bx_console N: Step by Step

Veteran Groove3 instructor Larry Holcombe presents a comprehensive video tutorial series on the Brainworx bx_console N, an incredibly faithful and powerful emulation of the Neve VXS analog console that's been made even more versatile than the famous hardware version. You'll learn how to harness the various components for all kinds of tasks—from gating and compression to EQ, filtering, and more. If you're looking to inject your tracks with some analog-style goodness without sacrificing versatility, this is for you! These videos are designed for new bx_console N users.
