Use of Mastering Plugin - Songs vs. Master
Posted: Thu Jun 14, 2018 1:06 pm
Everyone may have a different way of doing this, but maybe there's a consensus on best practices ...
I use Ozone 6 in mastering in the Project page: For an album, should I put instances of Ozone on individual songs AND on the Master bus; or just use Ozone on the Master, to apply the same limiting and processing to all songs; or only insert it on the individual songs?
If I use it on both songs and the Master, should the Ozone instance on the Master maybe use only the Maximizer function?
Or should I put Ozone on the main bus of the Song page when exporting the song’s mixdown to a stereo wav for including on the album in the Project page? And then use Ozone only on the Master for the album?
… And is there even any need to create an “album” if you’re just going to put the songs on a website anyway? I might make a tiny number of CDs I suppose ….
I'd love your thoughts!
