Notape_dup1 Posted May 26, 2001 Share Posted May 26, 2001 Originaly, the BBE was designed to realign harmonics for loudspeaker systems. I would never in my right mind use a BBE while I am mixing or mastering, it's just sacreligious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The original BBE added harmonics via distortion and possibly high-end-only compression. They just wanted to fool people into thinking otherwise. --Ethan The acoustic treatment experts Ethan's Audio Expert Book Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My real objection is the way BBE misstates what it is really doing to achieve that effect. --Ethan The acoustic treatment experts Ethan's Audio Expert Book Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
not coaster MODERATOR Posted May 28, 2001 Share Posted May 28, 2001 What I find interesting is this: I A/B a lot of "professionally" mixed cd's that I own through my studio BBE and the processed sound often kicks butt. That presents a couple of thoughts. 1) Anyone can learn to work the gear. Having a glass ear and good old horse sense is a different matter. I know guys doing mixes from their houses that meet or exceed the commercial quality products. 2) Many egos are offended by a product that is so simple yet so effective, and yet oftentimes casual listeners will agree that BBE improves the sound. 3) It's almost a MAC vs PC issue. No clear winner can possibly emerge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
