Overview
Spot the problem - Reduce Harshness - Add Life and Sparkle
The Harshness Control allows you to eliminate unpleasant high frequencies from complex signals and during mastering. Based on M/S (Mid/Side) processing, it imparts a tube-like analog smoothness and tames unpleasant digital harshness.
Add Tube-like Tone
bx_refinement is not an emulation of a certain tube sound. Instead, it combines several characteristics found in musical tube equipment to give you an effective tool that is easy to operate.
Easily Target Problem Areas
With simple controls, bx_refinement allows you to quickly identify and discard offending frequencies.
Dynamic & Groovy
The oscillation option creates nice warming effects. You can adjust the speed of the oscillator and even sync it to the tempo of your song. This way you can emphasize the groove of your mix.
bx_refinement is a processor that will truly stand alone in your sonic toolkit.
Features
- Reduces harshness and breathes life into recordings
- Dynamic or modulation-based damping of unwanted frequencies
- Soft & hard damping provide second order filtering and higher order filtering respectively
- Solo filter allows you to hear just what you’re removing from the recording
- Subtle saturation and presence controls enhance the material without changing its character
- M/S processing on board!
VENUE AAX format is no longer available for this product.
As of May 24th, 2018, the VENUE AAX format will not be part of the license. Current VENUE users don’t need to worry, everything that currently works will continue to do so. Only further development and support will end.

Industry Reviews
Since a majority of my chain consists of analog gear, I'm very selective when it comes to which plugins I use. bx_refinement has definitely been a great addition to my arsenal.
This plugin is the coolest and strangest tool we've come across. It works wonders on harsh overhead and guitar tracks that we've had come in for mixing. In a mastering setting, it really helps… Read More
I've been an analog based mastering engineer for the past 20 years. When people used to ask what plugins I used, I would always respond with 'Plugins? I don't use no stinking plugins.' And then… Read More

Good when there's an issue
As it says, tames high frequency harshness. I find myself using this less the better I get, there is some magic to it though, it can widen your cruddy mix or fix an awful source, but I find it… Read MoreBX REFINEMENT
Great tool but only for special operations where heavy chances are needed. Maybe it’s a user thing but I’ve used this only for couple of times successfully. It surely saved the vocal sound when I… Read MoreHandy de-harsher
Proven handy for de-harshing a few edgy sounding hard rock/metal projects in combination with EQ. The range and speed in the dynamics section especially useful. As always: tread carefully.
-… Read MoreWell, it worked :)
I had a problem with a badly recorded vocal. It was harsh and very ESS:y. BX_Refinement solved the problem nicely. Very easy to use as well. I have a feeling I will use this on other sounds as well.bx_refinement
Makes everything sounds smoother and it's so simple and easy to use. One of my go to- plugins.
