![]() ![]() There are 3 + 1 “main components” that determines a mix and a master (besides instruments and effect plugins like distortion, filter, flanger and alike). I don’t know how much money you want to put into it but I would like to mention some alternatives to iZotope. I will stick with buying the pack wavelab/cubase and maybe after some training i will buy ozone. So, bottom line there is no definitive way to use these programs, it’s more all about your own preferred workflow. Some production music companies actually ask that composers do not master their tracks, as they prefer to do that themselves in post. But now and again you have to go back to Cubase to produce the cut downs. Nine times out of ten I am able to produce these quickly using Wavelab from the full length master which came from Cubase. I do a lot of production music, which requires cut down lengths. ![]() If you have a lower power processor, it may not be too happy with this as Ozone can be quite processor hungry, in which case it would be better to do final mastering later in Wavelab. I tend to master within Cubase, usually using Izotope Ozone as my plugin of choice for final eq and maximizing on the stereo out bus. I expect you will get different answers to this, as there is maybe no hard and fast rule. I know a guy who produces for Disney with Steinberg plugs only. party pluggs ARE better (well you get what you pay for), but if you do not know how to turn the knobs you wont be able to utilize the difference. The skill to tweak them is of more importance. Normally it takes years of ear training to tell the quality in one plug from another. It is matter of liking and on how picky you are in sound. However you will get far, and even most likely to your goal with what is included in Cubase/WaveLab. Personally I find the enclosed presets of no use, but you have all the components that you need inside iZotope to tweak a great master for yourself. (Don’t remember if Cubase has a band compressor)Īs mentioned here iZotope is a great tool. WabeLab has some pluggs that Cubase has not, but that is mostly for noise correction.Ĭubase should work for most productions. I also think leveleing of each track has a better GUI in Wavelab. I find WaveLab to be easier to use when sequencing an album and to get the pauses (or no pauses) in between correct. If you are going to produce a commercial CD you need to code the tracks according to a standard called “The Red Book”.
