XT-BC Bass Character

The XT-BC Bass Character plug-in is a completely new DSP equalizer from Harrison's R&D department.

The XT-BC is designed to musically alter the tonality and character of bass instruments such as electric bass, stand-up bass, and synth bass. You can use the XT-BC to beef up a thin recording, subtly change the tonality of an instrument, or attenuate the fundamental of a bloated bass track that is overshadowing other instruments in the low end of your mix.

The XT-BC has an easy-to-use feature set. The "Body" parameter allows you to select an area of the low end that you would like to boost or cut, while the "Clarity" parameter allows you to boost or cut a selected harmonic in the mid to high end. Unlike a traditional EQ, the XT-BC makes frequency alterations based on the note played. This removes any "guesswork" when using a track EQ on a bass instrument. Because the XT-BC tracks the notes as they are played, you can rest assured that the performance will be kept intact as adjustments are made.

The XT-BC is part of Harrison's Character Plug-in Bundle ($129). This bundle also includes the XT-VC Vocal Character plug-in, for frequency-agile equalization of vocal recordings.
