Mastering music is not easy. Getting your tracks to sound loud, punchy, rich, full, and clean all at the same time can have you pulling your hair out, or worse – abandoning a project altogether.
Fortunately, well-designed mastering plugins and tools are available to simplify mastering. One of these plugins, and one of the highest-rated plugins in the category, is iZotope Ozone. It comes with features that simplify the processes of gluing your mix, balancing frequencies, and adding richness and character.
In this 2.5 hour course, I’ll take you through each of Ozone 6’s modules and dive deep into the techniques you need to create incredible-sounding masters for any electronic piece you produce. This is a tell-all course that will teach you exactly how i and other mastering engineers work to transform less-than-perfect mixdowns into polished masters, ready for the world to enjoy.
You’ll learn:
- EQ techniques for a cleaner mix, tighter bottom end, and a top end that sparkles
- Multi-band compression for a more balanced track that plays well on any system
- Stereo imaging that will result in a wider, richer master that translates well on different systems
- Using saturation for extra richness and character
- How to get your tracks loud – without distortion!
- PLUS: a bonus technique that few, if any, engineers or producers will admit they use or tell you about… I’LL TELL YOU ABOUT IT!
Whether you’re new to Ozone or have been using it for years, this course will teach you something new – with a fresh approach to mastering.
Whether you produce house, trance, deep house, trap, or anything in between, there’s something in this course for you. If you own a different version of Ozone. you can use the techniques in this course on any previous or newer version of iZotope Ozone.
