    So reassuring to hear a Grammy Award-winning engineer say that sometimes, tracks just don't wanna be loud! I still can't explain it for some tracks. It's like every song has it's own soul.

    • @kagaro99
      @kagaro99 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Loudness really starts with the arrangement - too many sounds happening at the same time can limit your end loudness - for example having a kick hit at the same time as a bass note - from there the loudness will be limited by the mix - using clippers on transient heavy material like drums can help to trim peaks as the mix progresses - it is important to see how things sum together and if that sum is creating a peak that needs your attention - an oscilloscope can be your best friend with this - if you have peaks or sums of energy that are too high you will not be able to turn the track up without distorting the limiter because the gain reduction will be too much - often you will find that it is possible to clip off sizeable peaks (say anywhere from 1 to even 6db or more) from kicks and snares and have basically effect on the sound quality

    Looking constantly at the clipping (or levels) above 0db)of ozone’s output made me sooooo nervous ;-). On the other hand it sounded fantastic. So what does sequoia do internally when it gets this „hot“ levels“ back from a plug-in? I guess I have to question everything I thought I knew about how a limiter is used in mastering … so many questions in my head right now.

    Some potentially misleading info here re: how Stereo and Mid/Side modes actually work in the Ozone EQ. The only way for this to work the way it is used here, is first to go to the Mid/Side mode and link the channels. Then, when returning to Stereo mode and making changes, those will translate in both the Mid and the Side channels after switching to that mode again. I don't think Em had those linked in the first place, so changing a band the Stereo mode will only translate to the Mid channel once you switch from Stereo to Mid/Side.

    Can someone explain the "setting the levels" section? Is this a gain boost by increasing the input and output levels? Could the same thing be done by decreasing threshold on Maximizer, for example? Thanks!

    • @MikeBrayton
      @MikeBrayton 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      As I understand it, the input affects the level going in to the entire plugin. and you may want to gain it up or down depending on how hard or soft you want to drive, like, the vintage compressor or something. And, the output control is the level going out of ozone. just in case you want to skip the maximizer entirely, let's say, and use a different external limiter? But I think he was using it to adjust his listening volume level relative to the track he was comparing with... which would mean he would probably reset the output volume to zero prior to bouncing The final master.

      Re: Input gain, yes, as Mike said. I prefer to bring the volume of the track up rather than having the limiter do the work. You might achieve a similar result decreasing the threshold on the maximizer, but all of the work you’re doing on the track prior to the maximizer volume will be done at a different volume, which will affect how it sounds.

Or maybe you mean the limiter inside of ozone? There's some people commenting about the 8dB of gain on the output. So where does that get limited? I think I'm having trouble seeing the difference between raising the volume with the maximizer inside of ozone versus raising the output level inside of ozone, which then gets limited by the same limiter inside of ozone. I'm confused, and scared.. :)

  • @RyanGildea
    @RyanGildea 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    When Em changes from Stereo to Mid-Side processing in the EQ module, isn't that changing the processing mode for the entire module, not just the node being edited? That's what the Ozone ooltips say anyway. If you want to do both stereo and mid-side EQ processing you need to use two separate modules.
    Like others posting here, I am also confused by Em's disregard for the clipping on the output meter. If they have no limiter outside of Ozone, then the signal is being clipped at the DAW output. I've been taught that this will cause issues for streaming encoders as well as causing distortion and unpredictable results in D/A converters.
    My approach to gain staging has been to use clip gain to get the audio to the level I want to work at. I am using Wavelab, but that should be available in any DAW. This is the same as using the input gain slider in Ozone, but I can add more than 10 dB of gain if necessary. I never touch Ozone's output level because I'm relying on the maximizer to manage the final output level.
    I can appreciate "if it sounds good it is good" as an artistic approach, but I am having a hard time accepting that uncontrolled clipping is no big deal. Wouldn't it be better to shape the transients with a soft clipper or limiter and be in precise control of your digital peak level? I understand Em is saying that the clipping he is hearing sounds good to his ear and is a part of the overall sound/tonality they are evaluating throughout the process. But doesn't exceeding 0 dBFS mean it's not predictable how other systems will react, and there could be (additional, unwanted) distortion produced in a listener's D/A converters?

    • @ProjectHMF
      @ProjectHMF 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      From my personal experience:
      1. Yes ur right about the mid / side EQ but I believe if you make some tweaking on stereo mode it will still be present on both the mid and the side eq.
      2. If signal is peaking at -1db after limiting inside ozone (maximizer/vintage limiter at the end of the chain) and u dont have any processing afterwards it should still peak at -1db after exporting if that makes sense. I think ur refering to how its getting past 0db inside the daw, the thing is, I believe that is just for volume matching and will be fixed before exporting.

  • @musicproductionclips8928
    @musicproductionclips8928 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Switching back and forth between mid/side and stereo EQ in the same module? That's confusing as hell! If you create an EQ band to adjust the mid and then switch that same module to Stereo you are literally changing the way you are EQing with that band. Same if you apply a Stereo band and switch to mid, that band will not be affecting the sides anymore... The way to go about this is by using 2 different EQ modules to do Stereo and Mid/Side separately, so what is going on here? I'm very very very confused.

    • @churchusa

      This!
      Unless Izotope changed how the EQ module works from version 9 to 10. Haven't tried Ozone 10. Otherwise I see two explanations to this:
      1. Em is doing so small adjustments that Em can't hear what's actually happening and is fooled by the visuals and placebo.
      2. Em doesn't know how Ozone works and doesn't use it in daily work. Em is just hired by Izotope to market Ozone.

Would you be able to answer something I’m sure a lot of us are wondering: what is happening to the audio after you boost the output of the plug-in? When you export a 24bit file, there is inherently a ceiling of digital 0, so are you using the ceiling as a clipper of sorts? Pushing level into the ceiling? You have an interesting approach that I’ve never seen before, and I’m very intrigued. Thanks!

It seems too complicated to even give a compliment and be interested in working with someone not knowing what pronoun I should be speaking of. So yea, next song mastered by Oasis Mastering it's a company and i don't have to be at fault on the pronouns. Thanks

      Thank you saying this!! I totally had the same question in my mind having come from the analog world of mixing and mastering. Digital totally changes how I’ve come to look at my mixing / mastering.

      @@emersonmancini1962 thanks! But what’s the reason you’re doing this? Is it actually giving you any more level on the output? Is your master bus clipping as well or is that at 0? (Apologies for the pronoun!!)

      @@emersonmancini1962 Hi, could you please explain, since this is really bewildering - you are raising the volume after the limiting, which in a 32 bit floating environment should not clip, but as soon as the song is exported to 24 or 16 bit, it will distort like crazy. You should have another limiter working after the Maximizer, I presume?

      @@joshfields5966 Usually that would be simply clipping your output. I surely believe that she pulled the signal down again after Ozone or recorded her output in a floating point bitrate for use in this Video to avoid clipping. But idk how it was handled in this case honestly.

      ​​@@emilkey12 Yeah I think he was just using the output volume to get the song up to the same level as the one he was comparing it with. I think when the time came to bounce the master, he probably reset the output volume back to zero.

    Isn't it? The hihats and upper range percussions sounding very separated and small from the rest. I would create an additional track of 6k to 10k and use a 12th or 7th lower octave slightly for this particular high band. An alternative plugin is Unfilter from Zynaptic to correct upscrewed frequency bands.
    Anyway nice "how to" better master tutorial. It's always an advantage to see how other professionals try to focus on these work. 👍
