Just purchased Ozone in the last days... i know it's a great weapon but power is nothing without control. So thank you very much, for giving a quick and so on the point overview! All love!
I really prefer the Mastering Assistant in Ozone 9. I found that, for me, MA in O9 simply balances the frequency and sets the limiter where you tell it to (low, mid, or high intensity). But O10 throws all the new modules into it and is more like a HYPE Assistant. Especially if you keep the Impact module on. Just sounds harsh and crunchy to me. I compared the same song in both O9 and O10 mastering assistants and found that if I turn off Impact and Imager then it's very close to what O9 suggests...but not exact. The EQ curves are similar, but the EQ curve in O10 is taking into account the fact that Stabilizer is also doing some work. I don't know...I liked using the MA in O9 to give me a good frequency balance, and then I would finalize that with a Pink Noise setting in the Match EQ before going into the limiter, where I would set the level myself. I feel like O10 MA is just over-cooking too much and that's dangerous because then a lot of people will start releasing music online using this. We don't need MORE hype, rather we need LESS in our masters. I wish they somehow incorporated a Legacy option in the O10 MA. Thankfully I can still use O9.
Also prefer using the interface stand-alone and not having to use it as a plug-in within a DAW. Also, anyone else think the track he's using in this vid has too much saturation on it to begin with? Literally everything is distorting
@wtfaulkner yep sounds like someone went heavy on a tape saturator. Doesn't do much for the track imo, and there's nothing to be done about it at the mastering stage 🤷🏻♂️ rolling off the bottom end did help a lot
Thinking of Impact as a 4 band graphic EQ has revolutionised my usage of it. Makes so much sense. I also generally find stabiliser better when cutting. Great video
Maybe I'm missing something, it appears the Streaky Starter won't load in Ozone 11. Preset formats moved from .xml to .aupreset in the new version. And changing the handler doesn't do the trick.
Finally!! A full length video again! Thanks matey 😎 - more of this please (even though iirc Shorts provide for ad revenue and algorithmic exposure on RUclips atm)
Hi streaky I see you used 0.1db ceiling on maximizer/limiter , do you still use the -1.0db on the fader of record track for streaming distribution ? I remember saw that on one of your previous videos.
Good walkthrough. Nice to see your process with the updated and new modules. Yeah, I initially it was crushing the low end with limiter distortion until you mentioned the track itself is quite smashed. Thanks for the vid.
Hi Streaky. Awesome Video Idea: Fundamentals and how to affect them and why everything falls in place when starting at the fundamentals and going up to the harmonics later on. Please also discuss dependencies between frequency ranges
Streaky bro, if u see this u have genuinely helped me so much with this video. My master kept coming out really nice on everything except earphones where the vocals were super loud and the bass was quiet. Just spent a while going thru this video and brooo u have sorted me out I was gunna give up and just send him the master that sounded quiet on earphones but this one’s perfect!!! Thank u bro I’ll defo be checking out ur content more
Hey Streaky, excelente conteúdo amigo, obrigado. Consegui aprender um pouco mais sobre o Maximizer, algo que eu não entendia muito bem como funcionava. Vou fazer o download do seu preset para testar aqui. Obrigado pela dica!!!
Thanks Streaky. I was thinking of buying this mastering software, but I didn't realize how Nerdy it was to use. Your demonstration has given me second thoughts about purchasing it. As a singer-songwriter and a person on a limited budget, I am always looking for software that is affordable and easy to use. I am sure I could master this Mastering software, but I think I will look around more before deciding to purchase this software. There are a lot of these Mastering software programs out there. In the past I have used a combination of Protools plugins and then Audacity's free software to "master" my songs.
@@squattermelon. I installed the Trial version and yes, it was pretty easy to use. And it is intuitive. And like you said a bit expensive; $249 for the Standard version and 400 + dollars for the Advanced. I will start saving some money up.
THanks for the video! : ) Just curious, at about 23.15, why is the rms meter in ozone showing 4-7 when your other meter shows around 8? Is the latter more doing an average kind of metering?
people that hate on this dont understand the fact that ozone's A.I is only a tool and should be used as a reference and then make a few mods to where you need it fit always still trust your ear first if your room is treated as well as do all tests to check your mix... a.i is meant to help us not take over...
14:07 I've heard a lot of people saying that I should have a -1db ceiling when mastering for streaming platforms to prevent distortion and stuff. Im curious, why did you put the ceiling at -0.1? 🤔
Nice video and explanation. However I would not say that any type of mastering preset will get the song 80% mastered because every mix is different and might need different mastering approach if one wants to get the best possible result (which might not be the aim of many people).
The original file (mix) sound distorted and a too much bit crunchy. I as always say, if garbage sound in garbage sound out. Mastering cant' solve or improve a bad sound or/in a bad mix , ony can make up. This video show clearly this.
Hi man, nice tutorial! I have an issue with stabilizer: in an extended mix of melodic techno song I hear artifacts that ruin the initial kick in the song, despite I do automatic mastering setting by AI of Ozone. Second thing: is possible choose singles module on Ozone and use a AI automatic settings each module? Thank you advance!!
Thank you for this tutorial on Ozone. I have the following question. Is it better to use Ozone on the finished mixed down master track like in your example or in the main bus when mixing your tracks? Thanks.
Hi streaky just subscribed would you use only ozone for mastering or Fabfilter EQs as well don’t no one which to pick up or both? many thanks looking forward to your videos.
Hey Streaky!! Great video!!! I gotta question about using the TC meter to monitor the LUFS. I’m feeding it from my focusrite.. controled by the monitor knob, do I put it at max volume into the meter? Sometimes , alotta times it peaks!! How do I get a full signal into the meter? (Going in Thru the RCA adapter) 🙏🏾 thank you for your content!!! @streaky
Not sure if it's the sustain of the kick or the snare, but that distortion is annoying. Impact module is good, but i still prefer the Newfangled Elevate , more musical.
Is there any in depth video on true peaking?? I've always thought that the -1 dB "Rule" kinda kills my mix but I'm curious if I set the true peak to like -0.2 is it going to distort on streaming platforms or something??
Just do it. It's fine. If professional mastering engineers have 0.1 as a ceiling WITHOUT truePeak limiting, you can have 0.2 as a ceiling and don't have to worry (especially if you decide to use truePeak limiting instead of conventional limiting)
He’s as bad as the rest on one hand they help you and on the other they confuse you, it’s all done on purpose. Take it all with a pinch of salt. If these guys were that good they would not be working on youtube. End of.
Stupid question. Which is better - to mix down a track and then import the audio file into a new session with Ozone on the master. Or just have Ozone on the master in the mix so you can live adjust the mix. The latter seems more flexible?
Export so your brain goes into mastering mode you can always go back and bounce another mix if you really need to…but try and be disciplined to finish the mix and move to the next step
Widening the top end sounds a bit confusing to me. It's messing with the definition of the transients. I prefer to leave the top end untouched and natural Edit: I depends on the mix of course. If there are lots of drums and percs in the track then i don´t like to widen it.
The Stereo width or Anti-phase processing is smearing the imaging of the sounds in the top end and mid-range, because the crossover frequency is too low. Sub content below 85 cycles and top end frequency content above 15kHz, doesn’t have any localisation cues in the 3-D sound field. They form a cloud above our head and below our feet from a psycho acoustic imaging standpoint. Adding stereo imaging processing above 15kHz, will add openness and width. However, adding anti-phase information to mid range and low mid frequency content, will smear the imaging of the instruments in the 3-D sound field. One of the biggest problems with mastering engineers, is a lot of them are not traditionally trained in mixing. Which is the foundation upon correct mastering processing… If you don’t understand mixing and placing instruments in the 3-D sound field, then you are pretty stuffed when understanding and solidifying the imaging of instruments in mastering.
Thank You! Interested in your Teaching but i'm not even sure how to dl the preset for Windows. I can only copy the name??? Why so difficult for one small file? Sorry.
Good stuff, thanks for sharing! Curious to know why not to enable the true peak from the maximizer, are’t the peaks shooting over the zero possible causing problems later?
for me, true peak limiting sounds pretty bad most of the times. And if you do a research, you won't find any chart track taking care about overs. Some of them hitting +4dB and more true peaks without any problems, even on streaming devices. For me true peak limiting is a myth from past, when cheap DA converters were not as good as they are today. @streaky what's your point on this ?

