Mastering with Ozone 12 Course

Explore Ozone 12 by adding core, modern, and vintage processors—from equalizers, dynamic processors to imager and saturation—and try pultec, exciter, and tape emulations to shape warmth and brightness.

Master the Ozone 12 equalizer for mastering, using low/high shelves, bell EQs, high/low pass filters, and tonal balance with vocal corrections and target matching.

Learn practical low-end equalization using low shelf boosts, selective high-pass and dynamic EQ, with digital versus analog filters, phase considerations, and safe low-end shaping for bass-heavy tracks.

Master compression fundamentals and multi-band techniques in ozone, using splits, sidechaining, and attack–release settings to shape groove with kick, bass, and piano.

Discover how multiband compression reshapes lows, mids, and highs, using presets and envelope mode to tame bass, balance energy, and brighten the mix.

Load and compare reference tracks using Ozone 12's built-in referencing tool or Metric AB adapter to align EQ, levels, spectrum, and stereo image for your master.

Master match EQ in ozone 12 by using spectrum snapshots and gain match, align LUFS with reference tracks, and refine with smoothing and amount.

Explore the stabilizer in mastering for house music, as you balance bass, mids, and highs to fit the ideal curve, with cut mode and automation options.

Master dynamic EQ to boost the low end while cutting it, dynamically attenuate harsh high frequencies, and use an exciter to restore high-end brightness.

Explore impact’s four-band dynamic shaping to boost or cut bands, sync envelopes to tempo, and refine the bass with post‑impact control for a cohesive, auto mode mix.

Master spectral shaper in your mastering chain to subtly remove harshness and resonances, using region and amount controls, fast attack with moderate release, and mid-side options for transient clarity.

Explore the low end focus module, a 256-band processor that shapes bass by envelope instead of traditional eq, focusing up to 300 hz and offering punchy and smooth delta modes.

Boost the bass with the bass control module, shaping low end and kick balance using delta mode, peak management, and clean pick control.

Learn to restore dynamics and transients with ozone 12's unlimited and delta mode, by setting threshold near peaks, balancing input/output gain and gain matching.

Shows a case study of indie electronica mastering, detailing a chain from gain matching and dynamic eq to spectral shaper, vintage warmth, master rebalance, and analog vibe.

Explore a techno/trance mastering case study with ozone 12, shaping a rough mix via mono and side eq, high-pass, mid/high boosts, dynamics, and vintage tape warmth.

This chain for a dance pop track in Ableton Live applies eq, dynamics, rebalance, tape, imager, spectral shaper, exciter, limiter, and maximizer to boost drums and brightness while reducing harshness.
