Read Morebx_Masterdesk is one of my absolute top go-to “colorful” compressors. The ability to add slight color with incredible compression and regulate stereo width simultaneously makes it a formidable weapon in every producers ultimate battle - time! It’s a total winner, highly recommended!
bx_masterdesk is the analog mastering that every DJ/Music Producer dreams of. An extremely versatile plugin, straight to the point, with magnificent sounds that makes your track go from one stage to another in the blink of an eye.
The “Foundation” and “Tone Stack” knobs are amazing for prepping your track for any festival, gig or streaming. The front of the party thanks you!
I like to use the gentle shelving curve that Brainwork bx_masterdesk has on the lows and highs in combination with a bit of THD which makes the mix sound like a finished record. A touch of the Brainwork bx_masterdesk De-Esser as a high-frequency limiter helps me control harsh mixes.
