I came out of the cave today and found this. Is there any good reason for not using it on a completed mix? I mean it is obvious that it can be overdone but with moderate settings... sounds too good to be true...

(?!?)

It is too good to be true.

Be extremely wary of things that mess with phase when treating an entire mix. Phase tricks are fine for individual tracks for flavor, but do it on the whole shebang and you might as well throw all your hopes for mix translation on other systems out the window. I've never been in a "pro" studio that has a BBE racked anywhere. The hi shelf boost on a mackie mixer is more pleasing to my ear, personally....

Use it live though! Great for that (if you can get it cheaper than a mackie mixer!) But put your mix through it and I will fold my arms and shake my head in your general direction.

Yeah, phase is a bitch for sure... I try to use linear phase processing on my completed mixes when possible (not that it woul dbe easy to get liner phase compressors for example... :-/ )

Is there any way to figure out if some plugin has messed with the phase in a "wrong way" ie. the track will sound absolute shit on a different system...?
