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.

Amazing Best plug I ever bought

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.

I have not regretted purchasing this plugin. in my 10 years of music experience, I have never had 1 plugin that can get me close if not to the finished product. Great job Brainworx & UAD!

Phenomenal Plug In
I have spent years trying to find a tool like this! The presets are spot on! The versatility is mind bending!
G. Jackson
Love it
Works just as I wanted, really impressed. Makes my tracks sound fab.
S. Pedersen
Easier than I thought.
The bx_masterdesk_classic was a breeze to work with and a good tool to do quick mastering on.
Liked a lot despite the deceptive small numbers of adjustable pots and buttons.
Sometimes you don’t need more..V. Kourkoutas
Just WOW
What a plugin!! Finally, all the volume, compression and shine of a mastered track right after mixing. Very useful to have an idea how it can sound afterwards. The Low End controls is fantastic!!
S. Kenny
WOW
Unlike most Mastering software this is incredibly easy to use for the results it yields. Masterdesk is just that. An excellent plugin with fantastic power. Others may let you get down to the nitty gritty but that can also mean mistakes. To my ear, Masterdesk concentrates on listening, handling the most important tasks intuitively. One of the best buys I have made for Mastering. It is in my main Template.
W. Pruksavanich
It work very well.
I use this in my master track, it is a saxophone ensemble music (classical music). It's easy to understand and it gives me the sound that I want.

It’s fantastic! If you’re like me, you like to get tweaking at the presets. However, this is the magic instant mastering fairy dust. It’s that simple, just switch it on and you’re finished.
