One of the greatest engineers. Helped me get my game up. But that song is dope. Sound a little like Miguel

[@SeanDivine]

🙏 always enjoy working with Reggie. Extremely talented.

[@laszlocsikos189]

Very nice sounding track/mix!

[@maggamorenostyles8907]

Wtf... Couldn't believe my eyes at the Master Rebalance part.... Great tool as dope🔥🔥

[@Alex_Black]

I recently checked out your video with mastering with logic stock plugins and it was fantastic. I checked out this video today and took the plunge on getting 9 Advanced, threw a rough track (that I still need to do a lot more tracking and mixing on) just to play around with Ozone. Holy crap. First time after years of trying that I've been able to get a big sound with competitive loudness that I've been looking for! I just plugged in a reference track of a similar genre and I'm finding that in a totally backwards way, reverse engineering this is allowing me to think about my mix a bit more before it's actually ready for this plugin. I can't thank you enough for these videos. I'm a musician that's usually on the road and thanks to the pandemic, I've been missing the stage a lot and stuck at home, using the time to learn how to make my own songs sound the way I hear them in my head. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and making the last year a little less shitty!

[@markmessina100]

i find the most challenging thing about mastering a full project is making sure the volume levels are consistent throughout, the option to upload a reference track template when mastering is so amazing

[@kevinnedelec]

Really nice demo. Rebalancing the vocals, bass or drum is clearly outstanding

[@KaitavSapreMusic]

Excellent tutorial for an amazing plugin. Really enjoyed watching your video. Keep up the great work!

[@Xylume]

Great video brother. Just the kind of Ozone 9 video I've been searching for.

[@Jamminn555]

Killer, man. Great walk-through as always. And glad Ozone was smart enough to have you on the Beta team. Looking forward to adding Ozone 9 to my set-up. Cheers brother.

[@SeanDivine]

Benjamin Bidlack appreciate it Benjamin! 🙌👍

Great review Sean. This review has helped me out a lot in understanding Ozone 9 Advanced. 👍🏽

[@breezyoakk]

I'm really surprised by the low end focus and the mastering rebalance! Very revolutionary and easy to use

*Sean Divine* , You just helped me decide to upgrade to Ozone 9 at this time. Thank you for the great video!

[@Ayo_Mirza]

Yo that master re-balance is crazy

[@aarongrabham4412]

With master rebalance can u change each of the parts separate

[@prodbyjshep]

@@aarongrabham4412 i don’t think you actually can? As when I turn down the vocals to -2db it’ll do the same with the bass and the drums. Not sure what I’m doing wrong lol

[@von_Apa]

As always a great video! Upgrade seems to be a no doubt! :)

[@JTFuller]

RAW man, that is a nice track too.

[@theherbiebrown]

This video is pretty dope. The song smacks too. Thank you for this walkthrough.

WOW!!! This was so educating, i really learned so much for this!! Thank you for sharing!!!!

[@peterlambros]

Great video Sean. Beautifully explained. Also, thank you for clarifying the stereorize option; I have seen a few videos where people insist this option must be turned on in order for imager to work.

[@SeanDivine]

thanks Peter, glad it was helpful

Super video! 👍🏻

[@GLOCKSUGAR]

Thanks for taking my mastering to the next level!

Thank You! I got a lot out of this session. Self taught on recording analog, now using Logic ProX. I used Ozone 7 a few years back but for dynamic tweaking down a hot mix..

[@remi5432]

I love the new Ozone 9. I have used it for years. They made a lot of smart developments.

Nice tutorial! keep them coming

[@laughtraxmusic]

Thanks for the video my dude! Good stuff. Just bought myself a copy of the music production suite 3 and everything is so clean and helpful. Ozone 9 is legit, although it takes a TON of cpu and I have a Ryzen 7 1800x too.. lol. You have to be careful not to add too many izotope products on your tracks.

[@siphomthiyane7126]

Mane this thing is dope

thumbs up! thanks for sharing

Thanks so much, those kind of videos save hours from learning.. great how u explain it 👍👍

[@Carlo_030]

Thanks Sean! Great! Btw nice pullover:)

[@Tolen]

This is awesome!! Im great at mixing but mastering isnt too good so now that im aware of this, it really helps! Especially if im going for mastering an album to have the same eq curve for each song!

[@SeanDivine]

the EQ match is a very useful starting point! Quick note: every song is (and should be) fundamentally different in terms of frequency, so just be careful not to stay too strict to always matching curves :)

[@Tolen]

Sean Divine thank you!

[@antonmishin4207]

thanks dude that was useful!

The fact that the 'Reference' in mastering assistant includes the option for Streaming or CD is more flexible and cool.

Glad you like them!

[@larrycavallucci3258]

I had Ozone 9 Standard and earlier this wk, upgraded to Advanced. Just paid the difference in the price, $200. ONE thing I think Sean failed to mention on the Rebalance module. I believe that you can only do ONE of the three options. And I HOPE that at a later date, Izotope figures out a way to do all three. I watched another YT video on this product the other day, and that presenter said only ONE can be used. Can't add a 2nd Advanced plugin either, so hopefully when I use it for the first time, this afternoon!!!!, I will just have to select the one of the three that needs adjusting the most! It is however, a super duper mastering device, all in all. OH...a thought.....maybe if you need to increase the vocal and decrease the bass or drums, you can do it with the Low End Focus section. I will try that out today.

[@CHISENGA]

Thank you dude. Long live Divine...

thanks so much dude I've been learning sooo much! really appreciate you taking the time to teach mixing. anyway i can send you the track i mix and mastered for some feedback ?

this sht crazy i gotta buy ozone 9 now

[@bikesnbeerz]

I thumbed up before it began.

[@tonyogar6936]

Thanks Sean. Great Video. I'm particularly happy that they've incorporated the Rebalance into Ozone. It used to be restricted to the iZotope post production software, RX 7; so I'd often have to use RX to balance a stereo mix before pulling it into Ozone.

Hi Joshua, ?? IS THE GAIN MATCH TO BE LEFT ON OR OFF WHEN EXTRACTING A MASTER MIX ???, any help would be appreciated, thanks and keep the great tutorial coming, N.

[@gnmorales1]

I.... NEED... THAT

[@MukeshRathore]

Bro, thanks for the video... have a question. During widening your correlation meter peak was going below zero. Doesn't it bother you? Isn't it an indication of BN phase issue?

[@SeanDivine]

phase correlation metering is not going to be above 0 throughout most mixes unless you have no stereo information - not necessarily an issue, as long as you're listening for actual phase issues.

[@MukeshRathore]

@@SeanDivine Thanks for reply and Happy New Year 😊 I'm not too sure but ihv heard if a track has phase issue and played on speakers then bass frequencies will suffer. Also I'm wondering what is the significance of correlation meter if it's phase indications doesn't bother much. If possible please make a video on this topic with live example. It will be very helpful for people like me 🙏😊

[@flyhigh5755]

Do you add cuts to the 2track beat to help vocals cut through? Or do you do that with the dynamic eq on the whole master?
