Nice one Wasily - will check it out šŸ‘

We really are spoilt on this board with all these member mixes.

          Wasily Yes Mateā€¦.still canā€™t get this on lossless šŸ™

            Wasily this is an excellent mixā€¦ technically perfect, good flow and tunes - well done!

              Jules72 Thanks Jules! Appreciate the FB. Amazing what some decent mastering can doā€¦

                Looks good Alex!. Added to the quite long list of members mixes Iā€™m working my way through at the moment.

                  Btw definitely good idea to shorten a longer mix youā€™re not happy with šŸ‘

                  Alright Iā€™m an ignoramous .. what do the Ozone and compressor do?

                    Jules72 Ozone is a mastering tool. Bit like an intelligent EQ, so you can tweak the mix to add more impact, accentuate vocals etc. A compressor lowers the level of the loudest parts in your mix ā€“ the peaks you see sticking out when you view the waveform. By making them softer (gain reduction), it reduces the overall dynamic range ā€“ that is, the difference between the loudest and quietest sections of a mix/track- thatā€™s especially useful when you overlay 2 tracks during a mix as it reduces the increase in volume that sometimes results, giving you smoother transitions.

                    There are a lot of board members who are much more experienced with these than I am, so maybe they can explain further benefits. Iā€™ve just started using Ozone as have always been impressed with the production on @Kumquat ā€™s mixes and know he often uses it.

                      essentially what they are doing is adjusting the relative volume levels of the high pitched sounds, the low pitched sounds and the medium pitched sounds so that they work in tandem with each other rather than dominating the other bits or getting dominated. So you end up with a full and clear sound where the full range of notes have their own space to breathe and you hear everything youā€™re meant to.

                      In some ways its a bit like the audio equivalent of adding seasoning imo.

                      Thatā€™s my take on it anyway, some of the more accomplished Artistes on here might have a better way of explaining it.

                        WAV version downloaded by the way, looking forward to hitting this up and the next appropriate moment.

                          yeah compression allows you to shrink, or perhaps more accurately control the size of that gap between the quietest bits and the loudest bits. why is that useful, well you might have subtle bits of the track that are not audible or insufficiently audible because theyā€™re drowned out by the loudest bits so you want to be able to manipulate that distance so that the quiet bits are subtle but not inaudible and the loud bits are loud but not excessively so relative to everything else.

                          essentially weā€™re talking about not drowning stuff out.

                          Wasily btw how easy to use is Ableton vs Mixmeister? I assume a whole lot more complex?
