Whether you’re a musician, engineer or producer, bx_masterdesk will help you get to where you need to go quickly.

A Simple 3-Step Process For Great Sounding Masters

First, decide how hard your music will hit the processing chain of bx_masterdesk with the “Volume” control. Use the Dynamic Range VU meter to help you adjust your loudness and find the sweet spot for a master that sounds loud without sacrificing quality. Then, use the “Foundation” control to adjust the overall tonality of your mix between lows and highs, setting a nice bass foundation to build your master upon. Finally, adjust the “Tone Stack” to fine tune the vibe of your master. After this, you can tweak even further if desired by adjusting the mastering de-esser, compressor mix and stereo width controls for masters that truly shine.
