Denise Get Low with Bass XL Plug-In

Denise have released some great new plugins over the past year, starting with their first plug-in “The Saturator“, and onto the “NOIZE‘. These guys like to keep it simple but with the emphasis on ensuring their plug-ins are quick and easy-to-use, and offer an incredibly powerful sonic addition to your mixes. They have now followed up with Bass XL, a plugin for creating a massive yet controlled low end for your track in seconds.

The Bass XL is great for creating consistent weight and presence for your mix. Enhance a kick drum, drum sub mix, percussion track or melodic content like a rhodes, guitar or bass. The great power in the plugin comes from the drive and tone controls which give you a fine grained control over the harmonics and saturation of your sound.

The Bass XL is easy to work with: Choose which frequency to boost, apply the boost with the mix control and then choose a filter slope to set the width of the boost. Steep slopes accentuate the harmonic content, a lighter slope accentuates the frequency band. Drive and colour the sound with the tone control. Repeat steps until happy with the results.

 

The plugin features the following highlights:

  • Tone dial: For full control over the character and color of your boost.
  • Volume independent drive: For a consistent sound in dynamic tracks.
  • Ability to solo the added bass for reference or apply additional effects like saturation or distortion.
  • Different filter slopes for a defined sound.
  • Low CPU usage.
  • Work offline without dongles or complex licence managers.

This plugin is now available as a trial and full version on the denise website in VST/VST3/AU formats:    denise/special/BassXL.
