We really should focus on making better mixes.Amen brother. I think that amateurs should have only the basic (so called) mastering tools (limiter, eq, maybe a subtle coloring fx). until I listened to it again the next day (and it was too late). I quickly ruined a mix some years ago, I was thrilled by the exciters and the multibands and everything and all sounded so much better instantly. I think Ozone is evil in the hands of an amateur :D But have cash on hand, because you're going to want it after you try it! :DUse better recording and mixing instead, then identify what still needs done, and determine if Alloy or Ozone is the right plug to use. Check out their demo, it's 10-days I believe. They really do compliment one another quite well. Ozone is pretty heavy on performance, so it's best left on a master track - while Alloy has a lighter footprint but offers virtually everything Ozone does. I'm sure it's static distortion and not dynamic, but there's SO many options and SO many tweaks within each algo that it's retarded. Both for a guitar amp (not so much the cabs) but the distortion is at home on ANY channel. As other things like nebula, UAD, Soundtoys decap get more play on other channels.Īnother GREAT one is Trash. Like subtle spread in the high end that's based on an LFO to give randomness, which I equate to HW outboard.Īlloy I use on synths and synth busses all the time. I usually only use Spectron for freq dependent panning. I think Schwa has something that's similar but it's Not too easy to use, or it doesn't have efx in the actual plug. Spectron is one of the easiest spectral type efx I've dealt with. Now with v 4 and that tweak from the preset page it's like Instant flavor.

The limiter isn't even needed, it can do massive coloring that you didn't even know was possible on the song in question. Ozone ALL versions can do wonders for a buss or master buss. But have cash on hand, because you're going to want it after you try it! :D

So Alloy is used during the creation of a track, while Ozone is a mastering stage tool. Ozone is designed for adding the final layer of polish to a completed mix, while Alloy is designed to shape and enhance individual tracks and busses during the mixing process." "Ozone and Alloy are designed to complement one another perfectly. gotta put that tax return cash to good use! ) they're transparent while offering spectacular levels of control! I'll have to look into Spectron. So what do you use instead of Ozone/Alloy? I could never imagine selling these plugs. If you don't have it already, i recommend spectron highly. I just sold my izotope stuff not too long ago.
