Groove3 Mixing with Ozone 10 Explained TUTORiAL

Although Ozone 10 is often used for audio mastering purposes, it excels for mixing purposes as well. In this Ozone 10 video course from mixing expert Larry Holcombe, you'll learn how to use the various tools of Ozone 10 to create the perfect mix - from gain-staging to bus processing and more. Learn how to treat and process each instrument (or group of instruments) and discover several tips and strategies for getting the most out of every element, whether it's a featured sound or a supportive one. What's better is that you'll have access to all the audio files from the session, so you can make all the same adjustments and hear the results in your own DAW. These videos are for intermediate mixing engineers and Ozone 10 users.

Larry begins by addressing the all-important task of gain-staging, assuring that you have proper starting levels across the board. You'll also hear the finished mix, so you'll have an idea of where you're headed by the end. Then, it's on to adjusting volume and panning, concentrating on creating a nice front-back perspective and a balanced stereo mix. After that, Larry reaches for the EQ. Using Ozone's Equalizer module, he first focuses on the foundational kick and snare sounds, reinforcing their impact while attenuating other areas to make some space. The Vintage EQ module is then employed for the bass, guitars, synths, and vocals to create clarity while also removing some harshness with surgical notches.

Explore drum compression next, where you'll learn how to use transient levels to create front-back perspective and set musical release times that enhance the groove. Larry then follows suit with the other instrument groups, compressing them individually and as bussed groups to help create a 3D mix space.

For the remainder of the course, you'll cover many other topics, including vocal compression, additive EQ and excitation, parallel compression, bus processing, a mastering chain, and more!
