WATCH ME MASTER WITH OZONE 9 (start to finish) | How To Master Music With Ozone 9

[@Streaky_com]

Hope you like this, I’ve been wanting to have a play with this for a while..don’t be too harsh to me in the comments it’s my first go with ozone...😂😂🤦‍♂️

[@theofficialraysr]

The best content yet! Love to see you work

[@Zenvo-uu9tm]

No worries it went so smooth lol

[@nebstaism]

Hey streaky really good vid! ...what are your mastering monitors called?

[@rodaneblackwood1079]

Thanks Streaky!!

[@JesusArmasOficial]

Really entertaining to watch. Love your content. I’ve learned tons of great stuff about mastering thanks to you.

[@kizzanamer6107]

Honestly mate, your videos are what I've been needing for a while. There isn't anyone out there who will actually show the technical aspects of polishing up a master. Everyone only knows the theory of making it loud, but not the practical aspect of adding flavour and clarity

[@emericas9]

Him, Matthew Weiss and Yoad Nevo are my go to’s for everything!

[@cashmir5883]

Just contact me if you need help making everything too loud.

[@OverdriveMusic]

Streaky's free workshops are amazing! I'm so grateful for watching. I learned so much!

[@themikeymaulerproject527]

I'd like to see you take the same track and use the built in automated Mater Assistant and compare and evaluate its performance??

[@Skimatik_DnB]

Good call ✌️

[@noahwallace3458]

i up vote this

[@You-ud2fp]

Why? It's meant to be a starting point, not the finished master.

[@themikeymaulerproject527]

To get an opinion on the quality of the matter assistant... why not?

[@You-ud2fp]

@@themikeymaulerproject527 Master assistant doesn't master your music, it just gives you a starting point for mastering. Just like neutron track assistant gives you a starting point for mixing.

[@FusedMusic]

Absolutely brilliant. Can't thank you enough for keeping things simple and easy for us "padawans" to follow. Love your work, sir. Please keep downloading your brain!

[@FectoReviews]

Just heard this track in a commercial on TV. Awesome! Thanks for the tutorials Streaky

[@knickerbockers2010]

hey man you are my saviour...i worked 6 months recording and all songs sounded like shit and i started to think that i cant sing...then i followed this video and copied the settings...suddenly all masters are 80% better....voice finally not dull and clear and all music is punchy and not dark. u r a master of mastering

[@JaredBullerMusic]

This is so SO helpful! I really appreciate how you balance between using your technical knowledge and ears when mastering. Honestly, if you hadn't have said you only had a few minutes with ozone before this video I would have had NO idea. You were using it as if you had been using it for years. I also admire the way you approach mastering. I have a tendency to make the track as loud as possible, but end up missing so many steps along the way (like filtering the super low boomy frequencies like you did). I think the most important thing I learned from you is to not overthink every little thing in every plugin. More times than not I end up ruining my mix with either crazy EQ cuts or wacky Exciter settings that over saturate the snot out of my mix. All in all I really appreciate you sharing your knowledge and passion with us. Thank you!

[@Jgasky]

Hey streaky ! It would be amazing if you made a video to show us the best way to achieve -8dB without destroying the dynamics! Thank you ! I love your videos!

[@binary-me]

Great video, Streaky. Something fun to do with this is mute the manual ozone, add another , use the 'Master Assistant ' and then compare them : D

[@ashiyarimusic]

Been coming back to this video!! Always gives me a super rich master.

[@MrMindmist]

I thought you were just a crafty cockney but I eat my hat and label you a genius :) so very very inspiring ! thank you mate.

[@checktheneck]

18:56 the limiter in this setting literally does not affect the original signal in any way, because the peaks don't reach the threshold.

[@Streaky_com]

Yep this was work in progress 😂😂 you win the special prize for finding the on purpose error 😳🤦‍♂️😂😂

[@muitosabao]

So why does this it still make it sound louder? (sorry, noob)

[@supremo-official]

@@muitosabao It's bringing up the overall volume, but it's not loud enough to trigger the limiter's threshold (in this case -0.1 dB)

[@muitosabao]

@@supremo-official ah OK gotcha. So the original comment is not quite true (hence my confusion) as it is indeed affecting the original signal (increasing its volume)

[@supremo-official]

@@muitosabao yes exactly but no compression is happening

[@flowmaka]

You are an absolute genius and a humble one as well. I love watching your tutorials because you make this process make sense!!! Very intuitive my friend!!! God Bless you!!!

[@LostInAce]

Boom! I've got Ozone 9 Advance and this is the best in depth video I've watched. Thanks again, Streaky!

