@@aarongrabham4412 i don’t think you actually can? As when I turn down the vocals to -2db it’ll do the same with the bass and the drums. Not sure what I’m doing wrong lol
i find the most challenging thing about mastering a full project is making sure the volume levels are consistent throughout, the option to upload a reference track template when mastering is so amazing
I recently checked out your video with mastering with logic stock plugins and it was fantastic. I checked out this video today and took the plunge on getting 9 Advanced, threw a rough track (that I still need to do a lot more tracking and mixing on) just to play around with Ozone. Holy crap. First time after years of trying that I've been able to get a big sound with competitive loudness that I've been looking for! I just plugged in a reference track of a similar genre and I'm finding that in a totally backwards way, reverse engineering this is allowing me to think about my mix a bit more before it's actually ready for this plugin. I can't thank you enough for these videos. I'm a musician that's usually on the road and thanks to the pandemic, I've been missing the stage a lot and stuck at home, using the time to learn how to make my own songs sound the way I hear them in my head. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and making the last year a little less shitty!
Thank You! I got a lot out of this session. Self taught on recording analog, now using Logic ProX. I used Ozone 7 a few years back but for dynamic tweaking down a hot mix..
I had Ozone 9 Standard and earlier this wk, upgraded to Advanced. Just paid the difference in the price, $200. ONE thing I think Sean failed to mention on the Rebalance module. I believe that you can only do ONE of the three options. And I HOPE that at a later date, Izotope figures out a way to do all three. I watched another YT video on this product the other day, and that presenter said only ONE can be used. Can't add a 2nd Advanced plugin either, so hopefully when I use it for the first time, this afternoon!!!!, I will just have to select the one of the three that needs adjusting the most! It is however, a super duper mastering device, all in all. OH...a thought.....maybe if you need to increase the vocal and decrease the bass or drums, you can do it with the Low End Focus section. I will try that out today.
Great video Sean. Beautifully explained. Also, thank you for clarifying the stereorize option; I have seen a few videos where people insist this option must be turned on in order for imager to work.
Killer, man. Great walk-through as always. And glad Ozone was smart enough to have you on the Beta team. Looking forward to adding Ozone 9 to my set-up. Cheers brother.
I'm just discovering this video and let me just thank you for this, I can tell how much you know by just checking out how you work, I appreciate the content bro, really helpful to grasp the basics of this software! Cheers!
Hey Sean, I am clipping on my peak levels beside the Maximizer. What should I go back and check to fix this? I played with the maximizer I can't fix this from there.
@@SeanDivine Ok also I noticed the left faders are peak input and right are peak output. So if the peak input is in the red is that okay because my peak output never goes above zero? Nor do I have any channels that clip.
Bro, thanks for the video... have a question. During widening your correlation meter peak was going below zero. Doesn't it bother you? Isn't it an indication of BN phase issue?
phase correlation metering is not going to be above 0 throughout most mixes unless you have no stereo information - not necessarily an issue, as long as you're listening for actual phase issues.
@@SeanDivine Thanks for reply and Happy New Year 😊 I'm not too sure but ihv heard if a track has phase issue and played on speakers then bass frequencies will suffer. Also I'm wondering what is the significance of correlation meter if it's phase indications doesn't bother much. If possible please make a video on this topic with live example. It will be very helpful for people like me 🙏😊
The Rebalance feature is very cool, and I can see if you were a mastering engineer... this would be extrememly helpful, due to the fact that you don't have the tracks. However... if you're a home studio person, and you're running Presonus Studio One Advanced... you have a "Project" page which is your built-in mastering plugin. It's a separate module that feeds off of the mixing section. You simply select the wrench icon on the track that you want to adjust, and it loads the individual tracks for you. You can then adjust the problematic track and it auto updates the master within the Project/mastering module. Studio One is an amazing DAW.
It looks on the sound waves like its only a beat without vocals, thats how controlled the mix is.. wow. You should make a tutorial and using this song as example.
Thanks for the video my dude! Good stuff. Just bought myself a copy of the music production suite 3 and everything is so clean and helpful. Ozone 9 is legit, although it takes a TON of cpu and I have a Ryzen 7 1800x too.. lol. You have to be careful not to add too many izotope products on your tracks.
This is awesome!! Im great at mixing but mastering isnt too good so now that im aware of this, it really helps! Especially if im going for mastering an album to have the same eq curve for each song!
the EQ match is a very useful starting point! Quick note: every song is (and should be) fundamentally different in terms of frequency, so just be careful not to stay too strict to always matching curves :)
I'm using Ozone 9 advanced on 10 day trial and its squishing my drums and taking clarity away from the total mix. Using gain matching, I see that my regular WAV file bounced from FL Studio is much clearer and deeper sounding than what Master Assistant spits out. I tried with two diff tracks, same squashed result. I get some stuff may need to be tweaked, but it seems like more work than I'm looking for.
@@brennyC Its house music, with a little trap breakdown on the song I'm referring to. I've tried on another more progressive type house track too. I used Majordecibel just to do a comparison (which does a "master" for free) and it came out much brighter and more what I'm looking for.
master assistant is meant to be a great starting point... it's just that, a suggestion. Ozone is a professional mastering suite not an automated service. It still takes some tweaking to get the results specific to your song. Once you get a feel for it though, it's one of the most powerful mastering suites out there and can cover any genre / style
Great Video. I hear conflicting reports about the stereoize button, I find that when I press it then only will it work, am I doing something wrong? why have a button there if its doing nothing? Showing a visual on the imager does not mean that it is active.Thanks for this tutorial.
Why is it that songs sound like the highs are being boosted on iTunes? Whenever I compare the TH-cam version of a song to the iTunes version the iTunes one sounds harsher and boosted in the highs?
@@SeanDivine Thanks, I couldn't find any info about boosted highs anywhere so I'm assuming it's just my ears which is depressing tbh because I'm still hearing boosted highs even when I match the volumes.
When you were in the Imager you pulled the top three up and brought the bottom one down. Why is that? Do you not want to spread the bass frequencies like the others?
No rules - generally speaking though, you don't want to widen frequencies below 120hz or so. It can sometimes cause phase issues and make your low end less punchy.
Hi Joshua, ?? IS THE GAIN MATCH TO BE LEFT ON OR OFF WHEN EXTRACTING A MASTER MIX ???, any help would be appreciated, thanks and keep the great tutorial coming, N.
One of the greatest engineers. Helped me get my game up. But that song is dope. Sound a little like Miguel
🙏 always enjoy working with Reggie. Extremely talented.
Very nice sounding track/mix!
Master Rebalance is a huge time saver.
0u
With master rebalance can u change each of the parts separate

