    Installation

    For PC Users:

    Use the included installer to select your NebulaTempRepository Folder to install
    the collection there. Or, you can simply copy all "n2p" files to your
    Nebula "Programs" folder and copy all "n2v" files to your "Vectors" folder.

    For Mac Users:

    Copy all "n2p" files to your Nebula "Programs" folder and copy all "n2v" files to your "Vectors" folder.

    The Programs


    BXQ Baxandall Equalizer For Nebula Pro consists of 17 programs: You will find these under "BXQ" .

    Programs are sampled at 96kHz and are tested to retain accuracy at 44.1kHz and 48kHz sample rates with the latest version of Nebula3 Pro. There are two sub-categories which divide this collection: "EQ" "PRE"

    Program Description:


    BXQ-LOW-HIGH

    This program provides you with both the Low and High EQ functions all on a single control.
    Control #1 selects between 50Hz and 100Hz Low Frequencies, and 10kHz and 15kHz High Frequencies.
    Control #2 selects Gain in 15 steps below 0dB and 15 steps above 0dB, designated in dB. These steps are different depending on the boost or cut, and frequency chosen.
    The "Drive" function allows control of the eq's harmonic distortion.


    BXQ-LOW-HIGH-2

    This program provides simultaneous boost of Low and High frequencies to give the user a unique control over the Baxandall EQ concept with the greatest ease. There are Four Modes, selected from Control #1.
    Setting #1 will boost/cut 50Hz and 10kHz simultaneously.
    Setting #2 will boost/cut 50Hz and 15kHz simultaneously.
    Setting #3 will boost/cut 100Hz and 10kHz simultaneously.
    Setting #4 will boost/cut 100Hz and 15kHz simultaneously.
    Control #2 selects Gain in 15 steps below 0dB and 15 steps above 0dB, designated in dB. These steps are different depending on the boost or cut, and frequency chosen. The "Drive" function allows control of the eq's harmonic distortion.


    BXQ-LOW

    This program provides boost and cut of the Low Frequency EQ Band.
    Control #1 selects 50Hz or 100Hz.
    Control #2 selects from -15dB to +15 dB
    The "Drive" function allows control of the eq's harmonic distortion.


    BXQ-HIGH

    This program provides boost and cut of the High Frequency EQ Band.
    Control #1 selects 10kHz or 15kHz.
    Control #2 selects from -15dB to +15 dB
    The "Drive" function allows control of the eq's harmonic distortion.


    BXQ-MIDS

    This program is a special, original configuration that we created based on the original Baxandall curves. By inverting the the order of gain steps and editing the output levels to compensate, we have turned the EQ into a wide "Q" mid range equalizer with 4 modes.
    Control #1 selects four modes:
    Mode 1 is boost/cut of mids from 50Hz to 10kHz
    Mode 2 is boost/cut of mids from 50Hz to 15kHz
    Mode 3 is boost/cut of mids from 100Hz to 10kHz
    Mode 4 is boost/cut of mids from 100Hz to 15kHz
    The "Drive" function allows control of the eq's harmonic distortion.


    The Mastering Session

    The Category "MST" stands for Mastering.
    In addition to all of the standard programs, we created a unique "Mastering" version of the same programs with a specially designed near-flat frequency response from 20Hz to over 35kHz
    This allows you to benefit from the exact same spectral and harmonic analog response with flatter spectral plot for highly critical mastering processes.


    BXQ-L-H-MAST

    This is the same as the "L-H" program using the special mastering setting for extremely linear response.


    BXQ-L-H-2-MAST

    This is the same as the "L-H-2" program using the special mastering setting for extremely linear response.


    BXQ-MIDS-MAST

    This is the same as the "MIDS" program using the special mastering setting for extremely linear response.


    The "CLN" or "Clean" EQ Category

    This section provides the user with a "clean" version of all of the other eq programs listed. "Clean" means that the harmonic distortion has been removed, providing all of the same spectral characteristics without any distortion.
    These programs include:
    BXQ-LOW-HIGH_CLN
    BXQ-L-H-2-CLN
    BXQ-LOW-CLN
    BXQ-HIGH_CLN
    BXQ-MIDSMASTCLN
    BXQ-LH-MASTCLN
    BXQ-LH2MASTCL


    BXQ-PRE

    This provides the BXQ as an analog preamp device with harmonic distortion.


    BXQ-PRE CLN

    This provides the BXQ as an analog preamp device without harmonic distortion.

    About The Hardware

    About the BXQ Baxandall Equalizer. The analog hardware device that this collection is inspired by is a modern design with extremely clean signal pathology and a great sound. It is designed for use in mixing and mastering, and is a unique example of the Baxandall concept.
    The outer curves of the eq are extremely wide, extending all the way to the edge of 46kHz- truly amazing!

    I truly hope that this collection adds to your enjoyment of Nebula.


    Thanks and God Bless You.
