Mixing & Mastering Video Tutorial Pt 1: How To Use A Limiter in Ozone 4 w/ Ableton Live

In part one of this three-part Mixing & Mastering video tutorial series, Daniel Wyatt teaches you How To Use A Limiter using Ozone 4 from Izotope, offering tips and techniques for polishing your tracks, and give them a finished, professional sound. Daniel Wyatt offers a universal mastering technique using Ozone 4, which is indeed one of the most powerful mastering plug-ins, but you can use this method to attain loudness in any host application. In part 1, Daniel Wyatt navigates the Limiter section and explains some the essential functions of the Loudness Maximizer (another name for the Limiter) in a step by step process; from Master Output setting to Dithering, correcting mixing mistakes, adding fullness without distortion, and Release control, for making the sound loud and bouncy. Stay tuned for part 2, as Daniel Wyatt concludes the series with a focus on Multiband Dynamics, Harmonic Exciter, and more.

Mixing & Mastering Video Tutorial Pt 2: Mid-Side EQ Technique

In the second part of this three-part video tutorial series, Daniel Wyatt shares an invaluable tip for mastering: The Mid-Side EQ Technique, also known as The Sum & Difference Technique, which is an amazing technique you can use to adjust the stereo width of tracks and make them wider. Once again, Wyatt is using the Ozone 4 mastering plug-in, but this is a universal mastering technique you can apply using any host application. Daniel Wyatt shows you how to navigate the Parametric EQ section of Ozone, switching between the Side EQ (used for wide-panned stereo information such as synths, pads, percussions, reverb etc. ) and the Mid EQ (used for kick, snare, bass, lead vocals, instruments, etc.) At the end of this tutorial you should have a good grasp of how to utilize The Mid-Side EQ technique, segment frequencies and make the Mid and Side EQs compliment each other – keep the Mids focused with an extra boost for the subs and the Sides gently rolling off lows.

Mixing & Mastering Video Tutorial Pt 3: Multiband Harmonic Exciter

In the third and final installment of this three-part Mixing & Mastering video tutorial series, Daniel Wyatt shows you how to navigate the various features and parameters of iZotope’s Ozone 4 in this brand new video tutorial, the followup to How To Use A Limiter and Mid-Side EQ Technique. Wyatt utilizes Ozone’s Multiband Harmonic Exciter to explain and demonstrate how to add some saturation to your mix and use the exciter signal processing technique to not only bring out the flavors of the elements of your sound but also generate new harmonic content and give your track a warm, fuzzy, and dynamic feel.

Below, we’ve got a brand new track titled “Parallel” from Dubspot Mixing & Mastering student Adam Schwartz. We have a pre-master and a mastered version, side to side. Please have a listen, and notice the significant improvement and transformation of the track from rough, low-volume composition to a dynamic, dancefloor ready banger. The track was mixed and mastered by the student, Adam himself.
