The most useful vid I've seen on the subject, great steers. To go into all the details would take hours.

[@J1SHU]

No B.S, straight to the point.. thats how i want the KZbin videos to be... 💯

[@heavymetalmixer91]

Finally someone explained how this limiter works in an intuitive way, thanks dude. Btw, the Ozone 8 Elements Maximizer also has the "link" button for both Stereo Independence controls.

[@RealHomeRecording]

Elements 8 has Transient and Sustain controls? Good to know, the user manual was wrong then!

[@rusroyce]

Finally someone that knows the plugin inside and out! Thank you!

[@caiyu9373]

but how to set threshold? I still don't know how to use this tool.

[@samm6648]

Incredibly informative but very much to the point. Thanks a lot for doing this mate!

Thanks very helpful video!

[@seanpalmeter]

This is exactly what I needed to see and hear (pun intended). Thanks man!

[@RealHomeRecording]

No problem!

[@MrDeanross]

Well explained thanks

[@hjpoloa]

Thanks for the video! What are the equivalent to the hard and soft modes which were in the in the maximizer version 5?

[@salvodazes]

Thank you for the video. What I don't understand is very basic, with the limiter ceiling set to say -1db, if I get a few true peaks that are red (but seem to be around -0.9db), does that mean I'm potentially clipping? Or is the limiter already taking care of that and making sure I'm not clipping.

[@MunabManay]

Thank you so much bro, you really deserved a sub

[@RealHomeRecording]

Thanks for the sub!

[@Stick3x]

Nice.

[@LightDreamsBand]

thank you!

[@RealHomeRecording]

You're welcome!

[@philfyphil]

Don’t understand when you say you don’t like True Peak! So what do you set it to then? I wish you would play something and adjust it so we can hear what’s going on!

[@Zachfitz33]

tahnkyou maaaaaannnnnnnnn!

[@renanbrito.]

Hey, buddy! Good video! I came across your video because I had a problem with the learn button. My song is clipping for 3 seconds and I don't know what to do to get rid of that clipping.

[@RealHomeRecording]

Did you lower the output ceiling to -1 decibels?

[@3rf4nx91]

ty mate hel palote

[@shubhamlad2102]

Nice

[@RealHomeRecording]

Thanks

[@diegoalejo15]

nice video, so this tool is a maximizer + limiter? or should I add a limiter for mastering?

[@RealHomeRecording]

It's a look ahead brick wall limiter with spectral dynamics. And it works extremely well!

[@jakubbason3122]

No mater what setup i use the ozone maximizer always allows some samples to go over the set celling and they are getting cliped. How can i setup this to have no clipping at all? The thing is i am certainly not going for as loud as possible but want to create dynamic master without clipping on transients.

[@RealHomeRecording]

Even with true peak on?

[@TomRamsayMusic]

I had the same problem make sure the maximizer is the last thing in the chain inside ozone 9

[@renanbrito.]

Same problem here. Have you found a solution.

[@jakubbason3122]

@@renanbrito. Yes. before mastering adjust the gain of the mix so the peaks are about -3dB. Maximizer works much better then.

[@renanbrito.]

@@jakubbason3122, Thank you so much!

[@Watch_me2023]

How do I get max gain with this without it clipping?

[@MilkInTheBowl]

Your mix was probably too quiet to begin with.

[@polaris911]

you didn't explain what the sliders on the I/O panel do or how to choose a value for them

[@zarlok5294]

Just watch them to see if you have any headroom left that you might want to use. If you play with them awhile you’ll get a feel for how to use them. Simply though if you like the result of everything you set up in the controls nothing should be clipping on your output fader and if you want a little more gain try pushing it up a little on the way out till you see the evil red lights at the top and back off till they don’t come back. To clear them after a clip hit just click on them. Regarding input generally leave it at default. This module won’t have anything after it btw.

yo, I need cops of me...ur phone not working?????

[@shahnewazmanto4798]

You love to talk

[@frodo3556]

Maybe a bit too much...

[@listenandgrow4775]

5:00 I never understand that lufs thing. A lot of people say that you should go for -14 lufs for spotify etc. I even watched a video that goes for -14lufs independent from what genre you producing. I went for -14 after I watched that video but my track sounded so "thin". Then I checked various tracks like metal songs and techno and they are very loud like even some metal tracks -3, -5 lufs. I think this value is genre dependent

[@Nova_Afterglow]

Lufs are for sure genre dependent. More aggressive genres will have higher lufs. For example I’ve heard that Borgore can master to -2 lufs, while melodic techno averages about -8.5. I produce big room and try to get about -6.5 lufs, although I’m trying to learn how to squeeze every last luf out. I believe it’s an art form to have absolute max loudness and still have a transparent track. 6.5 is really tough, but I’m learning.

[@dare2funk]

I noticed that too, went for -14, and when it comes up in spotify, after another track from an artist in the same genre, it was super quiet in comparison
