This is what separates Izotope from Waves. Waves is just all adverts and promos while Izotope gives you the real sauce!
Came for mastering tips, left with life advice. ❤️
Were you able to achieve the results you wanted?
Watch well there are many good infos
I’m green to mastering but after this video I now know which plugin to use for mastering
Lol. So true
Just throw a Camelcrusher on the master bus and upload it to Soundcloud
nice one
Noob mastering 101 🔥😂
That's the name of the game right there!
Dont forget OTT as well
Nah bro i put Fruity Soft Clipper and thats it lol
13:08 Did a mastering tutorial just inadvertently give the best life advice?
what??
@@moore864 he's implying that a life lesson was given inside this video about mastering.
9:04 as well. This video is deep :o
I never noticed those two points at those timestamps. Thanks Izotope lol. The audio world is not short of insecurity so that's pretty cool lol
Use your ears and don't doubt yourself. Love that!
Finally a video about mastering in which the audio is mixed perfectly correspondingly to the content.
😂
This video has absolutely excellent audio for the narration to be heard. Too many name brand demos and tutorials in this music/audio realm simply do not demonstrate this care.
This.. was really high quality content. I am legitimately impressed. Not only in the meat of what is being discussed but editing, graphics, VO etc. Really well done.
this has to be one of the best ads for their products too, well done
Four sound goodizers. That's all you'll ever need.
sosig fatnrr
Eurotool people keep joking ab putting sausage fattener but it’s actually useful on the master
I think you joking . If you make sound distorted Ohmicide for your troll buddy
Xelerator me?
I like these videos because they feel like genuine tutorials and not like they're just trying to sell you something.
Mix engineers need more praise than they get! I’ve been doing music for 13yrs and this video still makes my head hurt not because of complexity but because technology complicates simple formalities
The Judge & Juror it was more complex before izotope to be honest, most plugins mimic anologue hardware rather than presenting themselves in the simplest way overcomplicating things. Example Neutrons visual mixer vs nobs and faders of yesteryear.
Gotta say I was expecting kind of an advertisement. Instead I got amazing information. Thank you!
Oh man, I'm so gonna have to get this now!! Awesome job with putting this video together!!
I've been mixing for years. Just in recent realization, mastering skills were missing in my life. Thank you Izotope
Love from Japan. Thx iZotope!!!
This is Freakin unreal how futuristic this is‼️
This video is incredibly well done, thank you.
Thanks for the insightful information. I currently have Ozone 8 but I like the upgrades you guys added in the newer version. 🔥🔥🔥
Thank you so much for this wonderful post. Keep them coming
He explains it so well that I don't mind the corny track they play at the end. Good job!
If you take the mixing and mastering skills in observe, you will learn to apreciate the song regardless of the genre. I mean , at least for me, it feels so good when a good mixed song enters your ears , like a blanket . And you can tell elements in it
@@yurianvise1672 that's the same I'm thinking
@@fsands69 I love you mister parrot
You can literally take any song that exists and take the mix/master from it and apply it to your own unmixed/unmastered song ........ That's absolutely insane. Seriously mind blowing.
I just love iZotope's music production suite! Will eventually save up and buy the reverb set too and upgrade my current current music production suite too!
Thank you thank you thank you thank you. This video is so precise and accurate with each and every piece of information provided here. I can tell it was well thought out to the smallest details. 👌🏼🙏🏼👌🏼
The high quality production of this video really sets you guys apart.
This is very probably the best tutorial I have ever seen. Thank you. Now more, please!
This video is so well produced on every level. Well done.
Awesome advice and overview. iZotope plugins...the depth is incredible. From simple to full on geek mode, it's all there. TBC2 is always on my mix bus. Kudos again to Iz.
So much useful information. Thank you very much! Will definitely check out other videos/guides.
just the video i needed right now!
Shouldn't have been any dislikes to this video at all. This was very informative and very helpful.
Thanks for another great and insightful video iZotope. 👍
This was great! I’m going to share this video with friends in my Facebook!
Good on iZotope for mentioning loudness normalization standards! Thank you! I wish all the squashed, brickwalled prog metal I used to listen to from the late 90s to 2000s had producers with these modern changes in attitudes towards loudness and mastering. Also, so many remasters of other classic albums have been ruined by brickwalling when the music never called for it in the first place. Hopefully one day they "get with the program" and correct their mistakes.
Very powerful video, i enjoyed watching this session. Thanks guys.🙏

Ahahahah
iZotope vs Apple in a cage match. Who would win?

@@nonami_066xswqoqowiwl Ok. Let me call Tim Cook and see if he's ready
immediately scrolled down after seeing this in the video. comments did not disappoint with this one at 3rd place.
Cook is on the phone to China, please hold.
So helpful. I have Ozone and I'm so excited to dive into it!
Thank you for all video!
Thank you so much. This helps me a lot.
I found a preset called "Trap Drums" And "Trap" in maschine on Ozone 9 and it beats any of my mastering chains almost everytime. We live in amazing times and what matters is the final sound and feel. If I can get that in seconds with Ozone then I am very happy and will continue to support. One thing that would be great as far as referencing, would be to have a smaller floatable button that you can press to hear the reference without going to master channel and opening ozone to press the reference button.
Where is the preset in Ozone 9 ?
this is gold, thanks so much
Halfway through I realized it was Geoff Manchester! I could listen to that guy for hours
Thanks! This is awesome.
That was well done thank you!
Thank you izotope, I learned a alot with this video.
Definitely a great video. Excited to master after watching this!
This is very good + life advice , love
Best tutorial. Thanks!

