Best Mastering Plugins?
Hi,
I bounced a mix down to 16bit 44.1khz recently using PSP Old Timer ('Glue together' preset) followed by Ozone 4 ('CD Master') on the Master Buss and have been pretty happy with the results. Would anyone like to share their favourite RTAS plugs / method for Mastering? I don't use iLok (so I'm not bothered about Waves L2, L3 etc) and I'm particularly interested to know what people think of Massey L2007 in comparison to other Mastering plugs. I like Vintage Warmer a lot but it's lost it's place for me recently. Anyone? |

There's plenty of post already relating to this matter.

I like the McDSP ML4000 a lot for my mastering limiter. I also use the BX Digital, if you want serious mastering M/S, essential. If I want a little saturation to make it sound a bit more analog, URS saturation. The Digi rack 7 band is also really nice if you need to tweak the overall mix eq, and you can use the bx digital for surgical eq.
You really don't need a whole bunch a plug-ins for mastering, just get good ones. Ozone 4 is a really good choice as well. I have used it for quick mastering a bunch and it works pretty great. :D |

Ozone 4 is a fantastic plugin, the more you dig in to this plugin and suss it out the more you will be rewarded.
The Ozone mastering guide is a great read, it will give you a good incite in to mastering and more so mastering with Ozone. It's an easy read and the techniques apply to mastering generally, not just Ozone. IMHO i would not recommend Pro Tools for mastering, the lack of real time bounce really slows things up. My weapon of choice is Peak LE 6 > Ozone 4 > Flux Stereo Tool (Keeps check on phasing). L2007 is a great plugin but it's only a limiter, Ozone has 6 modules and the limiter is just one of them. Nomad Factory Analogue Tools is also worth a look IMHO. |

I recently picked up T-racks by IK Multimedia. I couldn't be happier with it.
