Waves.
S1 - LinLowband - LinBroadband - LinMultiband - L2
That's how (one way) you master. |

the real benefit to t-racks is integrating the entire mastering process into 1 app with lots of prests so u can bang stuff out quickly without thinking too much. you can obviouly use the components separately but i think that kind of defeats the purpose.
personally i'd mix and match- useb the compressors, limiters, eq's from whatever brands. dont limit yourself to thinking waves is the best so use waves only plugins. |

| I mean there isnt better than one another. Its just different. They pretty much aim to do the same exact thing. Is to just Boost Levels without clipping and give you a nice Dynamic Range in your mix. They both are confusing if you never used them before. T-Racks is pretty Good. Ozone is pretty good as well. I used T-racks before and ive used Ozone. Ozone had a different User Interface than T-racks, but is roughly the ssame thing.. |

You mean limit dynamic range. "Mastering" isn't giving you MORE dynamics, it's just mushing it all together so it sounds lounder. |

Oh man, there is just so much scary advice in this thread that I want to cry.
I guess the bottom line is to just not think about mastering plugins until your mixdown is as good as its going to get. And even then I would probably recommend you to drop your mixdowns over at Metropolis or somewhere and get one of their engineers to do it for you. At least until you can learn about the mathematics behind digital audio and sound in general.
At a mastering studio you have this guy tweaking your mix with super training and super ears, listening on rigs that cost a hundred times more than your bedroom monitors, in a room with perfect acoustics. If anyone is in a position to get it right, they are.
Otherwise you can do it yourself and make a mess of things and spend alot of money on an app like Ozone, not use a 1/100th of its capabilities and end up with a ter sounding tune because you did something like dither an already dithered, bit reduced, downsampled render.
Can you imagine the horrors. I don't even think about mastering except to read about it and to work on test tones. The idea of mastering my own still flawed mixdowns) is just too mind boggling to think about at this early stage in my learning. I would just it up. And unless you are even close to a sound engineer in terms of knowledge theres a good chance you will it up too.
Spend the money on drugs instead. I hear its the secret ingredient that makes average producers into music making gods. |

But mastering means you make it all better! Once you bounce out of Reason, you master it. DUH! You just pop it into Ozone and click the "Dance" preset and you're done!
Jeeze. :rolleyes: |

| I have to agree with the later comments. Forget about mastering, and focus on the mixdown. And before that, focus on the music. |

It's like a revalation for me. I've been having such a hard time creating recently. And I've figured it out.
First of all depression. But Im on pills so that will clear up soon along with counsoling.
But more importantly. I've been being obsessiven compulsive about mixing correctly. I have been too attnetion to detail, and I haven't been focusing on banging out a tune.
mixing, I'll do it later.
