the only thing you need is Izotope Ozone 3

this thing works wonders. Its a direct x plug in so it will work in most programs that allow them. I use it with cubase and it gives me freakin wonderful results.



I only use the presets for right now, but thats just because they kick out great mixes. Really gives your bass the kick it needs.



so grab yourself a copy of that and you are set. Or send me a wav and Ill run it through.

Originally posted by Zild I just normalized one of my tracks. I think it just cut the volume quite a bit. Personally I just use the amplify plugin instead. Set the peak amplitute to be 0.0db and thats all.

You could have a handful or even just one or two stray high peaks which then make your whole mix soft, if you normalise in this way. Instead, normalisation is normally done with respect to the average RMS (root mean square) gain of your entire mix, and thus you normalise the RMS to something like -16db.

Strange that that did not happen at all. I guess I don't suck at mixing.

Latest Mix

I haven't mastered a demo/mix before.

I'm very careful about my volume/levelling/eq'ing while DJing so I guess that could be why I don't find it's needed. I always record directly into WaveLab though so maybe that does something.
