Built on the same high-end analog mastering chain as its big brother, the bx_masterdesk plug-in, the Brainworx bx_masterdesk Classic plug-in offers powerful, easy-to-use controls for a self-contained mastering environment so you can effortlessly produce high‑level masters.Now You Can:

1-2-3, Mastered
In three quick steps, the bx_masterdesk Classic plug-in will give you a professional-sounding master. First, turn up the Volume control. Next, set the Foundation knob to adjust the low end, and finally, tweak the Tone knob to season the source to taste. Refine even further with one-knob solutions like Stereo Enhance to add width, and THD to inject grit and character.
Visual Feedback
There's a fine line between making a master loud, and overly squashing its dynamic range, and with many of the mastering plug-ins on the market, it’s easy to overdo it. But thanks to the large, centrally located Dynamic Range meter on bx_masterdesk Classic, you can always keep a watchful eye, so you’ll know to apply just the right amount of loudness.
Mastering for Many
In today’s competitive music and content world, there are numerous situations beyond just album production where it’s handy to quickly and effectively master a project yourself. Whether you’re a mixer sending roughs to a client, a band sending a demo to a label or promoter, or a composer submitting a TV or film cue; having a fast, easy and powerful mastering solution like the bx_masterdesk Classic plug-in gives your creations a professional advantage.

Simple and Sounds Great
I finish most mixes with this following an ATR-102. Tightens up and gives a little tonal tilt where you need it. High value!

Perfect!
Let me preface this by saying I'm a songwriter that needs to create reasonable work tapes for my publisher to review prior to an official demo recording. I am not an engineer and prefer easy to use plugins with great presets to get the sound I need. i.e. live recording either guitar or keyboard with vocals, presets to get the sound I'm after without too much tweaking, then a quick master with BX Masterdesk Classic. I do own quite a few UA plugins but only write a glowing review about a few of them...this is one...
With everything mentioned above, this is exactly what the doctor ordered! Such a simple way to get an unpolished master for my work tapes. So easy to use which is what I need!J. MANOSALVA

Brainworx bx Master Classic Review
I love the presence that it gives/sheen but my ears seems to think that it dominates the left side of the stereo spectrum. I don't know how to adjust that.. Maybe it's just my ears but I don't get that feeling from other plugins that I use.

Uuuuh What?
What the Hades is in this thing. My audio mixing life is awesome now! Since I bought this thing I can sleep better. I act nicer and seem like a much sweeter person. I've given up protesting and burning buildings down. I like white people as well. I no longer hate being white and my nose even looks smaller than normal. What's in this thing. I feel much more attractive now. Seriously, I don't eat pigs anymore.

Cool plugin for the master bus
Been using this on my mixbus to fatten mixes up a little. A little sprinkling of this goes a long way.

Rapido y cumplidor
Si necesitas perfila tu master con rapidez esta es una muy buena opcion

Too Loud
Even at the lowest recommended, a nasty loud master. No elegance or grace just loud. Good for Youtube. MS is great but seriously course loudness. That's all I can say...big horrible loud masters..
