Don't regret the purchase at all. So much better out of the gate in terms of giving you a great starting position. Actually getting used to not having the standalone but would love that to come back with more features like in track automation...but glad I started learning project page in studio one.
I gotta say that now that I've played with Oz11 a bit more it has helped tremendously to bring life to old mixes that were recorded with sub-par gear and it was night and day difference. I think using the stems in any module plus the sustain/transient plus Clarity modules have also helped a lot in that regard. The only thing that needs mentioning is that if you want to work on stems separately you have to open another instance of Oz11 in your DAW. Nobody has mentioned that yet...
I recently purchased this Ozone 11 update and I'm very happy with the results thank you Sean for making these videos. What is the optimal True Peak setting for streaming ? Can you go below 1 ?
Yes...mono transients on especially the bass. Nicely done on this vid. I have this softyware...upward compress is tremendously accurate...my productions are more vocal oriented...Country, pop..with a LOT of dynamic range, especially on verse one, and maybe a breakdown chorus...this feature is a blessing, so as not to over-compress or limit.
Interesting to think that as far as mastering is concerned, you can do things with this software that you can't begin to dream of doing with the most expensive outboard hardware. I hope people working as mastering engineers have a good plan B.
@@ReginaldReggSmith They might. But, it's a tool designed to let people do it themselves, without needing to go to a professional. Kind of like the way music copying software eliminated the need for composers to hire specialized music engravers that etched the music into plates. And actually, mastering engineers with big racks of expensive gear would probably tend to want to avoid using something like Ozone 11 in front of clients. You'd want to preserve the idea that the big rack of hardware was better in some way, and that you're offering something that can't be done with Ozone 11.
@@LeeBlaske agreed, it makes the mastering process so much more accessible to everyone. It's invaluable for both professionals and bedroom engineers alike. I openly use Ozone for client mastering sessions in tandem with other plugins and analog hardware that I find sonically unique / helpful in my workflow. It's not ultimately about the tools you use, just how you use them :)
great vid can you say something about the 103 you use in the video? im about to upgrade but im not sure if its good for deeper voices hope you have a great day Sean thx for the videos
It's a polarizing mic... I personally like it on certain voices when processed properly. It's VERY hyped in both the low end and the high end. That makes it very detailed and upfront in the mix BUT it needs processing to get good results on most voices. I EQ and do light de-essing on the way in. This video goes into more detail on that - ruclips.net/video/HVcvvrNO9a8/видео.htmlfeature=shared
If I want to make adjustments to the vocal and drums separately with the stem process, then to the whole music, do I need to open 3 instance of Ozone plugin in the chain? This is not possible with one instance of Ozone plugin at the moment. What is the workflow?
Hi Sean great video on the Ozone 11 it's on my list of plugins to get. So I notice you have the Adams A8H's what made you which to those and if you don't mind doing a quick review on them?
your dope man. love your music and your style of mixing. where can i send you tracks to mix? let me know how much for a solid mix and I will be there man.
Definately ive just compared 9 10 and 11 this morning, huge difference to my ears especially the ai assistant it seems to do a much better job from the get go
Depends on the sample - you might need to EQ it differently to get more out of it or you could also use a limiter on the sample itself BEFORE limiting the master to keep things in check.
This tutorial is much better than the official iZotope channel videos. I wasn't going to bother with Ozone 11, but after seeing this, I see some value of it. I just have a problem with everybody calling the new versions "AI". It's a big turnoff to me.
Glad it was helpful! I agree that I'm not crazy on the idea of AI that claims to do all the work for you... especially in the creative space. IMO, this is very much facilitative AI - It saves a ton of time, eliminates technical guesswork but still empowers you creatively to make the final decisions. That kind of AI, I'm all for.
Hi? Thanks for the video, first of all. It's very helpful. I want to ask a question which may sound stupid but... I'm sorry but I need to. Would it make sense to use an Ozone for the whole track and then a second one to work on the bass, for example, as you/he did in the video or is this stupid? A complete rookie here as you can see. 😅 Thanks for your help!!
I use the Portico (it's the channel not the MBP) for input processing. The Fusion is usually on my stereo bus in Logic (I/O plugin), inserted before Ozone.
Very good video and great plugin. Can full mix and stem processing happen in the same ozone 11 instance at the same time? Lets say I first want to eq the vocals, then the drums, and finally the full mix, is this possible?
I like my masters done by a certified mastering engineer. Ozone is cool for my quick masters to test out my mixes before I send them out for official masters.
This stuff is getting krazy, Ozone 20 going to turn into a full Daw where you can add track audio and add midi tracks as well as remixing mixing all your tracks after you’re done with your first mix lol.
yeah, you're right, they're always trying to release new features, but for me personally the development is going a little too quickly. I'm still trying to come to terms with Ozone 10 and I've noticed that my masters sound better if I only use a part of the tools they suggest me, otherwise it is just be too much processing for my taste and I also like to combine it with stuff outside from ozone like a ssl bus compressor and a fabfilter pro l2 at the end of all.
I feel I got ripped off with Ozone 10. Most of the stuff here seems to be something you can do in the mix before mastering, so I will probably hold off until Ozone 12.
Nothing special about the plugin. There's no chance that it will fix your mixes or do anything fabulous about mastering. Izotope's target are the bedrooms producers that think that thier mixex will improve just by downloading Ozone. No it will not. 11? what's the improvement compared to 10 ...? And the thing that NI just took over Izotope. The company that can even make thier own downloading assistent to work. please. Guys, Gals. Don't get fooled, just focus on the process, there's plenty of good plugins and emulations out there. Consistency is the key, don't ever think that one plugin will fix all mix problems. Peace. Nothin against You Sean, loves and kisses :)
The AI function is the only thing I don't use. It's really bad imo. It ruins my mix totally. I use the "normal" part of Izotope a lot. Especially the maximizer and exciter. But very subtile.
Just think about this for a moment. The AI thinks the HipHop song is a fucking Folk song. I mean, really. You expect it to make detailed audio decisions when it can't even get THAT right. FFS. What utter fucking bollocks.

