What BAE-1023 does
The plugin reproduces the circuitry of the BAE-1073 and adds finer tone shaping. Low and high ranges are shelving filters at up to +/-16 dB with selectable frequencies, while the mid range is a peaking band at +/-12 dB or +/-18 dB with a switchable frequency. Windows and macOS builds circulate as a crack for the BAE-1023, and the macOS build is also packed as a .dmg crack, so the release is often searched with a working serial key or keygen attached to the plugin name.
