What Is bx_masterdesk Classic?
Compatibility: Mac 10.19+, Win 7-11, 64-bit, VST2, VST3, AAX, AU
bx_masterdesk by Plugin Alliance, is a mastering chain that has a simple, easy workflow and is set-up in a way that helps you to master your own music, without having to understand the technicalities of mastering yourself.
bx_masterdesk includes analog models that sound great, with an intuitive layout that has a pre-defined mastering workflow, so you can get great results without really knowing what you're doing.
It's Plugin Alliance's answer to AI mastering, that, instead of leaving it up to an algorithm, gives you an easy-to-understand plugin that will help you get great sounding masters yourself, rather than just slapping an AI preset on it.
Although AI mastering is pretty good these days, and has been trained thoroughly, it can start to get expensive as you master more and more tracks.
With bx_masterdesk, you'll be able to master your music quickly, all for free!
What makes it so easy to use is the pre-defined workflow.
You have controls for:
- Compression
- Limiting
- Stereo enhancing
- Tone
- Volume
- Output
- Foundation
- & more
And all of this is broken down into a 3 step process, with minimal control, to make sure that someone using it doesn't get confused. This little beast is so good at getting quick masters that, you can get something that sounds pretty solid in a single minute.
Of course bx_masterdesk Classic is not a substitute for a mastering engineer, but if you're not going to get a mastering engineer, or you want a quick demo that sounds the best it can be, this is a great choice.
It's definitely worth checking out, and after all, it's free – so you can always test it for yourself and see if you like it or not.
We're sure you will though!