[@yony_music]

Wow, this made the track so much better! I especially love the way you ised the eq, It brought so much punsh and clarity to the mix!

[@nouseforaname4266]

Total and simple explanation of how to do things ITB. Thanx Streaky, you rock!

[@555atU]

First timer here.... It was very helpful to just watch you do your thing without drowning in narration. Thanks for sharing!

[@daveaugustcomposes]

I got hooked to this song while you were mastering it. And that’s ultimately the point isn’t it.

[@austinsummersofficial631]

Amazing the way you master. I keep learning a bit more every day every time I watch you.

[@billromberg2327]

Thanks for the honest session. I'm just new to DAW, recording and mixing. Just finishing my first song and just got Izotope Pro. This will really help me understand what to look for and how to use the different options in Ozone. Really appreciate this video.

[@Musician_Robert]

Hey Streaky, Your studio looks beautiful. Love those speakers. All the best for 2021!!! Sincerely, Rob (Canada!! , born in UK)

[@ClotsVid]

Excellent! Brought a smile to my face to see the subtle changes and hear the difference! Thanks!

[@tompreston3880]

Probably one of the best videos I've ever seen on KZbin

[@solo4227]

best content on Ozone on YT

[@2ql]

I'm finishing the song and will definitely have Streaky do the mastering because I don't have enough experience myself. He is a true master!🤩

[@markthomas7263]

Love you vibe and honesty mate. I can appreciate the gems of info you provide in this tutorial,,, priceless.

[@TheScotty446]

Love the videos Streaky!! I think a few others in the comments have mentioned this but your voice compared to the track is much louder, makes it harder to hear what you are doing to the track, and a gate on your voice to get rid of the noise/his might not be a bad idea :) Regardless its great you're going full wack into youtube, cant wait to see more videos!

[@Streaky_com]

I’ll pass your comments onto to Matt he’s the editing genius 👍

[@AnthonyJimenez313]

been killing it streaky! your voice is taking over the audio in the video... hard to hear the changes

[@GregLassalle2015]

Awesome!!! The balance between voice and music from 13:00 is ideal. It was a little difficult to hear what the changes were before without the voice being incredibly loud. 👍🏾

[@GregLassalle2015]

Thank you so much. Great info and easy to follow.

[@youngselfofficial893]

Thanks for the video ! Nice demonstration of your work. Here's what you could put in and make me (and certainly others) watch for easily hours more : your thoughts on Ozone's tools, a comparison between Ozone and a mastering chain that would be more "yours" or custom (you don't even have to drop all your sauce there!), and also a comparison with Ozone's AI auto mastering! Can'T wait to learn from your next video! - Shoutout from Montreal.

[@c4197f]

Wow... just wow. Thank you so much for doing this!

[@radiofaber]

This is gold! Thank you so much Streaky! I just have to say that this is a mix that sounds good already, I'd like to see what you will do to a home made mix scenario, with more problems.

[@bdmax17]

Hey Streaky :D Absolutely love your vids and super interesting to watch and learn all your tips and tricks! I'd be really cool to watch you master a song from begining to end using all your normal equipment (both hardware and software) to see a veteran's process using all the stuff they have :D

[@olivierclasse]

@ben have look here : 3step.streaky.com/ it's the 3 steps mentionned in the video

[@AnyeForti]

you just need to click on the + sign to add bands in the imager plugin

[@paris04]

Solid video. This is how real mastering engineers actually work (and more importantly- think). Pay attention to what he's saying more than the settings themselves- The settings mean nothing to the next track you do. it's about the intention that lands the right settings -time after time.

[@robstaylor4234]

Can you do a video on how to set up Local chains Using isotope And ozone plugins. I have the bundle package 4. I can't really figure out how to set it up to make the computer do most of the work so I can do the fine adjustments myself

[@robstaylor4234]

@Streaky I know neutron 3 will kinda give you some settings already but if you add ozone at the end of the chain it sounds horrible

[@OneDarkMartian]

Awesome video mate, thanks!

[@vanzyli]

Thanks, Streaky... this is excellent. I don't have Ozone, but your video is very informative in terms of mastering principles.

