Ozone 12: Mixing Explained

Description

“Ozone 12: Mixing Explained” demonstrates how to use Ozone 12’s modules to shape, balance, and enhance your mixes before mastering. In this course, Larry Holcombe walks through practical mixing workflows using tools such as Stabilizer, Bass Control, Dynamic EQ, IRC4, and Vintage Tape. The course begins with low-end management, focusing on how Stabilizer and Bass Control can tighten and balance the bottom end while maintaining punch. You’ll see how adaptive tone shaping and stereo separation can clarify kick and bass elements. Next, the training explores Dynamic EQ, mid-band parallel compression, and transient shaping to enhance punch and groove. Additional lessons include sculpting kick drum stems, creating stereo width that remains mono-compatible, and using IRC4 for clean clipping. The remaining videos cover house drum bus processing, transient and sustain enhancement for rock mixes, vintage-style tape saturation, and stereo vocal widening using subtle pitch-shifted layers. By the end of the course, you’ll understand how to integrate Ozone 12 into your mixing workflow for controlled low end, improved dynamics, and enhanced stereo imaging.
