Plugin Alliance has announced the release of a Mid/Side version of the acclaimed HG-2 tube processor from Black Box Analog Design.
The Black Box HG-2MS plugin offers mastering grade tube saturation and harmonics. It comes with M/S processing, TMT, and advanced filters for even more creative saturation.
Celebrated mix & mastering engineers like Dave Pensado, Bob Horn, and Heba Kadry rely on the sweet tubes and creamy-sounding transformers of the Black Box HG-2 to help their mixes sound louder, bigger, and punchier at the same peak level.
Now, the HG-2 MS version offers mid-side processing, advanced filters, and more for even greater sonic refinement. This new plugin has also received Brainworx patented Tolerance Modeling Technology (TMT).
