Re: Automatic EQ Opinions
Sounds like another advance in 'mastering for dummies' technology. But I don't pay dummies to master my records.

Re: Automatic EQ Opinions
Just sounds like he's a musician that stays away from the recording side. I'd guess by "spectrum" he ment the spectrum of sound, i.e. the sound waves.vvv wrote: ↑Sat Nov 10, 2018 11:02 am"He swept through the spectrum in Surgical Mode, finding places where sounds seemed to be gathering during all parts of the song, then cutting a 0.5 to 1 dB from each of those areas."
Can you elaborate on this a little more? He was doing it visually (like, with an FFT "spectrum" display)?
I'm not an Ozone user ...
Or doya just mean he "swept through" the frequencies, listening closely at various parts of the song?

Sounds like the engineer was trying for a quick and dirty rough mix "master" setting.logancircle wrote: ↑Sat Nov 10, 2018 8:34 amOzone...
Thoughts about this? --> I sat in the control room at a very expensive studio with diamond-encrusted monitors, and watched this ace ripping through Ozone. Here's what he did:
- Set the Maximizer to a ballpark level, then set it to Gain Matching...
- He swept through the spectrum in Surgical Mode, finding places where sounds seemed to be gathering during all parts of the song, then cutting a 0.5 to 1 dB from each of those areas.
- Cranked the Maximizer super hard, finding a limiter speed.
- Chose the dither...
- Export...
Howling at the neighbors. Hoping they have more mic cables.
