Izotope Ozone

[6ense_muzik]

I have recently discovered ozone, a mastering plugin with a limiter, compressor, stereo widening etc

Has anybody else played around with this?

If your not planning on sending your tracks to be mastered, I think this is a great alternative, especially if you want your tracks to be loud enough to mix with other beats.

Any comments on ease of use. Hows the learning curve been

[6ense_muzik]

The interface is easy to get your head around, and there are plenty of presets geared for different parts of a track, or different genres of music for a final master to learn from.

Theres Paragraphic EQ, mastering reverb, loudness, multiband harmonic exciter, multiband dynamics and multiband stereo imaging to play around with.

its great, i use it on all my masters, make sure u know what your doing though

[Hircine]

There's info about ozone in the mix & mastering thread. As long as you know what you are doing, it's a great tool, but won't beat a professional engineer mastering your track.

It's a great tool, the limiter has a nice character. multiband compression is nice as well for certain things, especially for messing with a drum track.

i don't know if this will be of any use, but this magazine has a few pages dedicated to mastering with ozone.

I have ozone 3 and 4,not got 5 yet because of the price.It is a really good plugin but can make your tracks sound terrible if you over do it.I like the mid/side processing feature with the eq and the stereo spread function is pretty handy.The intelligent setting on the limiter/maximizer is awesome much better sounding then logics stock limiters.All the metering tools packed in their too are useful.I like it,my one complaint would be it can be a bit cpu hungry so i only normally only use one instance,i like to limit/compress a lot of my sounds when making blines or drum processing and never bounce because i'm lazy,on some tunesi can have 10+ limiters on different channels and the cpu side of izotope wouldn't cut that for me so i don't use it as much as i would like.

i use ozone on my drum bus during and then master with it too. You def. can RUIN mixes if you overdo stuff or didnt mix the track well in the first place. eprom wrote a guide on how he masters w/ it on the glitchhopforum http://glitchhopforum.com/glitch-hop-pr ... -t789.html. I do my own process when i use it but the thing is a beast espeically (like stated before) with all the extra meters packed into its UI.

Learning curve can be a little brutal at first id also stay away form presets that come with it.
