I have heard that the BBS process can really help "home recordings" gain a more professional punch......Can anyone weigh in on the "pro's and con's"............

I used to work for a music shop that sold those and they do pretty much the same thing as a "loudness" button. When switched on they do make everything sound more hi-fi. I would not use one for recording but they might be nice for a live playback system. Especially for club music.

I've never used one, but the old saying is... "If you need a Sonic maximizer... your not mixing properly".....
Practice your mixing.... Practice is fun

scaling, I have a BBE unit and YES it can help sometimes even
when you have a good mix. For example, Craig Anderton has
written to mentally expect about a small improvement
from it though, like adding a little spice to a meal.
Like adding salt, a little goes a long way!
P.S. Personally I've noticed the most difference when using a
cassette multi-tracker instead of my (clearer) digital one.

The BBE may be the one exemption to the "cant polish a turd rule." Of course it would be best to avoid the turds in the first place.

I've got a BBE 462. I have used it both when tracking and for 2-track mixdown. It does help beef up the lows and add shimmer to the highs. But like with any processing a little goes a long way.
I agree that it may have more value in a cassette based system than in digital recording (since cassette recording can get a little "muddy").
I've gotten to the point where I rarely use the BBE in mixdown anymore (hopefully this means my tracking skills have improved), but I often use it for tracking. Many guitarists rave about the use of a BBE in a guitar rack (in particular with distorted sounds). I also like the BBE for tracking certain synth sounds.