Wow I thought the snare was distorting but it was just the original sound🤣 snap crackle!
lol yeah, that one was intentional 😁
the smile you did when you engaged the full mix @ 14:00 - 14:09 😎💯
😁🙌
nice overview, Sean - thanks!
Also: really feeling that folk song - sweet:)
Thanks! 🤣
I was never a fan of Ozone but now it replaced my standard master chain.Tried it on finished tracks and it sounded already better with a few steps.
Ozone 11 is dope, but man that song is great! The hook and instrumental have a very nostalgic vibe to it, keep up the good work Sean!
Appreciate the kind words! 🙏
Ya The Song is Dope!
Terrific Video tutorial/intro. Awesome lyric..that song represents the promise of an alternative hip hop message. Well done all the way around.
Much appreciated!
Your mixes are always good.
Appreciate that!
12:21 aweeeesome 🔥
This is surprisingly good for AI Mastering
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 and dope song brother 🙏🏽 my teacher
very good, Extremely interesting your video about this new version of izotope, clarified a lot of things for me!!
I like that your rapping about God i can appreciate it
this man has nothing left to prove, the best teacher and mentor you can have at your side... to understand how music works in its entirety
Gone for a minute goes hard sean!
Thanks Ken!
This plugin is kind of Magic 🎶✨️👌
I recently purchased this Ozone 11 update and I'm very happy with the results thank you Sean for making these videos. What is the optimal True Peak setting for streaming ? Can you go below 1 ?
I’d aim for -1 TP in most cases. You can push it further but be very careful :)
ok thanks again@@SeanDivine
The clarity module alone is worth the price of admission
I would be curious to see you trying the new nectar 4 advance
I'll definitely check it out
Great video, Sean! 🔥🔥🔥 dope song too
Appreciate it Bill! iZotope nailed it again 👏
wow this new update looks fantastic
Digging it, for sure!

