IвЂ™m impressed with the result, as the high end sounds pleasant even if you push it quite hard. With or without this section, the end result is here. With the solo knob, it is quite simple to hear what are you are doing in this area and it really helps to focus on this Resonance Filter section. On one quite problematic song, I managed to make the lows less moody, and with this 6666 high area, I tamed a quiet buzzing high end, allowing me to add more treble and presence without it sounding annoying and all over the place. Things become a bit more tricky at the bottom left where you can tame some issues in problematic low or high areas by turning a knob at the predefined trouble frequencies and somehow make them less clear and prominent. A little less complicated is to set the knobs inside the mono/stereo section at the bottom right, where you can play it safe by setting the Mono Maker to around 70 to 90 Hz and tweak the Stereo Enhancer knob until you start to dislike it. Of course, we are talking about the equalizer section, about bass, mid, treble and presence knobs, where the feeling is everything. Of course, this is an area where you can ruin everything, but the safest way to find what works and what doesnвЂ™t is to simply drive the knobs from one extreme to the other and then, when youвЂ™ve figured out where it sounds better, just turn them back slightly until you get the balance.

You can always try them out and see if it sounds better, otherwise, pass. Under the compressor section, you can find two buttons that I usually donвЂ™t touch: Compressor Link and Limiter Turbo. All those knobs and buttons do make a difference so you will not be tweaking something that only skilled mastering engineers can hear вЂ“ it should be quite obvious. Again try all four and you will hear which one should be your choice. Then we have four TMT Compressor Mode buttons for choosing between the levels of compression, the first being the heaviest and the fourth the lightest. I would go to the Output Trim knob, below the Volume knob, setting it to 0.5 dB or similar, preventing peaks from going above zero. The next focus of attention depends on your taste. Tweak it clockwise to add more attention to the low end, or counter-clockwise to add a bit more high end вЂ“ until you find the sweet spot. The next big knob, on the right-hand side of the main graphical interface, and is called Foundation. If you are somewhere around seven on the VU meter showing dynamic range, then you are on the right path. So letвЂ™s go through the whole process.ДЇirst of all, you will probably start with the big volume knob on the left to set the output level that automatically adds compression if needed. Everything on the graphical interface is straight forward and easy to understand. One way or another, itвЂ™s a tool that almost anyone can master in less than five minutes ( master вЂ¦ get it?). Actually, it is one of those rare tools where itвЂ™s really hard to go wrong, but you really need a good pair of speakers to know if you are actually improving things or making them worse. It is easy to use: just turn the knob left or right and youвЂ™ll hear the difference immediately, knowing exactly where you are. Other than that, bx_masterdesk does an excellent job. If youвЂ™re not one of those people, you can still try it, and in most cases, you will get decent results, but some bigger imperfections wonвЂ™t get cleaned up. ItвЂ™s great for anyone who knows at least a bit about what they are doing.

But still, if your mixing skills donвЂ™t allow you to spot your weak points, donвЂ™t expect this plugin to fix it by itself. Also, it can do wonders for the high end, and the end result can really sound heavenly. Of course, there is a tool inside bx_masterdesk for adding or reducing low end and even targeting common weak points in a frequency range. If your mixes have an issue with leveling, being too bass-heavy, or if an instrument sticks out, basically not balanced in some way, this plugin canвЂ™t fix that. The problem comes if you are not at least a solid mixing engineer or producer. As all great mastering engineers say: mastering should just be slight tweaking and balancing the mix, making everything more prominent. Become your own mastering engineer with just a few clicks with yet another wonder tool from Brainworx.Д«rainworx bx_masterdesk gives us one brilliant hack.
