iZotope Ozone 4. When, where and how much?
iZotope Ozone 4. When, where and how much? Posted on: 18.11.2012 by Juanita Mordente When do you use the iZotope Ozone plugin? While you are engineering a track or when you've completed it? Do you usually throw it on the master channel? What preset do you use and what loudness amplitude?Sorry for all the questions. Been using this for a while but curious to see if I'm doing it wrong. A friend told me I should never have it on my master WHILE producing cause it messes you up. | |

| Linda Chavda 20.11.2012 | Oh, stay away from presets too and actually learnt to program it yourself. Isn't too hard to get a basic knowledge of the program ;-) |
| Juanita Mordente 20.11.2012 | Solid responses. Thank you. So it's true. The only time I use Ozone has to be after I do mixdown and export. I used to have it on my master all the time even while I'm producing the record. Guess it was a big mistake, huh. Will take it off. |
| Berta Baie 19.11.2012 | yeah you can use it on individual tracks, but it's very CPU intensive so i would recommend using it sparingly. I normally only use it for the stereo widening effect if im using it for individual tracks. |
| Frieda Swoboda 18.11.2012 | You can use it on individual tracks if you want the EQ or other tools. But you don't master each track. For actually mastering, you want to do a mixdown, which is adjusting all the levels. Then bounce that out to a single stereo file, bring that file into a new project, then put Ozone on the master. If you find there are things you can't fix or things change after the master, you can go back and do a new mixdown. But generally you want to separate the two. So basically, mixdown all your tracks so the levels are perfect. Then bounce the completed track out to a new WAV file, and master that file by itself with Ozone. I use Ozone 5, so not sure what 4 is like, but I assume it all works the same. |