The fact that the 'Reference' in mastering assistant includes the option for Streaming or CD is more flexible and cool.
Wtf... Couldn't believe my eyes at the Master Rebalance part.... Great tool as dope🔥🔥
WAIIIIT HOW IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE MASTER REBALANCE IS CRAZY!
I'm really surprised by the low end focus and the mastering rebalance! Very revolutionary and easy to use
Thank you dude. Long live Divine...
🙏
*Sean Divine* , You just helped me decide to upgrade to Ozone 9 at this time. Thank you for the great video!
Yo that master re-balance is crazy
Mzwakhe Mnguni super crazy! 😮
Excellent tutorial for an amazing plugin. Really enjoyed watching your video. Keep up the great work!
Master Rebalance is really an indispensable feature of Ozone 9.Thanks for this video !

yes! 🙌
@@SeanDivine its a dynamic dynamic eq !
I love the new Ozone 9. I have used it for years. They made a lot of smart developments.
Really nice demo. Rebalancing the vocals, bass or drum is clearly outstanding
Great video Sean. Beautifully explained. Also, thank you for clarifying the stereorize option; I have seen a few videos where people insist this option must be turned on in order for imager to work.
thanks Peter, glad it was helpful
This video is pretty dope. The song smacks too. Thank you for this walkthrough.
thanks Herbert, glad it helped :)
WOW!!! This was so educating, i really learned so much for this!! Thank you for sharing!!!!
When I try to use master rebalance it slows the track and breaks up?
That master rebalance feature might be worth the price alone!
whats that

