How to Use the New Master Assistant in Ozone 10 | iZotope Mastering Plug-in

[@shinjukucafe]

thank you izotope for updating to the latest version i.e. ozone 10. I can't wait to try this sometime later 😍🥰🥳🍫☕🍫☕ as others have said, it would be nice to listen to other music genres in these shows and not hip hop / trap beats when there are already too many of them on youtube

[@AeonGreyh]

Finally someone says it, especially when Ozone is impressively good for Orchestral music even

[@VentureNW]

Thank you Mr. Manchester!😊

[@thaexception3406]

The new Ozone 10 Elements is exactly what I needed - just the Assistant and Assistant View plus limited extras at a bargain price!

[@dealsbetweenfriends]

still learning..............recomended on Studio one.. yes 2024

[@oscargolfmusic]

wow what an update!

[@johnnyvegas2015]

Looks great, definitely getting it...cheers

[@marcbentel4129]

Great update !

[@piyasirimusicproduction]

Awesome but I hoped for a better price for upgrade on Ozone 9 Advanced...

[@davidasher22]

Y’all fixed the gain match so it favors the quieter mix volume. I think this is much better. You’d always clip with it the other way around (bringing mix volume up to mastered volume). Any reason one or the other would be better though for Sonic reasons? Like, why did you have it the loud way in Ozone 9? Just curious.

[@AaronHoeyMusic]

whoop whoop its here

[@DavidCicero]

Pity no standalone for this?

[@JohnSmith-pn2vl]

why would that be useful ? just use any daw no ?

[@billpodolak7754]

Yeah I’m also curious about this ^ are there any particular features that you’d miss about the standalone app that can’t be done with the plugins in a DAW?

[@DavidCicero]

@@billpodolak7754 Here's one of many, it's not compatible / found with Reason DAW.

[@WBCStudio.]

@@DavidCicero that's a big one. Sent sent going to upgrade to something i don't be able to use? For Reaper it's my only go to DAW.

[@areyoujelton]

@@DavidCicero who uses reason 😂

[@MikeKarMusic]

Question: Ozone's 10 mastering assistant doesnt use a compressor on its AI mastering chain. why? should i use a compressor on my master bus before i open ozone 10?

[@fjazz]

why does your demo video has audio clipping on the in and out of the plug in?

[@dafingaz]

Thanks!

[@eliazariofficial]

Guys I really love the song, I do make my own music but wondering who is this amazing and inspiring artist which is being used for this tutorial... basically whos song is it?

[@NewcarsTv]

wow, dope!!

[@Simbosan]

Very odd that they don't even address home HiFi for the maximiser

[@tendingtropic7778]

I have ozone 9 advanced; and ozone 10 elements. I can use the master assistant, and it works, but I can't see the detailed view (although I have all the ozone 9 advanced plugins). Is this normal or am I missing something. Do I really have to upgrade to ozone 10 advanced for this?

[@allensimpsoncomposer]

The video explains how to set loudness by decibels, but what if I want to set the max by LUFS? Say to -14LUFS or -16LUFS, for example? Where and how would I do that?

[@philarcman]

You can set loudness levels in the maximizer module in Ozone 10. The default target is -11, but you can adjust that number. You select target lufs and run the loudest part of your track for about 5 seconds and the loudness of the whole track is adjusted up or down to suit.

[@soldierofyhvh5966]

I'd love to know what song is playing in the background @3:57. Thanks in advance!

[@DavidC-yu6zu]

Is this available with the Izotope membership?

[@stephenmcnamara9928]

I've noticed (Ozone 10 Advanced) that when using the Master Assistant, the Imager crossover points seem to be the same every time (I took a screen shot and then ran it on a few tracks). When I subsequently run "learn", the crossover points change from what appears to be a default "Assistant" setting. If that's a feature not a bug, it doesn't seem to make sense -- the Imager should be running the "learn" feature as part of the assistant, otherwise, what is the point of "learning"?

[@takebackthecrownmovie6557]

Did rugs replace Final Mix?

[@filkertom]

... and if I want to normalize to -14 LUFS?

[@iZotopeOfficial]

Hello. You can head into the Maximizer and set the threshold to maintain roughly -14 LUFS using the Learn Threshold control.

[@abkk456]

😍😍😍

[@aftertheshowmoviepodcast]

Quick question can you use this on spoken word? I do not see a target for that on the left.

[@SumnSumnSumnHTK]

use nectar for spoken word

[@JeremyHalterman]

@@SumnSumnSumnHTK Nectar is intended for mixing, not mastering. I'd also like to see a spoken word target for things like podcasts and KZbin videos, and also a "film/movie' target that assumes you're mastering a score and dialogue together.

