Simple, Yet Powerful
Mastering requires a balanced, highly tuned processing chain, which can be both complex and expensive. The bx_masterdesk plug-in takes much of the guesswork out of the mastering process by combining several parameters into single controls with carefully chosen individual audio processors, each pre-tuned for easy and effective results.
Four Compressors
The bx_masterdesk’s compressor section makes it easy to add energy to your masters without any pumping or unwanted artifacts. Inspired by classic designs, but transformed for the needs of modern DAW production, the compressor section features four different operating modes, each with its own attack and release rate for quick parallel compression textures.
Easy EQ
The EQ section of the bx_masterdesk plug-in lets you dial in broad stroke tonal adjustments using an intuitive control set that resembles a guitar amp's tone stack. Simply turn the Bass, Mid, Treble, and Presence knobs to quickly and subtly tweak the EQ curve of your master.
Final Touches
For final seasoning, the bx_masterdesk plug-in sports two resonant filters, perfect for cleaning up low-end rumble and taming harsh transients. The bx_masterdesk’s precision metering will ensure your levels are always correct, while Brainworx’s renowned M/S processing lets you artfully shape the width of your masters.

TRUST YOUR INSTINCT
If you are a good mixer and have good taste and sense of balance, this thing is gold! I used to get my works mastered by an engineer at one of London's studios but more than once I have felt disappointed and had to request amendments. Engineers have their own taste and attending a mastering session is very expensive. Unattended mastering doesn't always bring great results. This is a great solution for that.

Plug and Play
without reading any manual you can just start and play around with the BX and listen what it does in your final Output Stereo Channel to the mixed sound. I am using it in my final mix at the end. So far I have not try to use it to create a final Stereo masterpiece for Radio or Streaming.

MUST HAVE
This almost feels like cheating, once you try it there is no way you won’t get it!

Totally Wow!!
I first used the Bx Masterdesk a year ago. I ran the demo and decided to use it on the master bus on a track I was mixing, that track went on to be popular and played on local commercial radio stations. The artist ask me a year later to find out what was the "secret sauce" I use to make that track as for now he wants that sound for all his tracks. I proceeded to open the pro tools session and realize The bx was on and when I would bypass the difference was huge. By far the number one plug in thats a must have, every control you need at your fingers tips to make a great sounding master.

Amazing Best plug I ever bought
This works like voodoo to me. I was able to change the volume without raising the level. It’s self explanatory and you don’t even know how to master to use it. When you first use it and have no mastering experience you will be high for 24 hours over the fact that you can do this. It’s like magic. I started my own mastering company using this.

Absolutely amazing results
Very good control vs results, so easy to get radio quality master as long as the mix is good.