Nice track. I like the lyrics. Clever song writing
👍
Hey Sean, I am clipping on my peak levels beside the Maximizer. What should I go back and check to fix this? I played with the maximizer I can't fix this from there.
hey Kay, check the mixer for other channels that are clipping - use a brickwall limiter or bring back the faders appropriately
@@SeanDivine Ok also I noticed the left faders are peak input and right are peak output. So if the peak input is in the red is that okay because my peak output never goes above zero? Nor do I have any channels that clip.

thanks Marius! will see what I can do :)
What sorcery is this?!?! 🧐🤯 definitely going on my Christmas wish list. This is amazing!!
😁🙌
Thx!!! Song hard too 🔥🔥🔥
Perhaps use a full screen in the future for those on smaller devices so that they can see better. Thanks.
thanks for the feedback
Great info 💪🏾
thumbs up! thanks for sharing

8:37 - Stereoize is a separate process from the main width controls in the stereo image module. It doesn't have to be on for the imager to work.
Great review Sean. This review has helped me out a lot in understanding Ozone 9 Advanced. 👍🏽
can you make another vid using this but with a trap/hip hop track? keep it up sean divine!
will see what I can do! 🙌
The mix was sounding so good already!
That song is 🔥🔥
Reggie Becton! Check out his new EP, link is in the description 👍
@@SeanDivine thanks, definitely will do
Thanks for clarifying alot of things 👍.. thanks for doing this
Glad it helped 🙌
thanks dude that was useful!
This video is a life saver for me thank u so much !
Why is it that songs sound like the highs are being boosted on iTunes? Whenever I compare the TH-cam version of a song to the iTunes version the iTunes one sounds harsher and boosted in the highs?
typically, the only difference will be loudness in terms of LUFS. I haven't noticed a fundamental difference in tonality across platforms
@@SeanDivine Thanks, I couldn't find any info about boosted highs anywhere so I'm assuming it's just my ears which is depressing tbh because I'm still hearing boosted highs even when I match the volumes.
bro you the best i like what yopu doing even your presents vocals are dope thaNKAS
Glad you like them!
it seems for mastering rebalance you can only do vocals, drums or bass... you can't adjust all 3 in one session. Is this right?
great video!!! also, this song kinda bangs
A True Master Class! Thank You!
You bet!
Nice tutorial! keep them coming
Super video! 👍🏻
I like his ray Charles reference/influence in the hook (lonely avenue)
Great video thanks so much! Just finally did the jump from 8, Rebalance is unreal!
sure thing, I agree no gimmick there 👍

Love your helpful Videos. Greetings from Germany ;-)
Glad to hear it :)
I might use this to bring out the bass on ...And Justice for All, by Metallica.
lol
It's non-existent so I don't think even Ozone can do that
Great video. Can you do mastering tutorial with more limiters, two for example.

You smashed out the Ozone! Great tutorial, very informative, Please make a full review of Ozone 9 with Ozone compressor, Ozone spectral etc etc😍😍
Great Info. Thanks for the knowledge....
Dope video Sean! I just purchased this software so this helps out a lot.
Great to hear!
Great content! Thanks
🙌🙏
Sean you are great man!🔥

Well It’s time to upgrade from Ozone 8 to Ozone 9. Ozone 9 seems like a real game changer
Sounds dope
That song tho🔥🔥
Shame about the cost though. I could only get the Standard version. It's good but it doesn't have the master Rebalance (10:26)
Thanks, great stuff! By the way, cool Song :)
Fire Track
Thanks 🙏🏽
Hello Sean. Thanks for the tutorial. What's the title of the song, has it being released? I'ld love to have it.
Reggie Becton - You
wicked tune !!
DOPE
What's the difference of Ozone 9 advanced and Ozone elements? Elements is on sale now and has a Master Assistent. This is not it right?
this sht crazy i gotta buy ozone 9 now
