Tell us your master chain!

[Kyle King]

Reveal your secrets to us! Tell/Show what goes into your master channel when the time comes to master.

For me, I usually run a Fab Filter Pro Q2, and then a couple of modules in Ozone including the Imager, and the Maximizer, sometimes the Dynamic EQ, then I usually have Voxengo Span at the very end to check the levels.

Lin Band Eq for under 25 cut then Tape machine for the warm some Psp Vintage for the warm aswell SSL comp for the glue/comp thing another more surgical eq Mid/side to get unwanted frequency away then First limiter to get a bit of levels and A.O.M Invsible limiter to loud the thing up

[fungsway]

L2 Limiter. I'm still deciding whether my tracks are worth proper mastering.

[Ruse]

EQ > Tape Saturation > Limiter. I usually don't use compression during the master because I compress the mix before hand.

[polardubbear97]

iZotope Ozone: EQ -> Dynamics / DynEQ -> Exciter -> Imager -> PostEQ -> Limiter

[ocularedm]

literally the only thing on my master chain most of the time is an EQ and AOM Invisible Limiter

AOM is such a beast invisible limiter , but Imma try the slate digital one , nearly the perfection as I heard

Wavelab > waves eq 6 > waves r compressor > waves r compressor >steinberg stereo tools > waves L2

The Glue -> Invisible Limiter is my usual chain. OTT is sometimes fun to throw on at 5-10% wet if I need more sustain or want to make the mix sound a little more colored. I've also enjoyed using Waves NLS Bus for its drive knob to add a little saturation and cross-talk emulation, and the Slate Digital plugs sound great too (esp their Shadow Hills comp and the Focusrite Red 3 emulations).

Yea

too heavy for my laptop i'd do too if could~

[Mat_Zo]

I never EQ the master bus, recently my master bus usually looks like this:

ozone maximizer (loudness)>oxford inflater with the clipping off (for filling in harmonics very slightly)>camel phat with everything off (to bring it back to 0)>oxford limiter (for a bit of extra loudness + slightly filling in harmonics again and limiting obviously)

Do you find oxford better than any other Limiter ? Like Uad one L2-3 , Slate Digital Sonnox etc ?
