Ahh - the old BBE effect. BBE was great for making crappy 4 track cassette recordings sound a bit brighter and clearer. If you need to use this on your digital recordings, you are doing something wrong. It can easily ruin your sound. It works by simply splitting the signal into 3 bands, and delaying the phase of the middle band. This has the effect of letting the bass and treble hit your ears first. Allegedly this is to compensate for phase skewing in bad electronics - and with crap like cassette tape and bad hifi speaker, there is some truth. But for good equipment, it's simply a phase destroyer. A nice eq is much better. Or - you can get a synth edit version of BBE from http://www.uv.es/~ruizcan/p_vst.htm

NEW

Where do you guys actually live? (And what insider knowledge do you have?

)

That's in fact probably one of the first (and hardware based) plugins arround there. It exists for years now! That screen actually shows version 2 of the plugin (which also isn't new...). The first version was DX plugin only.

btw: BBE is a professional hardware company, delivering several generations of digital hardware maximizers since decades now!

Pro stuff, men.

HAHAHA

The BBE sonic maximizer is really old AND popular (legendary?). It's mentioned all the time here!

How come it's not in the KvR database?

The Chase · Post by **The Chase** » Mon May 30, 2005 10:30 pm

database entires are up to developers and no one from BBE hangs out here

*i think. could be wrong

Maybe,
because: there is actually a world outside KVR too...

Wellcome to the world!

he never said there wasn't. Going by that reason there would be zero database entries.
