Dubspot Instructor and Mixing & Mastering engineer Daniel Wyatt has a depth of experience, knowledge, perspective, and talent that is unique and unmatched by many mixing and mastering engineers working today. He’s mixed and mastered music for artists ranging from Nora Jones and Mos Def to The Roots and Curtis Mayfield. In this follow-up to his How To Use A Limiter using Ozone 4 from Izotope tutorial video, 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.
The music used in this tutorial is “Rewind Pop” by Peter Kirn (Create Digital Music.) The track is a tribute to Kool Herc – from a recent compilation titled We Love Kool Herc, and was put together by King Britt (Saturn Never Sleeps) to show an appreciation for the ailing hip hop founding father’s contribution to modern music and culture. We also encourage you to donate directly to Kool Herc’s official website.
