Izotope Ozone 5 Mastering Presets [UPDATED] Download Free
Marquetta Marteney
The mastering presets are a mixed bunch, I usually start off with the Pop preset and then start tweaking it and usually revert back because I bypass EQ, Exciter, Dynamics and sometime end up with everything bypassed ...
Believe it or not, I can do a better job mastering completely deaf using visual displays, targeted measurements, and the correct tools for the job then I can using the presets in Ozone. Of course I don't advise this for anyone, especially someone just getting into mastering but I say it because much of the mastering process is about targeting specific goals.
I do find Ozone difficult to use "properly" over other mastering tools I have available. The EQ and limiter are fairly straight forward, but the multiband is pretty tricky to get right, but it can be done. I don't like the harmonic crap. If my mix lacks air I'd rather fix it in the mix. Those kinds of plugins cause more trouble then good and should be used with prudence. The reverb in ozone sucks. I couldn't get a decent sound out of it on anything, besides, reverb is better in the mix where you can apply it to individual instruments. Used mastering it makes everything from the kick to cymbals swell and wash out.
I don't use mastering presets. Not because I'm a snob, but because every project has different requirements. For me, it would take more time to try to bend a preset into what I want then just edit the parameters from scratch. The consider EQ the most important component in mastering, and no way a preset will do what you need unless you get lucky and just happen to hit something that works.
