waaaw ww thats really helpfull thx m8 ...newby question time :) ,,, i usually use reverb,delay , EQ , pann and compressor in eatch channel to give like ur saying some air space or life to sound and avoid frequency interferences but do u have to do it again (like delay for ex ) when u r mastering ???? same for normalisation , ableton can do when u bounce (sorry for my eng ) and again thx for taking the time for those tutos

[DJVespers]

@groooooovy001 Good question. The delay here isn't referring to the Delay effect that causes echo repeats. It's a delay in the mixed signal.

[karmalord]

To braindance,the same can be said about T-Racks. or any other plugins if your not using them correctly. It all comes down to the song,musicianship and the mix before touching this stuff. It's not gonna help unless It already sounds good. That being said,it looks like Ozone is a fine all-in- one,especially at the price.

[DJVespers]

@karmalord Well said. Amen.

When exporting should I have Normalize turned on? Should I use Dither? Triangular? Great Tutorials! Have really helped me out!

[DJVespers]

@djtrife2010 No normalization. I'd just set the margin to -0.2 and get set the output fader correctly. And yes, you'll need to use dither if you're going down in bit depth to 16 from 24 or higher.

I LOVE YOU MAN!!!!!!!!! You have not idea of how this video has helped me!!! I really love you!!

epic tutorial man, this helped me alot!!

[EdgeOfPanic]

@DJVespers, first of all thx for this nice tut, i enjoyed it and learned a nice new trick about the matching EQ tehnique in Izotope.

Second i noticed with the stereo image widening when setting the delay on all 4 four bands to 0,2 ms my kickbeat shifted a litte to the left, so what i did was uncheck the group all band delays and only gave band 3 and 4 0,2 ms delay, that way the kick beat stays exactly in the center.

Yea dude your mix/master is rather dull. I am listening off of Maudio monitors to! If you guys want a real Ozone training lesson for free search DubSpot in Youtube...they'll have you sounding radio ready!

[hayhayoway420]

i only have one problem with this video and its just some constructive criticism but putting a delay on your stereo imager completely destroys the dynamics of your mono channel and seeing as how a lot of club systems are mono this will ultimately ruin your sound quality. just try putting a mono utility on your master channel and see how it sounds with and without the delay for a perfect example of what im talking about

Great turtorial man but for some reason I have something where everytime i export the audio wav file it doesnt pan the tracks.. do you know why is that??

[wonekawa]

@DJVespers no dither either if you are using Ozone 4 or 5. It has dither in it's mastering phase.

[AlhambraDream]

Thanks Vespers. I owe you.

i wud subscribe twice to ur channel if i cud lol

[AUDIOMUNKY1]

wow...awesome awesomesss you da man!!!

[groooooovy001]

@DJVespers cant u be more clear about it becoz when im talking about delay im talking about less than 20 ms like to make a sound warmer and more natural not the one "with echos" :) for ex for my snares there s always some reverb ,a low cut and a 12 ms delay .... from what i understood delay is added on the mastering process for a more natural mix but to do it twice might sound strange !!!! or ??
