Welcome to my FX Series of videos on the Behringer X32 console. This series is taking a look at the effect rack built into the X32. Today we look at the Sound Maxer which is an emulation of the BBE 482i Sonic Maximizer. View my blog post about the Sound Maxer at: dbbaudio.com/2...

I think that you might be missing the boat here. The BBE Sonic Maximizer is a fantastic tool. It should be inserted right before the signal hits the amps. The time alignment process works and works well. It's about clarity, the bass and treble "boost" is to be used as a slight tweek. Thanks for all your great videos though.

@sghrd 2 года назад

So, how can we duplicate the effect of the BBE with the channel EQ, saving an FX block? And, would be it pretty equivalent in terms of also the "glueing" kind effect?

@rickbiessman6084 5 лет назад

So what’s the difference really between this effect and using the channel eq? I was kinda expecting some combination of EQ, compression and possibly saturation (all those come to my mind when I think of "making something sound big"). But since it seems to only do neutral sounding eq, what’s the deal? Can someone enlighten me?

@dinospd 5 лет назад

Rick Biessman I was wondering the same...

@thimothorin 4 года назад

Also thought it being saturation... I think I read it’s also Multiband compression

I use it all the time on the kick and it can be great on toms and snare too.

I will never understand why this is called Process.. why not simply call it HIGHContour (for normal people lol)

@spiderpig4939 4 года назад

What about using it on a bus send for a live stream?

@sven179 4 года назад

Is there any significant reason why you'd use this over just using a plain old EQ? If it's just a low/high shelf, it makes it sound a lot more interesting than it seems to be...

@1steamx 6 лет назад

Thank you for yet another awesome tutorial. Your videos are quite helpful. When using this inserted on the LR bus which settings most closely replicate the BBE unit. I checked the blog page but am still unclear as to the recommended settings.

Nice video, but your comment on the Taylor vs a. Martin could not be more wrong in my opinion. Martin's are muddy and full of mids. Taylors have a strong low end and sparkling highs. They sound much more complete and multidimensional than Martins.

@csdarlington86 3 года назад

"this acoustic sound very thin, typical of a Taylor guitar" truer words haven't been spoken lol

Drew this is also one of my regular FX, I love what it does for an acoustic guitar. I generally run acoustic through the A side and rhythm through the B side. I had not considered using it on the Main LR, but will have to experiment!

Thankyou for taking the time to do this video. SUPER HELPFUL!

@TheKevbe 4 года назад

How is it different compared to simple EQ? Does it generate some harmonics, compress?

@ToddWCorey1 4 года назад

Love your videos, Drew! And for hair care tips, please look to Ed Grimley, I must say!

I've got 2 of the original 19inch rack units they sound incredible .thanks for another great video drew

That is awesome Lorna! Thanks for watching!

@usersd2138 5 лет назад

Could you help me, how to apply some (not one) fx on x32 insert?

@rautibo 7 лет назад

imo you should use equal gain before activate/deactivate so we can hear the real difference in sonority and not in intensity. i have to do it manually to try to hear best what this is doing.

@cecinestpasunename 8 лет назад

This is a really good intro to the effect - I'm wondering when you would prefer to use this vs eq, especially on your master bus? It seems on the surface like a visual eq would give you the same effect with finer control.

@DrewBrashler 8 лет назад

Exactly, the EQ will allow you to get that fine tuned control that you want. Some people really love the BBE units, so I wanted to make sure to cover it in my effects series. I personally, would rather save the effects rack space for using something like the Leisure Compressor or the Combinator.

Drew - Love your videos! However, just to let you know about Maximizers (And X32's Sound Maxer): The way they designed it is correct. High frequencies travel faster than lower frequencies. Therefore, the original design that the X32 emulated from BBE, aligns the frequency difference. It delays the top end so when sitting in the audience (or in the sweet spot of your mixing position), both speakers - woofer and horn/tweeter- reach you at the same time. This is a commonly misunderstood concept. When using some sort of PA Manager such as the DBX Driverack, frequency dependent delays are common with large FOH systems and far-field setups. Not so much with studio/near and mid-field systems.

@TheFirionus 6 лет назад

I need to correct you on this one: High frequencies barely travel faster than low frequencies. (open access source: doi.org/10.1121/1.2947631) The source is rather technical, but the dispersion graph Fig. 1 shows: Yes, higher frequencies travel faster than lower frequencies. But at 50 % humidity this difference in speed of sound is only about 0.007 %. So a barely (really probably not) noticable delay of 20 µs on the low frequencies occurs at a distance of 100 m for 50 % humidity and at 25 m for 0 % humidity. In some fourms I found the delay in the Sound Maxer is on the order of .5 ms to 2.5 ms. Such delay times are highly unlikely to result from differences in speed of sound, because you would have to be kilometers away from the sound source to get such long delays. The change in sound however is pleasant, and I would suggest masking effects being the source of that.