Priceless information, thanks you so much
Wow this video is remarkably full of actual good advice!
A brilliant tutorial for an outstanding product - thanks for sharing!! 😄
izotope you guys make the best videos. keep it up
Great tutorial! Solid mastering tips.
Awesome video.. awesome content and info..A big thanks to you all..
I didn't even know u could do half the things u showed!!! bless u izo
what?????? an actually instructional video??? thank you so much!
Great video, thank you!!
this was really useful, izotope ozone is such a help for mastering
I discovered the learning resources that Izotope provides for mixing and mastering before I discovered their plugins as I was mixing my own material. I wanted to be as objective as allowable by educating myself and they converted me into a supporter of their products in the process. Like other people here have said, you can hire a mastering engineer and in many cases you should, but I feel this is targeted for those who want to learn the skill of mastering which is a lifelong process. The video was quick which can give you the impression that these things are quick to learn. These skills take years to learn! After many, many different songs! The beauty of Izotope and their products is they put complex subjects into a digestable format. But you still have to analyze, assess and apply as deemed necessary/appropriate. It would also serve you well to have a basic understanding of the fundamentals of acoustics/sound.
that's actually a pretty decent summary
izotope thank you for this video !
Thanks a lot ❤️
Great video. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
you know how some companies who manufacture plugins bring someone from the office to do these kind of videos??... im really glad they did the opposite and brought someone who can actually make content, knows how to talk, and has a some what soothing voice
Amazing video!
Fantastic class!!
excellent video and tips thank you
soooooooo good - Izotope are always enpointe
its help me much as a beginer, thank u
This video has such a nice aesthetic to it
Very helpful !! Thank you so much !
Very helpful, thanks alot for sharing this knowledge
I love isotope programs I'm a huge fan thank you for this video
This is super quality content
9:56 "your worst pair of earbuds" ...so true thank you !
Fantastic video by a fantastic company!
great video editing and presentation!
I saved up for about a year and a bit and I invested in some Izotope tools. This might sound over exaggerated, but if I have a choice between having my car stolen or losing my Izotope tools.... Take my car lol!! I think Izotope should develop a full D.A.W.... It will by far be the best.
awesome thank you
Does God work at IZotope or what??Your plugins are insane!!!Amazing
great tutorial video!
Great video.
This izotope is very helpfull and usefull for mastering a track.. 👍👍👍
Great video!
Good stuff💯
EXCELLENT !!😁🤟
Ozone changed my life
Izotope is amazing.
I got ozone 9 elements whilst it was free. No longer have to worry about how low logic makes a track bounced pre master 💪🏾🎧🎹
Timely!!!
very useful!
Wonderful video. I understood everything.
and I didn't get anything :/ need to rewatch 3-4 times. I'm new to these
@@AE-wk1dn spend more time with it. Its fun
Huge fan of Izotope products. Huge! I don't want to imagine not having them. In fact, I've got almost all their major plugins. The one thing, that I feel, Ozone is missing, is what Plugin Alliance's Metric AB does..and that is sectional comparison. The one problem with automated AI mastering, is that it uses one static setting for the whole song. You have to automate for different sections. That is where I find Metric AB shines. It let's me check each section against different songs. I then use different instances of Ozone to cross fade between the sections. Usually, I only need two instances. One for the hook and one for the rest. Definitely don't do this on the same track you're mixing because you'll run out of CPU quickly. Do this on a mixdown bounce. I think these guys tend to forget to mention this because they do it so much, that they assume we're all doing that. I find that a lot of noobs master the same arrangement they're mixing. No no. At least bounce it down to stems if you still want to make mixing decisions, but ideally you want to mix it down to a single stereo track. This is all subjective. I just thought the comments of using those sample crushing compressors like Camel Crusher and Sausage Fattener were funny. I mean... work with what you have . No shame in that. Heck...if that was all I had...no one else would know, right?! Peace.
Reference 2 is the cheaper alternative
Beautiful
Very helpful! Still got so much to learn though..
3:13 - looks like someone's been listening to some Dear Hunter! Excellent taste :D
Wait WAIT!!! did you just give really good advice about loudness levels etc.? I can't believe it! honestly I thought Izotope and all the big corporations would push the louder is better agenda....but you seem to be actually concerned about the quality of the recording - this is a pleasant surprise xx
The loudness war is over man, thanks to the streaming platforms
@@milhouse777 Well, their loudness suggestions are way below the industry standard loudness. Even with the normalization a louder track will sound louder.
If it was 3-4 years ago, maybe they would have.
You obviously know nothing about Izotope and their awesome products! 🤔🤘🤘
@@GuitarFin1 A brighter track sound louder
Thanks iZotope, ;-)
Nice!
I will buy iZotope next week because of Ozone 9 ❤️
Thank you so much..! =)
