    The Ozone 11 video walkthroughs are getting better, bit by bit, but, guys, let’s go all-in. Let’s work with a track where the listener doesn’t have to mentally sift through reverb to hear what’s happening. Let’s use a track whose mix isn’t already good. Let’s review the modules and their controls in-depth to rescue a mix. I don’t think anyone who is interested in this sort of content is going to stick around just because it features an over-produced sample track with a catchy melody or riff. We’re here to make a difference- to improve on something- while trying to make sense of all the controls available in Ozone 11. Make us a playlist with a 30m video on each module, each of which explores and reveals the intent and effect of all of the module’s controls. Top it off with a 30m summary lesson that draws upon the punch lines from each of the previous segment videos to pull it all together. This “How to master a song from start to finish in 2024” video is a step in the right direction-and better (more in-depth) than anything I’ve seen on Ozone 11 before-but let’s move the needle a bit further, away from entertainment and more toward education.

    I always like to throw the Vintage Limiter on the end of the chain regardless of the outcome, and use either the Fast and Compressed preset, or the Hard and Punchy, (then adjust accordingly)..for metal mixes it just pumps it up.The Stem Focus trick is something I never thought of. I've always thought that the limitation of Master Rebalance was that you can only adjust the volume of one of the faders, and not all, but if I throw another instance of Rebalance before the mothership, I'll be able to adjust more than just the one instrument? It would be nice to see a more hard rock/metal track being worked on...great vid! 🤘

    I appreciate the update. Maximizer has changed so much it threw me That's why I came here initially. I like the way that the Assistant has access to the levels in the modules for sound shaping without leaving it, though I am very comfortable with going into manual mode. Nice tip on Soft clip vs Limiter and how finding a balance is key. I was unaware of the Insight module and when I added it to my output chain I was surprised that it was full screen width and I cannot shrink it. So it is a bit cumbersome in my Mac OS Ventura. I plan to update to Sonoma soon and perhaps that will be resolved there? IDK. Overall a great overview touching on a lot of things. I may have been surprised by you not mentioning that the Maximizer is now a very different interface (from 10) and this is why and how it is improved because of it. But I understand this is not about Ozone 10 it is about what is in Ozone 11. Having the Ability to focus on certain aspects such as vocals, bass or drums in a separate Instance on Ozone in the chain is a very good use of this technology. Nice job. Thank you.

    Hello, Excuse my ignorance.. I loved this video but I haven't seen at any point (maybe I missed it) where you specify or select your "ideal" LUFT (14, 12, 10, 9, 5...) or the one requested by the respective platforms? Or does OZONE decide? Thanks in advance and excuse my English. Greetings!

    • @brentpearcejr
      @brentpearcejr 3 місяці тому +1

      probably because their isnt a generic "ideal" LUFS. It varies from genre to genre and from track to track. Definitely dont hold the platforms LUFS as the gold standard, most music is mastered no where near that.

    I have Ozone 10 advanced for years and just recently upgraded to Ozone 11 advanced. Put both side by side on 3 different songs I was working on and always fell back to Ozone 10, for whatever reason, Ozone 11 made the masters sound "harsh" and brittle with what felt like some nasty underlying distortion. Both 10 and 11 were mastered to the LUFS-I.

    • @djcontour
      @djcontour 5 місяців тому +2

      The reason for this is because in some cases, the mastering engineer only gets a “2 track” export. They may not have the stems or project files. So music rebalance gives mastering engineers the ability to make tweaks even though they only have a single wav file. Changing in the mixing phase is always the best option, but not always possible.

      While we know that many people have grown to love and rely on this app, the usage analytics showed that only 3% of Ozone users were using the standalone application. Meanwhile, adding new features and maintaining existing code in both the standalone app and Ozone plugins proved to be a large burden slowing down our development teams.

    Everytime run the smart assistant, the dynamic EQ oicks those same two freq that it draws down and then it puts a shelf up high. Every single time. So if that is to allow the maximizer to work more efficiently and it dies it every single time anyway, why not build that into the maximizer and have that as a controllable feature? It seams odd to have that as a default setting that AI ways applies to one module that helps another module? Maybe just buold it in to Maximizer so the dynamic Eq can be used for your music and not a different modules efficiency.

