 To celebrate creative source reaching 100,000 subscribers, I've reached out to some of my favourite partners so that we can say thank you to you for all of your amazing support. For 7 days in a row I'll be launching giveaways for a total of 24 prizes worth over $6,000 so that you can get the chance to have your hands on some great studio gear and software. Each video also has a bonus secret code inside for you to get extra entries so make sure you watch the whole thing. Today's prize comes from Isotope. Hi folks, I'm Mike and I hope you're well. Isotope is one of those companies I've really enjoyed working with because I actually use their products in my productions all the time, I mean all the time, okay? And you can hardly talk about Isotope without talking about what I guess is their kind of flagship product which is Ozone. I use that extensively in my mastering and I've talked about that in a recent video. Let's take a quick look. We know it's big and we know it's popular but what makes it so great? It's true that you could create your own mastering suite using plugins from different sources but it's really nice with Ozone that you've got everything you need in one place. You can add or remove modules as you like and rearrange them etc. Now it's got the basics like compression, EQ and limiting and it's got some nice other things like stereo imaging of course and saturation. To be quite honest with you, it's hard to think of anything they left out. So if you're not a mastering engineer and mastering still holds some kind of mystery for you then Ozone can be a big help. Apart from the automated features like the master assistant and the reference track matching, it's always had this kind of semi-tutorial feel about it. Just loading up a preset gives you an indication of what kind of modules you might use and what order you would use them in. As someone who's always in a hurry to release audio to platforms such as this one, YouTube, the maximizer module is an absolute godsend. You simply set up the requirements for the platform that you're releasing to, play your track and the maximizer figures out the best settings to achieve those requirements for that platform. Also when I think about Isotope, I think about RX. This is just magic to me. If you don't know what RX is, it's like that Swiss Army knife of tools and plugins so that you can fix faults in your audio. There may be pops and clicks or there may be things like fret noise and squeaks on a guitar. There's a whole range of things that RX can be used to fix. I made a video about the previous version of it. This one, version 9 at the moment, but I made a video about version 8. Let's just take a quick look at that now. So a great vocal performance can be ruined with plosives. This is the sound of wind rushing across the microphone and we particularly get it with puh and bust sounds. In the recording I'm about to play you, it's being caused by a tuh sound on the second word. You've taken my heart and you give it up. And again. You've taken my heart and you give it up. And one more time and remember to listen with headphones or studio monitors. You've taken my heart and you give it up. So I'm going to apply de-plosive from RX 8 on its default settings. Let's see what difference it makes. You've taken my heart and you give it up. Like magic. It's gone. An absolute favorite from me as well from Isotope is Nectar. It's really kind of a one-stop shop for vocal processing. Please check that out in the links in the description down below. I'm so pleased to tell you that Isotope have generously offered as a prize for this giveaway. The massive Music Production Suite 4.1.
