How to Disable Mastering Assistant?

I know people are trying to be helpful, but I think what the poster wants is the same thing that I want and that is to not have that mastering plug in sitting in the channel strip where it can accidentally be enabled at all. It's irritating. I do have a workaround for the original post. If you load your the mix bus plugins that you use all the time into the mix bus strip and then go to the top of the strip click/hold setting>save channel strip setting as... That will save that chain of plugins to whatever you name it. Then when you open a session to mix you again click hold on the Setting tab at the top of the mix bus strip> scroll down to user channel strip settings and your named plugin chain should be there. Click on it and your plugin chain will load. That way you are going nowhere near the mastering plug in button at the bottom.

How to Disable Mastering Assistant:

1. Go Here: Use Mastering Assistant in Logic Pro - Apple Support
2. As it Reads: "To turn Mastering Assistant on and off, click or tap Bypass in the Mastering Assistant window (or toggle it on and off in the Audio Effect slot)."

You can hide the Stereo Out Channel in the Mixer by clicking on the Output button. You can still see the Stereo out levels next to your other faders in the Channel Strip.
