mastering sound processing vst's

[kingnaya]

hey... i was just wondering.. does anyone know what vst could recreate the dimnsion expander in n.i. massive? i like adding a lil too my basses it makes them sound instantly nice and sorta nice and processed..... does anyone know any vst's that re good for processing sounds? somone mentiond izotope ozone..... i also make alot of basses in reason and then rewire them too ableton. and would like too know what vst's i could use too process them... compression etc... thanx alot for your help. and im sorry my punctuation is poo.. im tired.

Bootsy stuff is nice and also free:

The Dimension Expander is a tricky one, since it spreads the signal in the stereo field - and conventional wisdom says to keep the bass in the center as much as possible. That said, anything that 'smears' the stereo field a little (maybe the SHEPPI vst?) plus early-reflected 'verb and some very light chorusing... there you go.

them bootsy plug ins look like there just eq's .... is there anything out ther i can just stick onto a nice synth i already have too give it a sexxxxxxxxxxy processsed sound?.... i realy like the dimension expander in ni. massive i put that on all my stuff its intstand niceness.. it sounds like some sort of special chorus.
i could t ozon isotopes and stick it over a synth and just check all the diffrent presets maybe?

Oh, okay. They're a bit more than just EQ (at least, Rescue and TesslaSE are, which are the ones I've used) - more like gentle distortion that gives stuff a bit of subtle presence and crunch. But I don't know Dimension Expander, and if you're after something a bit less subtle then I can't help much...

Izotope Ozone = The shit.

I can't recommend it enough.
You can apply your changes to specific bands only or all of them if thats your wish.
it has many diverse functions and while it can dramatically change your sound it can also be very subtle.

Do yourself and your listeners a favor and get Ozone and figure out how to use it. You wont be disappointed.

Hahaha I laughed so hard when I read that. Didn't see that coming, but how appropriate!

short reverb w/ predelay.

short reverb w/ predelay.

Sounds like stereo sample delay too.

Btw, doing this on your master will seriously harm the integrity of the audio. It will sound mushy and shit on a club system.

If done right, it is not so.

Seeing that most club systems are run in summed mono, I cant see how this is going to sound great. Terrible phase issues. Things will drop out the mix etc...

im just arguing if your mix/master is good it should still translate good to mono. if done right. easy.

Thats not always true, a good stereo mix wont translate well in mono a good 30-50% of the time, in my honest experience. You need to meet in the middle as such.
I do use stereo widening, but thats mostly on my bass, and sometimes some widening on my master. I would never mess with phase responses or extreme chorus effects on my master. thats just asking for trouble!

i wasnt talking good stereo-mixes, i was talking good mixes and i wasnt talking about extreme chorus?
all i was talking abot was

short reverb w/ predelay.

.
you were the one misinterpreting that

Sounds like stereo sample delay too.

. easy.

so youre saying that all those good mixed and mastered stereovinyl masters "wont translate well in mono a good 30-50% of the time"?

dont think so.

Thats not what we were discussing. The original poster wants to add the said effects above to his master. Im not stupid

[logic pro]

i just put what you were saying in quotes, sorry.

and nobody was talking about extreme chorus.


aaand there is nothing wrong with adding a lil stereo smear above those bass frequencies. but whateva. im out all good.

I'm still retarded in this area, so I can't personally help you much.
But I can send you a link that looks to be helpful, and I'd like to personally use here soon.

please remember: slapping ozone 4 on is not mastering, this ghf guide is strangely misleading