Can I just ask, why did you use a low shelf rather than a high pass with a tighter (24 db) slope?
The original file (mix) sound distorted and a too much bit crunchy.
I as always say, if garbage sound in garbage sound out.
Mastering cant' solve or improve a bad sound or/in a bad mix , ony can make up.

Great video, fun song, wanna listen the entire track
Love you man🔥
thanks for the cool video.
one question please: is there a particular reason why you put the imager at the beginning of the chain?
Why do you prefer to use RMS for mastering rather than LUFS?

Nice one. Felt quite the same. I wish there Dyn Eq module could copie easily L to R
I mean when unlink L R, its the way I like it most of the time with Dynamic stuff
Nice demo! Would love to see some gear review again! Getting into buying some kinda starter analog kit 😂
there is no way back when u go to the hard-side :)
Hello sir, if I’m using a compressor in this chain should I put it before or after the imager ? Thanks in advance for your assistance 🙏🏿
VU for the comfort zone!
once you put the limiter on it was apperent the airy and open boost
nice vid, thank you
Thank you!
Just found you legendary
Are the tracks set at -6db before you go into ozone and meter?
And also a way to fuck your mix up if over cooked.
I'd love to see how you'd master a track with FL Studio stock plugins like Maximus
Hi streaky just subscribed would you use only ozone for mastering or Fabfilter EQs as well don’t no one which to pick up or both? many thanks looking forward to your videos.
your preset is an xml file? How am I supposed to integrate that? Thanks a lot!
Great vid. When do you use low shelf rather than a HPF? Heard Jonathan Wyner talk about this also
I believe some mastering engineers say it messes with the phase less.
@@OverdriveMusic yes that’s what i heard. Be interested to hear when Streaky decides to use a shelf rather than a HPF tho

Who's Rosh can anyone please tell me the name of this track they were using for this video pleaseeeee

Can this application process be applied to House/Techno/Electronic/EDM music?
I have downloaded ozione via native instrument. When I open it in cubase it doesn't work. what could be the reason?
Great video 👌🏿 what do you think about the AI mastering feature?
does tabilizer only come with certain ozones I have ozone ten doesetn seem to have it but it does have dynamic eq
And what about the priset who has Windows?
Which version of Ozone are you using for this demo? Elements, standard, or Advanced?
Isnt the Ultra Fast Release on the Limiter add alot of '' Saturation '' ?
Would have been great if you could have done this with a less distorted mix...
I just downloaded the preset, It shows the imager before the Eq. This EQ with a high pass filter generally should be first. Anyway, thanks so much!
