he Dangerous BAX EQ is a deep 1U

comprising stereo high and low EQ shelving

bands along with high and low ﬁlters. As

we have come to expect from designer Chris

Muth, there is no skimping here and only the ﬁnest

components are used, including hand-wired Mogami

cable, and there are no transformers in the audio path.

The front panel features controls that are stepped for

repeatability and for matched stereo setup.

There are high and low frequency shelving sections

where left and right channels share the frequency

selection, but have useful separate boost/cut knobs.

Each of these has a range of +/-5dB with half dB

steps. The high shelf has eight switchable frequencies

at 1.6, 1.8, 2.1, 2.5, 3.4, 4.8, 7.1 and 18kHz. These

frequency labels are at about an octave below the true

shoulder frequency; with such broad curves Muth

seems to have decided that these are better described

at the middle of their effective curve, so at 5dB boost

there is exactly that amount of boost at the indicated

frequency, with the shelf ﬂattening out at about a 6dB

boost somewhere above that. The low shelf also has

eight positions at 74, 84, 98, 116, 131, 166, 230

and 361Hz, and these are indeed their true shoulder

frequencies. Flanking these are the High- and Low-

Pass 2-pole ﬁlters (12dB/octave) with the low ﬁlter

settings at 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 43 and 54Hz, while

the high ﬁlter settings are at 7.5, 9, 11.1, 12.6, 18, 28

and 70kHz. The ﬁlter selection knobs switch individual

ﬁlters with a relay, so only the chosen ﬁlter is selected.

While 5dB may not seem like much to play with the

Baxandall curves have a very wide Q.

‘The BAX has already had the thumbs-up from

a number of mastering engineers and that arena is

probably where it will prove most popular. If you want

power and grunt, or mid-range juicing, then the BAX

might not do it, although the high shelf set to lower

frequencies certainly brings out some poke. But if you

want smooth treble and bass sweetening, then this is a

must-try box.’ Resolution V10.6. n

ro Tools 9 incorporates ‘next-generation

architecture’ allowing users the choice to

work with Avid audio interfaces, third-

party audio interfaces, or no hardware at all

when using the built-in audio capabilities of a Mac or

PC. This software-only option for Pro Tools delivers ‘the

most open, ﬂexible and feature rich version in history’

according to the company. Also new is support for Eucon

to expand control surface options to include Artist Series

and Pro Series audio consoles and controllers (formerly

known as Euphonix consoles and controllers).

Many features previously available as add-ons are now

available as standard. Automatic Delay Compensation

— users can mix and record with increased alignment

and phase accuracy without the need to manually

compensate for latencies from hardware I-Os, internal

and external routing, and plug-in algorithm processing.

More audio tracks and buses — allows users to create

more elaborate productions with support for 96 mono

or stereo voices in the new software-only version of

Pro Tools (192 voices with Pro Tools HD systems), 256

internal buses, and 160 aux tracks.

Advanced production toolset — Users can analyse

and adjust timing across multiple tracks for tighter

rhythm with the built-in multitrack Beat Detective

module, improve organisation and asset sharing with

the DigiBase Pro ﬁle management tool, and save time

with full Import Session Data dialog.

A series of audio for picture enhancements permits

collaboration with other audio and video software

users, including: OMF/AAF/MXF interchange and

MP3 export; built-in timecode ruler (software only

conﬁguration of Pro Tools); updated 7.1 surround

panner; and new variable stereo pan depths.

‘Pro Tools 9 represents a seismic shift from the

Digidesign era into a new strategy for Avid. For

years, Pro Tools was (uniquely) DAW software that

you couldn’t buy; it was merely made available and

authorised by virtue of an attached Digidesign audio

interface. But now, everything has changed. There is

now Pro Tools 9, the optional Complete Production

Toolkit 2, and 9HD. Most excitingly, all now come with

Core Audio and ASIO support.’ Resolution V10.1. n