[@jeffcook3277]

Baby, use master assistant to get some basic levels, FIRST! Then go back to their chain and modify that, then you can fool around with all the thing you know about, just add them to the chain. I have found that modifying the input and output channel levels can give me a master that is as loud as I want, but the Ozone comes up with a very usable final product if I allow master assistant to set them first. Also, anytime you modify something in the chain it changes the final mix and anything else in the chain. So, if you start at the beginning of the chain and and start tweaking stuff, that tweak is lost by the time you're at the end of the chain - you modified it by everything you did afterwards. What I found is that if you stray very far from their suggested levels you wreck the whole master. Drums are the perfect example, to stand out everybody likes to overdo them, but with Ozone 9 that just doesn't work. Finally, your output level is too high in your example, bring it down to the input levels, it'll still be loud enough. I've released almost 400 Pond5 mixes with Ozone 9, it's super fast and I always get a strong, loud comparative mix. If it sounds weak, just bring up the output channel, but that never happens to me anymore. That's how I use it. I'm pond5.com/artist/jeff25331.

[@holgerhagmueller]

Awsome video! I learned a lot! Thanks you so much for sharing your knowledge. Greetz from Berlin

[@DrBrunoDzogovic]

Ozone have very good algorithms behind their software. Transparent and clear as a tear. If one looks into plugins that emulate hardware closer and color the sound in a certain way (like the Nomad Factory), then Ozone might not be the best choice thus. But for mastering and even mixing in a transparent way, very few other plugins can match Ozone.

[@costinvaly1]

You're awesome Streaky! Big thank you for making such knowledge accessible online.

[@krazees2002]

I appreciate you sharing your knowledge man! This is dope. Learning a lot and loving the content.

[@AndreMixedIt]

I love the video. I don’t like the concept of “I normally wouldn’t go as quick as this” we’re here to see how you would use Ozone 9. Go slow it’s alright. We want to see how YOU use the plug-in.

[@ptbempire]

Wow dude I love love this channel! Great content bro I subbed I am still learning but you are helping me big time

[@ehulsizer1]

Hi @streaky -- at around 15:00 where you want to bring the vocals out more, is there a reason you don't use your resonance / razorblade EQ trick from your SUBTRACTIVE EQ video? Thanks.

Thanks! Great explanations. Appreciate your willingness to share your knowledge.

[@TGmusiclive]

Thanks for being an example for us Streaky

[@mallek1989]

I’m not sure if you mentioned this or not in the video, but I think it’s important for the people watching this to understand that this was mastered for quality and not for loudness. This is what mastering “should” be. Sadly, this isn’t what mastering really is anymore. It’s mostly the same steps, except you’re pumping way harder into the limiter, or softclipping generously, or both, and then attempting to compensate for the crap ton of squashing and harmonic distortion that you’ve just destroyed your track with.

[@markpower7994]

Love these videos, been watching your content a while now. Thank you so much for your teachings. You really have helped me improve my mastering a great deal 🙏💙

[@markbelcher1777]

Thank you for your expertise! I’ve not got a clue, but getting better with your help!

[@musicfromtl2132]

great vid streaky..An ad with "Return of the mac" in the background played which I thought was a cool coincidence

[@7thNoteOfficial]

Streaky is the best hands down

[@mrnelsonius5631]

I’ve compared Ozone’s limiter to several other big ones and I think it’s high quality. Often I prefer it. It can get a bit crispy if you push it hard but all limiters start to artifact when pushed, and they’re all different!!

[@andor3442]

The LoudMax Limiter is actually pretty Clean. Its straightforward and gives the mix nice boost

[@bubz75]

That’s very kind of you to impart your skills and experience for free. 🙏🏾🔥🙏🏾

[@bvrbvs]

Soooo, what's the verdict? Would you master with ozone? Pros and cons from ozone vs your std workflow?

[@Streaky_com]

No because I like using definite sounding stuff rather than one sound but it’s got all the bits you need, just not the different flavours

[@hankslapper]

I think the "Maximizer" is better than vintage limiter for this kind of track. I enjoyed watching this. I hope you make more of these. Would be nice to see hot to master for Spotify.

[@wdkbeats]

The Maximizer module gives much better results than the Vintage Limiter, you should give it a try ;)

[@HornetBojan]

Great video ... I'm doing 90% right:)) The one thing I don't use is EQ mid - side and almost never widening of the mix, because you have your mix instantly "un-glued" and you're loosing power if it's a dance track ... When you put in to the chain EQ2 module (mid-side eq) does the changes in this module (mid-side) effect also the whole stereo mix and this is just "listening from the side" or this actually effects only sides of the master mix? Thanks again for great video.

Hey streaky - you didnt do any gain reduction on the limiter there - you werent touching the audio yet, just gaining it up. No worries

On the dynamic portion where you brought the low end down, why did you do that in dynamics instead of taking away the bell you put on the kick in the EQ?
