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.

  • @DJFireBear .wav

  • Hello! In which file format should I mastering in wav or mp3?

  • i love you ..

  • @Brianlee315 Then why watch a tutorial on mastering? I know what you're saying and i agree, i'd rather leave mastering on my tunes to a qualified engineer for many reasons. But this is a tutorial on mastering, why call it bullshit?

  • A great tutorial, thanks! I learned a lot here. Only thing i wanted was to hear more of the comparison, i can't hear much of a difference. I'll try it out on some of my own stuff tho.

  • When is your online class and how do i join!?

  • @mp3djbigj AGREED. rather make more compositions and songs than waste time on this bullshit

  • This is just an amazing tutorial, the tracks sounds so much sweeter

  • You are a fantastic teacher bro - clear with gr8 knowledge. Step by step visuals are top quality. Rare mix on youtube. Good to get yr take on effective kick driven side-chaining in OZne 5 - subtle enough to correct timings in dance tracks for vynl.

  • ppl don't let this soft voice fool you 1 db bump is some bullshit