Sean you're the F__ King bro! Always looking out for everyone!
I GOT THE OZONE 10. IS IT WORTH THE UPGRADE?
Great video!
Awesome video as always 👏
🙏
im happy with Ozone 10.
Great plugin, but u working with a great track with a solid mix.
Id love to see this with bad mix 😅
Thanks much, SD. I will check it out.
Sure thing, have fun!
Interesting to think that as far as mastering is concerned, you can do things with this software that you can't begin to dream of doing with the most expensive outboard hardware. I hope people working as mastering engineers have a good plan B.

Wouldn’t they just utilize this as well? Whether it’s hardware or software it’s all a tool?

Great song, it's a pleasure to listen to your song whilst you are showcasing ozone 11, phantastic work
Thank you!
Thanks for this video bro!
what a good track! Unfortunately, Sean Devine is still completely underrated
I like that song sounds good 👍🏼
Thanks!
16:25 yes b/c mastering is an achilles heel after hours of creating recording and mixing
Some great lyrics Sean.
Thanks Freddie
great vid
can you say something about the 103 you use in the video?
im about to upgrade but im not sure if its good for deeper voices

When do this song come out? Great video btw
Thanks! It's out - link in description
can you do a new mastering video with wave plugins ?
I Agree, exactly what I wanted to ask .-)
stay tuned 😉
@@SeanDivine thanks bro, we know you are a busy person but a month is to long bro 🤣😂
they finally need some new limiters and soft clippers from waves in my oppinion, to reach a modern and decent master.
Great video! There's a crackly noise that's intentionally part of the rap song (I'm sure), but it sounds like clipping.
Thanks! Yep, it’s the snare. Very intentional processing of the sample :)
Are you using it on each individual track or on the final master track???
Do you add it to the track or do you add it to the master bus?
Master bus
If I want to make adjustments to the vocal and drums separately with the stem process, then to the whole music, do I need to open 3 instance of Ozone plugin in the chain? This is not possible with one instance of Ozone plugin at the moment. What is the workflow?
Yes, you'd use three instances of Ozone to do this 👍
@@billpodolak7754 Wow! It’s a bit strange workflow for Ozone 🙃 Why didn’t they embed this feature in a “tab style” workflow with only one plugin?
@@ahmetbaykara.mp3 yeah agreed it's a bit strange. It's not that difficult to add multiple instances though
Would you say the Master Assistent is way better than in ozone 10?
In my opinion, yes. The results have been closer to a finished master. The assistant dashboard is much faster and easier to dial in also.
@@SeanDivine very nice. I will download it when it is available
Hey Sean, been a while. Hope you been doing well!
THANK FK this is NEXT LEVEL ! I WAS STUCK ON LAST LEVEL
Only problem I hear is that it sounds like it’s “stereoizing” everything a lot. Is that what a final master should sound like instead of centered ?
The final master should have exciting width but still be "anchored" in the middle. It's a balance :)
@@SeanDivine appreciate that bro I been watching you for YEARS and always learned a lot. Can I send you a mix /master and get some input ?
Sure thing
@@SeanDivine sent to your info mail
dope tip
Is Ozone good for making vocals, without any music, sound good? Like for voiceovers?
Yes, a lot of the modules work great for voiceover. I use the Maximizer and more recently now the Clarity module.
@@SeanDivine, Thanks.
Philip J. Fry moment: "Shut up and take my money!!!"
Great video. I will upgrade from Ozone9
Hi Sean great video on the Ozone 11 it's on my list of plugins to get. So I notice you have the Adams A8H's what made you which to those and if you don't mind doing a quick review on them?
your dope man. love your music and your style of mixing. where can i send you tracks to mix? let me know how much for a solid mix and I will be there man.
Appreciate that man! seandivine.com/mixing-and-mastering
MUITO BOM...
Nice lyrics!
Would i notice a sound difference between ozone 9 advanced and ozone 11 advanced?
Definately ive just compared 9 10 and 11 this morning, huge difference to my ears especially the ai assistant it seems to do a much better job from the get go
Hey I was wondering how to about fixing a sample that starts to distort every time I turn the gain up within the master using a limiter.
Depends on the sample - you might need to EQ it differently to get more out of it or you could also use a limiter on the sample itself BEFORE limiting the master to keep things in check.

