With the headlines delivered, we just have space to blast through the rest of the changes. Flipping between the active reference track and the input signal is done with the Reference power button, and the curve and level of the reference track can optionally be set to appear in all module spectrograms and the input meter. The detection of these is variable in its success, but markers are easily moved, deleted and created. Ozone’s machine learning algorithm is deployed again to set markers on the reference tracks, segregating sonically consistent regions - ie, verses, choruses, etc - for looped playback. The new Track Referencing feature is a simple but useful system for A/B comparison of your master with up to ten imported tracks. It’s a brilliant instant problem solver that slots perfectly into Ozone’s rack. Set a frequency range for processing (that of your overly sharp hi-hats, for example, or vocal sibilance), choose Light, Medium or Heavy gain reduction, lower the Threshold as required, tilt the spectral timbre with the Tone slider, shape the envelope with the Attack and Release controls, and marvel as those hi-hats or ‘esses’ sink smoothly back into the mix without affecting quieter sounds in the same spectral neighbourhood. Ozone 8 Advanced also sees the addition of the Spectral Shaper, a frequency-conscious dynamics module for effortless ironing out of harshness and other objectionable high-end noises. While the chains it came up with for our test tracks were definitely in the right ball park, they always required at least moderate editing and balancing.
What it absolutely isn’t is a quasi-magical one-click virtual mastering engineer. Like Neutron’s Track Assistant, as long as it’s approached with realistic expectations - ie, that it’s really just suggesting a starting point from which to dial in your own settings - Master Assistant is a solid enough system. It’s a great system, although it only works with EQ in stereo mode, not mid/side. The low end Crest Factor is also displayed in a three-segment meter - keep it in the centre segment for optimum results.Ī menu enables selection of any active instance of Ozone 8, Neutron 2 or their module plugins in the project, bringing up the EQ controls and a spectrum analyser for EQ and Post EQ, and just the analyser for all others. The idea is to place Tonal Balance Control on the master out and adjust EQ settings throughout the mix to get the white spectrum curve to fall entirely within the green target range, which is selected from three preset types (Bass Heavy, Modern and Orchestral) or any number of analysed tracks from your own library. In Broad mode, the analyser divides the frequency spectrum and target range into four easily read blocks, while Fine mode gives a full, high-res view of the spectrum and target for detailed comparison. This is exactly why we've spent the last 5 years developing the definitive 8-week program that delivers everything you need to know to produce (and market) world-class electronic dance music in record time.A separate, included plugin, Tonal Balance Control (Advanced only) facilitates viewing of a track’s spectral distribution relative to one of three target curves defined by analysis of thousands of mastered tracks, and acts as a central control station for the EQs in all running instances of Ozone 8 and Neutron 2 Advanced. You know deep down you have what it takes, if only you had the right information and the right framework in which to implement it to get REAL results. It comes down to focussing on the right skills at the right time in the right order.
You know that success as a music producer doesn't come down to talent, money, contacts or even necessarily time. That in itself sets you apart from 99% of producers out there. The good new is, the very fact you're here shows that you know there IS a way – that you intrinsically know it's not just a matter of "talent", "getting a break" or good old fashioned "luck".
IZOTOPE OZONE 8 MASTERCLASS FULL
You may have recently started – and be full of enthusiasm – or you may have been producing for a while and almost given up a few times (after comparing your music to your favourite producers). In fact, you may be way off – and it hurts to know it. You've probably already spent hundreds of hours on your music over the months and years – but still can't quite achieve the sound you're looking for.
