (mid)
signal and a “FIGURE-OF-8 microphone” for the S (side) signal).
Recording a signal with M/S microphone technique means to
create a stereo (L/R) signal by mixing the M and the S signals
together in a special way that will result in a very mono-compatible
stereo signal. To record in M/S you have to feed the M-signal to
the Left and Right channel of your mix and the S-Signal will be
fed phase-correct to the Left channel and phase-reversed to the
Right channel. This means you will have to split the S-signal and
use a total of 3 channels for only 2 microphones that will be mixed
together to create a conventional stereo-signal. Quite confusing?
Well, bx_digital V2 does all that work for you, just feed it with the
separate M- and S- microphone signals and switch it to M/S
Recording…
For additional details about this technique you may have a look
into any decent audio book. Please do so if you want to learn more
about this method to create very mono-compatible stereo-signals,
e.g. when recording classical music, drums, choirs or acoustic
instruments in general.