Heh! Technical guesswork is part of the fun and honing skill. Maybe i'm just a dying breed.@@SeanDivine
hey bro I'm into your video. btw where can I find threshold function key? I easily find it the previous version. not here in 11
Hi? Thanks for the video, first of all. It's very helpful.
I want to ask a question which may sound stupid but... I'm sorry but I need to. Would it make sense to use an Ozone for the whole track and then a second one to work on the bass, for example, as you/he did in the video or is this stupid?

Thanks for your help!!
i can use reference track on this feature?
Yep!
My bro❤
To use Clarity stem focus does it go on the master buss?
Yes. Ozone 11 Advanced also offers the Clarity module as an individual plugin to use throughout your mix.
Sean Divine you still around . Where you been? Immediately subscribed
Question…how to do you utilize OZ11 in conjunction with your hardware? (the portico & ssl fusion) …
I use the Portico (it's the channel not the MBP) for input processing. The Fusion is usually on my stereo bus in Logic (I/O plugin), inserted before Ozone.
@@SeanDivine gotcha !! I have the MBP…so I was curious how you use the two..so essentially it would be the same for me. Gotcha gotcha ..
What about learning curve?
Very good video and great plugin. Can full mix and stem processing happen in the same ozone 11 instance at the same time? Lets say I first want to eq the vocals, then the drums, and finally the full mix, is this possible?
No, not yet :)
I like my masters done by a certified mastering engineer. Ozone is cool for my quick masters to test out my mixes before I send them out for official masters.
That’s the hottest folk song I’ve ever heard
For whatever reason, I cannot figure out how to produce a Streaming Master...not sure why the input meter always says "9.5?" I mix to -6 peaks.
2:17 It's hoodfolk.
11??? Man I'm still learning 10......
No rush! 10 is still very capable.
clarity = wavesfactory equalizer clone?
Clone, no. Similar concept though. Clarity dynamically processes hundreds of bands. I do have the WF EQ - great plugin as well.
@@SeanDivine yea, Clarity has way more bands
I guess its a bit comparable with Gulfoss or Soothe....@seanDivine could maybe give this a closer view.🙂
Can you use the EQ for each stem separately in the same component or need to add 4 times the EQ?
You can only use one stem focus per Ozone 11 instance
That digital distorsion in the mix might be the next big thing
All of iZotope's products are great but I might have to actually upgrade to Win 10.
Windows 11*
I just wish they will make this a stand alone like ozone 8, we need stand alone agin with ozone 11
This stuff is getting krazy, Ozone 20 going to turn into a full Daw where you can add track audio and add midi tracks as well as remixing mixing all your tracks after you’re done with your first mix lol.

You do know that using the scroll wheel instead of moving mouse around is allowed right? Loll. nice vid...
Haha yes. Could just be my mouse but it doesn’t feel as precise to me :)
@@SeanDivine Do you bruh..
5:10 Clarity module clearly making vocals sound like he's LISPING.
That’s so nice! Shall we connect?
I feel I got ripped off with Ozone 10. Most of the stuff here seems to be something you can do in the mix before mastering, so I will probably hold off until Ozone 12.
wdym 11! I just bought 10 :(
damn, I`m still paying of my monthly splice fee for the rent to own version of version 9 and 10...
I'm an indentured servant to them
Make a waves recording template
Thanks for saying advanced....many others don't or wont, and its misleading...
Everything finaly goes to Eleven one day .... ;) Understand who can ...
This update is disappointing for me. I just upgraded to ozone 10 so having to pay another grade fee is annoying.
same thing for me, I am still paying off version 9 and 10.
Same, I JUST bought 10 last week lmao 😂
Clarity module = Gullfoss.....
I was thinking the same. Love Gullfoss and I trust Izotope engineers to recreate great tools.
