TK Audio TK-lizer eq VS Dangerous Bax eq

[dangerousben]

Got the TK & I love it. Haven't used the Bax yet. Hit me up with questions!

All I can say about the BAX is that I bought it as a "secondary" unit and I'd bet a dollar it's on nearly everything I've worked on in the past couple years.

That said -- I'm tempted to demo the TKL just for the M/S function...

From their site: We like to thank Wayne Kirkwood at KA Electronics for letting us use his genius M/S circuit!!
The MS encoder/decoder from Wayne is REALLY good! I also use it in my masteringconsole and it's simply brilliant.

Jap, the M/S circuit is really a gift combined with that easy-to-modify HPF. Too bad it doesn't have separate outputs for M/S, but I'm sure TK will build one with additional outputs up on request.

How do you use it? In any particular situation or it is somewhere locked in your chain?

What are the good things and what you don't like about it, if there is any.

Is that M/S internal? Beacuse you mentioned it doesn't have separate outputs for M/S?

Tnx

Right now, I use it mainly to get the mix balance straight without leaving a too colorful footprint. Usually it sits right behind the comp in my chain.
I often use the HPF in M/S to mono out unwanted rumble in the S-channel as well as in the M-Channel, because I can apply different cutoffs to M and S.
For the rest it's mostly about broad stroke boosts, I do apply cuts digitally with ProQ. The HiShelf is great for bringing out some air in duller mixes. The separate gain controls per channel can be used to edit stereo wideness.

I'd love to have 0.5 dB steps above +-1dB and more overlapping between the bands. If the unit had additional M/S outputs it could be used as a M/S-decoder for the chain. But this can be done very easily in the digital domain.

I'm looking forward to have the TK team up with my Gyraf G14, which should arrive in a few days. This should give a powerful combination of tools for my needs.
