Common issues include true peak clipping, poor EQ balance, too much compression, and phasing.Decluttering a mix, in fact, can be a real hassle, especially if you don’t have the tools necessary to easily identify problems and fix them.Mastering The Mix’ EXPOSE 2 lets you catch many of the common issues associated with mixing before you release your projects. Best of all, it’s very easy to use.Once a track has been loaded up inside EXPOSE 2, you can choose a preset (based on where your music will be heard – CD, Spotify, YouTube, etc.) and load up a reference track (or genre specific preset), consult the readings (loudness, peaks, stereo / phase, dynamic range), identify and isolate the issues, check your tonal balance, and match the loudness.All in all, EXPOSE 2 comes with Compare EQ, Loudness Match, and Analysis Feedback. It will measure loudness range, integrated LUFS, short term LUFS, decibel true peak (16x oversampling), sample peak, left / right heat map, correlation heat map, and short-term dynamic range.EXPOSE 2 is a handy plugin, just as described. Mastering is an art and a science, and it’s easy to get wrong and often hard to get right.

The Sonnox Oxford Limiter Plug-In, developed from decades of professional audio experience to provide a very high degree of quality and facility in program loudness control and limiting functions. Having crafted and refined your mix, join the growing number of professionals who have made the Oxford Limiter their default last insertion on stereo groups and mix buses alike. Whether you're after transparent peak limiting, loudness maximization or heavier creative effects, this Plug-In delivers. Advanced look-ahead processing and the unique Enhance function provide the sample-value limiting needed to reliably avoid clipping. Meter for and automatically correct otherwise invisible reconstruction overloads to confidently produce maximum levels and punch, whilst retaining clarity and transient detail. By employing highly accurate logarithmic side chain processing, along with innovative adaptive timing functionality using look ahead signal acquisition, the limiter provides exemplary performance, whether one is seeking general transparent level control, program loudness maximization or heavily applied artistic sound effects. Unique processing in the form of the Enhance function provides the sample value limiting needed to reliably avoid overloads in digital workstation environments and allows unprecedented volume and punch to be applied to program beyond that available from conventional limiting functions. Comprehensive metering is provided which displays not only conventional peak sample value, but additionally allows the user to monitor the true validity of the program in order to avoid the generation of damaging reconstruction overloads in the target equipment which are often invisible during production (sometimes termed 'inter sample peaks'). A further function allows the user to dynamically correct for reconstruction overloads in real time, thereby achieving maximum possible modulation levels without the risks of producing illegal signals often associated with compression and limiting. Comprehensive dithering functionality with selectable and variable depth noise shaping ensures first class mastering output quality in either 24 bit or 16 bit modes.

Ozone is 1/3 the price and has so many more functions. Am I crazy? Your thoughts... ? I recently had a chance to try the new L3s and they sounded much better, specially the new L3-16. Is it my impression or someone had the same feelings? Registered User Joined: Jul 2006 Posts: 224 🎧 15 years Just try the demos, dude: Sonnox Oxford PluginsI like the Inflator right before the limiter on heavy rocky stuff. It seems to smooth out the distortion from the A/D and can add quite a bit of level (so that you don't need to hit the A/D as hard). And at this stage it can really be controlled via the "Curve" control.If you're having a tough time getting the level you want go for the limiter. It's great. But if you have no problem getting your levels where you want them without much compromise the limiter won't do much. At least, not nearly as much as the Inflator.In regards to the Ozone comment, I think if you're using all plug-ins, or doing mastering at an amateur or semi-pro. level, the iZotope Ozone would be the best bargain for you. But as a link in your chain the Ozone is more like a bunch of cheap tools whereas the Sonnox stuff is very, very nice. Also, it'll keep its value whereas the resell on Ozone is...well...you can guess... And Ozone can't touch the Inflator. No contest, there.Good luck, and remember... Try the demos, dude!

Will be happy to see this – Softube’s line by line code port of the legendary mastering processor, the Weiss DS1-MK3 VST plugin.This unit offers mastering compression, limiting, and de-essing at the highest level. And it even comes bundled with the Weiss MM-1 Mastering Maximizer, Weiss Deess, and Weiss Compressor / Limiter plugins.Heard on virtually every mainstream release you can name, the Weiss DS1-MK3 plugin is officially licensed and endorsed by Daniel Weiss. It’s the same processor as the $10,000 original, it offers de-ess, compression, and limiting, and it processes at resolutions up to 32bit / 192 kHz.It comes with advanced metering waveform view, all-new presets from Bob Katz, versatile de-essing, digital compression, Weiss original limiter algorithms as well as new ones, and more.My impression of the Weiss DS1-MK3 is that it’s relatively transparent, but it can also add some serious punch to your mixes, breathe life into your tracks, and add some glittery high-end shimmer. The video below should give you a good idea.Learn more: Plugin BoutiqueDynOne by Leapwing AudioLeapwing Audio’s DynOne is an award-winning dynamic processor. Grammy-winning mastering engineer Bob Ludwig liked that it did dynamic compression differently, mastering engineer Seth Drake said DynOne got him to 80% of his default mastering chain using only the faders in 10 minutes, and Grammy-nominated producer and mix engineer Greg Wells said it was “love at first listen.”This smart parallel multi-band dynamics processor comes with a resizable retina design, variable crossover filters, weighting algorithm, Center-Side Mode, min-max values for attack and release, and variable timing values.Overall, you get five bands with custom linear-phase crossover filters, variable RMS vs peak detection, and stereo linking percentages.DynOne may be simple, but it is more than competent. It can add some serious punch to your mixes while giving them the shimmer they need to be on par with commercial releases.Also check out the video below to see what DynOne can do.Learn more: Plugin BoutiqueOxford Limiter V3 by SonnoxSonnox is well-known for their Oxford series of plugins and their Oxford Limiter V3 might be just what you need to increase the loudness of your mix, give it more density, and add some much-needed presence while keeping the clarity and detail you’ve worked hard to preserve.This true peak limiter offers precise processing and metering accuracy to ensure the result is exactly what you want.
