I like it... you can find some tutorials about it if u search (google). the more separate, the more flexible it is, but is becomes harder too. anyway i think everyone has a 'special tool' that uses, and ozone is one of them! for instance the harmonic exciter can give new breathe to old songs... |

Look at www.izotope.com for a guide how to use it right.
I use it sometimes, it has good multi bad compressing and good eq features.
I wouldn't say waves is much better, and there are lot more really good mastering tools, like the voxengo stuff which is really good quality.
Anyone using DSP ThrillMe, a little bit of its spectral enhancer seems to be good sometimes.
What do u think about spectral enhancing plugins?

I only use it for the harmonic exciter, which i really like a lot. The other stuff i use are plugins for Powercore and UAD-1. The order of plugins: Harmonic exciter > Multiband Compressor > EQ > Limiter. Mastering is not a trick though, it takes a lot of knowledge and skill as well as an accurate listening environment to give a track that magical polish. I have to admit never really got it right, but every track i'm getting better at it  It's probably best to leave the mastering to a professional, if you're releasing a track. This will get you better results and will leave you more time to write music. Check:

Izotope didn't sound very good to me, and didn't think the interface was very good either. And that is kindof important when it comes to eq especially I think.
Like Orange said, waves rules when it comes to native mastering plugins. True that they are a bit more difficult to use correctly. Not so much because of the interface so much i think, but because of the sensitivity in the controls.
Spectral enhancing is good if the track sounds dull sometimes instead of eq, but I never used it for mastering any tracks for a CD release. Luckily the tracks haven't been that badly produced.
If you wan't to give air into a old recording or mp3 it's great though, since the frequencies is simply not there to be eq'd, |
