Haven't tried Sonible Limiter yet. Ozone have a few different IRC modes, I wonder how they compare to other limiters.

Thanks for leaving the comment:) I am using Ozone since version 2 and never would have imagined it would turn into AI mastering giant! Have been experimenting with different plugin and analog emulation, but mastering is all about precision and Ozone delivers

@@PoloTremolo Ozone 2, wow! That's crazy, you were really at the start of the digital music production revolution! I think my first Ozone was version 7. Agreed, all the layers of precision in Ozone 11 are really cool.

Indeed, it is louder:) But also it usually helps getting the tone right, masters are bright but not too bright. With older versions, it depended much on the input

Hey, thanks for pointing that out. You are right, I could have volume matched those, but anyway the difference in overall tone is huge, but yes - the new version seems to make hotter/louder master:) I've got Soothe 1 and sometimes feel tempted to overuse it, but I found that in some cases, ie harsh hihats etc, Spectral Shaper from Ozone does good job too, and it does not distroy transients.

Thanks for pointing that out. You're right:) This can be done with iZotope Audiolens which is a free software, but only for a specific piece of music (I showed how it works somewhere in the middle of my vid). However I would prefer a more general targets that could have been creating by analizing not single recordings but dozens or maybe even handreds chart hits. More broad targets can be created using Tonal Balance by analyzing the whole catalogues of music from hard drive, but I think these can be used only in Tonal BAlance and I think Tonal Balance is about EQ curves only and Audiolens analyzes also dynamics, stereo width etc. Anyway Let me know what are your experiences with usign Audiolens, cause I haven't used it much yet!

@@PoloTremolo Ohh, yeah that would be amazing. And I haven't really tried Audiolens YET, but I'm pretty sure I'll get a hold of it pretty soon and test it out. Anyway, have a nice day!

Thanks for asking. You are right, I think I got it wrong - Audiolens lets you make individual targets, but you can use iZotope Tonal Balance 2 to make some more broad targets - I haven't play with that much though and these can't be used for Ozone (Audiolens measures not only spectrum, but also dynamics, width and it would be probably difficult to have a batch or genre specific target like this). Also, another great tool for monitoring the spectrum is Excite Audio Vision 4X - the meters show narrow targets for very different genres and it works amazingly - once i get my hip hip, house or techno track to fit wihtin the range it sounds very well balanced - highly recommended! Literally the best for low end monitoring in my opinion.

@@PoloTremolo thank you so much for your comprehensive answer. I absolutely LOVE ozone 11 and I will check out Excite Audio Vision 4X

I don’t think there is a perfect tool, but probably there will be one in the future;) anyway, even though you can’t separate stems perfectly there should be no significant phase issues or so called group delays - so using Imager or digital Eq you should be on the safe side😜

The techno track is called "Revival" and was produced by a friend of mine Pablo de Grey. The second one I mixed and stem-mastered is Greg Heldens' "Belive in me" - I think the latter can be found on Spotify ;)