[@SumnSumnSumnHTK]

@@JeremyHalterman you don't really have to master spoken word tho. I literally only use nectar 3 for voiceovers on KZbin. It works great.

[@JustMamba]

I'm also not understanding what you need to master for spoken word, or dialog in general. When you are mixing it, you are essentially mastering it as well. There are dialog options in neutron and nectar I believe. No need for a master.

[@JeremyHalterman]

Mixing and mastering are two different parts of the process, and while mastering can be exceedingly subtle (tonally, that is-loudness adjustments can be less subtle, but I assume you’re all at least normalizing your audio to a loudness target) on things like podcasts or talking-head-style videos with mostly dialogue and maybe a little background music, it can be very helpful to use a little EQ, multiband compression, and limiting to create a sense of cohesion between the different tracks/sources. I “master” everything that has more than a single audio track, even if it’s just massaging the master bus on the same project I mix in. I’m not judging anyone who chooses not to do this, but I don’t feel like my clients have gotten their money’s worth until I’ve added that last bit of glue/polish and made sure I’m hitting the loudness standard for whatever platform I’m exporting for.

[@mauvaisegraine2645]

It's crazy

[@jonsimmons3823]

Yes.

[@WBCStudio.]

No stand alone = no upgrade.

[@djmagnusmusic]

No captions (CC) enabled for this video!! I could not follow the voice 100% as am hard of hearing! Please in future enable captions (CC) for all of your tutorial & product review videos!! Thank you!

[@gggz420]

bro if you couldn’t hear what he was saying you shouldn’t even be working on music. seriously dude😂 if you can’t hear simple speech how would you be able to eq and master a song?

[@djmagnusmusic]

@@gggz420 You got it totally wrong mate, misinformed. Music is for everyone to enjoy, learn, hear, play and dance, no discrimination. One has to figure out a way to do it their own way. Am hard of hearing (hearing loss) from birth. I was just asking for it (CC) just to be able to follow the video tutorial 100% to be sure I did not miss out what the tutor had to say in the background (person not seen in the video) about the tips of using 'New Master Assistant in Ozone 10', that's all. I can follow the rest. Which then I can improvise to learn, play and test the rest on my own using my available hearing and know how in the studio. I can eq and master based on my hearing, learning experiences and know how of practice etc thank you very much.

[@scotthstevenson]

how does it allow me to pick a "section" of my own reference track ? thanks.

[@iZotopeOfficial]

It doesn’t. You will have to create a loop or cycle in the DAW which contains the heaviest or loudest portion of the track you want Ozone’s Master Assistant to learn on.

[@scotthstevenson]

@@iZotopeOfficial what if the heaviest and loudest portion of my track and the loudest and heaviest portion of my reference track don't marry up in the timeline ?

[@iZotopeOfficial]

Are you referring to the import reference feature in the target section of Master Assistant?

[@scotthstevenson]

@@iZotopeOfficial yes! When I import my own reference track to get ozone10 to AI match its qualities to my song in my daw.

[@iZotopeOfficial]

Understood. During the learn animation, Ozone is intelligent enough to seek the loudest part of the track and analyze it for 8 seconds.

[@DanaVastman]

Not having a STAND ALONE version PISSES ME OFF! This is this ONLY way I use Ozone... Will NOT be upgrading AGAIN

[@metrowater2819]

Boo hoo

[@zamokwakheshezi6798]

Who cares

[@DrayClay]

Boring song example again. Come on, give us something more unique.

[@tjandhuri]

Everytime I use the assistant it just continously puts my master over 0db I honestly think ozone ten is a downgrade

[@cyybot]

uohhhh

THE PROGRAM SUCKS ON WINDOWS 7 DOES NOT EVEN GO

[@PacificBird]

I know we all loved win 7, but you cannot expect developers to maintain new software for an unmaintained OS

[@jcout25]

Just use windows 10, you dinosaur.

[@mega-xaoc-zero]

@@jcout25 Yes, I'm a dinosaur, windows 7 is also a dinosaur, but it - windows 7 supports all old programs and games. And even some new ones. I'll tell you what, why manufacturers are forcibly pushing us into an operating system that can't even cope with my tasks. Here's what I'll say, they limit our choice, but you could just release with support for both win7 and win 10.11. And it's possible, believe me.

[@MohamedBGB]

With all due respect This is another sales pitch, with fancy words that don't make sense from an artistic standpoint
