« on: January 06, 2016, 02:40:42 pm »- Ozone 5 Dynamics - multi-band gating
- Ozone 7 Dynamic EQ - typically boosting highs in the sides and lows in the mids about 1dB each along with an optional muddy-frequency cut a few dB (2-3 around 200-300).
- Ozone 7 Dynamics - multi-band compression
- Ozone 5 EQ - I use the matching function AFTER LIMITING to get a better representation of the necessary boosts and cuts, then move this EQ back before the limiter so it doesn't interfere with the limiting process
- Ozone 7 Maximizer - The new IRC IV is a very strong limiter in my opinion. The transparency is almost unmatched and the maximizer allows for stereo unlinking (which I'll turn up a bit) and transient focus (which I also turn up a bit). I've preferred the "Transient" setting under the IRC IV drop-down menu but I try them all to see if another one is worth using for the track.
- K-Clip (Optional) - If I feel just a bit more volume would help push my track to its fullest, I'd probably go with KClip. I bought it after hearing about it for the first time on the r/edmproduction subreddit and I must say I'm certainly impressed. Definitely worth the $10.
I hope that helps some of you out! I know it sounds like a lot of stuff but they are all minimal changes that help group my track together. No master-channel processing happens before I bounce my track so I feel all of these little things really pull my tracks together