    Never used Ozone had no idea it was not its own program guess its assumed to know this before attempting to instal 10 times in a 2 day period as YOU will not see an icon to open or even basic heads up that thier plugins to be accessed thru a daw. This would be great for a beginers guide or even ads or hell inside the install as it just says finish and nothing happens all the folders are empty and there is no way to start it up. Well now after a few days of trying to figure out what i did wrong,, I did nothing wrong but be daft of never hearing of Ozone til now or any understanding that their addons as feel IZO has a few negative marks against them now that my time was wasted, due to lack of instructions and over kill of previous install tutorial that led me to believe it was going to be way more complicated.

    This doesn’t seem like a great example of mastering - the mastered track is very trebly and a bit tinny. After hearing the original I was expecting the master to have dealt with the excessive brightness and added some warmth, but instead it became more bright and harsh, whilst obviously also louder and punchier. I’m left quite confused by mastering videos - most of the time it’s difficult to hear any difference coz the changes are so subtle, but this is the complete opposite

    • @vektacular
      @vektacular 5 місяців тому +2

      I too was expecting more clarity in the master….but it’s as if the vocals remained buried in the mix and the rest of the track got bright ….almost irritatingly….none the less it was definitely a more polished feel.

    The song sounds distorted before any processing. Maybe that wasn't the best choice for this demonstration.

      The waveform at 1:26 looks fine and I don't hear the distortion. Timestamp?

      I’ve gotten good results w Ozone before-the presenter is great, but this was truly a bad example.

      I have a lot of fantastic plugins in addition to ozone 11. Would you add things like smooth2, a shadow hills, etc - things pros use - to add richer harmonics or will that cause more problems? Can you achieve harmonic analog richness with just Ozone? I’m on the fence! Thanks.

    It is all relative and personal: to me the master has too much volume and HF.

    Hmmm….im not sure that I wouldn’t just run into the exact same problems with no solution all over again working in Ozone….its basically just another multi-band processing thing with a limiter that raises the mid band when you adjust the clarity up. You’re basically doing what I do except in ozone instead of another device. Yeah, I don’t think this is the answer for me. I’m glad you did this video though. I find the best result I’ve achieved so far is by using SELECTIVE band compression rather than multi-band compression…..I mean….it does sound great but definitely something like the TOMO Lisa compressor almost gives more control in selected areas.

      Totally agree. The best thing in O11 I found so far is dealing with reference tracks and comparing their frequency graphs. Maaaaaaybe the clarity module is a gooddie as well if used carefully. The rest? I have my preferred tools for those tasks.

      @ Weiss DS1 MK3, then I will use another mastering EQ, either Amek or SPL, then something like the TBTech Kirchhoff even….and the BX digital V3 ….literally using all of them….4-5 EQ’s on the mixbus one for subtraction only and 2 for selective band compression maybe 3…and then I use a VARY MU compressor usually with a saturator and the new Kiive audio Nfuse for stereo spread and space but only the SSL version which gets me to about -5 LUFS with zero distortion. It’s the only way I’ve been able to reach that loudness consistently is to use all those tools almost every time.

    Less catch phrases and more math and algorithm detail please. I'd love to know what the modules are actually doing, using the actual science. The plug-ins, module names and GUI's have gotten so vague with Izotope products that I have a sticky note on my console with my own descriptors for them. If the goal here is to help people learn about the physics of a good mix, and how humans perceive sound, that change would be incredibly useful. Also keep in mind that you are attempting to illustrate examples through the filter of whatever youtube audio algorithms exist and how theyalter the sound of the video, which then passes through someone's speakers or headphones. Everything is relational.

    If the mix "wasn't bang on" then it should be nowhere near then mastering stage. Mastering should be purely about optimising levels and any slight EQ issues for the cut or streaming and NOT remixing levels pan etc. Sorry but Mix and mastering engineers are two separate skill sets and jobs.

      Welcome to the real world, where sometimes mastering engineers have to work with what they're given, even if the mix sucks.

    The AI tool always sounds terrible, it's much better to try out different presets to build your own chain of plugins.
