I also find light treatment works best.Ģ.

Dont use modern if your shooting for a 70s Fleetwood Mac sound. Use the master assistant modern or vintage according to the style your track is. The match EQ works well if you follow a few basics.ġ. It is a tool, it can be helpful, but it can also make a mess of things, like has been said. There are good videos on using it you youtube, like most things these days.

They still have a free demo, If I remember correctly it is full featured. A George Strait song is mixed WAY differently than a Katy Perry song, even just doing a listen compare, you want to get as close in style/genre/tempo etc as you can to what you have. Problem with trying to Match another recording is that it is different instruments, mixed differently. Its EQ settings can be pretty useful, at least in showing an issue. I does have a tendency to push hard, like a lot of modern recordings and can be way too much, especially on compression. But thinking "click here" and it fixes everything, no. Ozone Can help find and pinpoint some of these issues. I've been recording for 40 years and have moderate mixing skills at best. A great mixer/engineer knows "that sound" is frequency X or Y, or has the skills to use a narrow EQ band to find it. The hardest thing in mixing is that you KNOW you are hearing an issue, but you can't exactly pinpoint it. I would actually consider paying that if I felt it would really help. Looks like the Advanced version is $250 for another 8 days at Sweetwater. I would like to hear from people who use this tool in this way, and any other thing you might like to share.
Not that it makes me sound like Katy Perry but at least some of that sonic imprint will be there. It looks like this Ozone thing can get a reference EQ from say, Katy Perry, and apply that to my song.
Now there are some benefits to this, like I can't hear hiss any more, but I digress.

I have a shelving boost that I apply all the time in my Behringer XR18 mixer to the PC audio channel, and I try to adjust that so that other music sounds "normal", but there's only so much you can do and this is pretty inexact. So especially in the high frequencies ( > 8 kHz) I simply do not know what is going on.
Probably just typical age and loud concert exposure over the years, maybe a few times too close to the Fender Deluxe when my friend hit a chord, too close to the cymbals from attempting to rehearse in a 5x5 storage space, etc. The next thing that is going on is that I'm losing my hearing. I feel compelled to try to record at least SOME of my original material, but the process is pretty difficult and not nearly as enjoyable as the playing part. I've reached a certain level of my craft, which is just moderate, as I would rather record ten demos than one super-polished radio ready cut, assuming I even had what it took to do that. I still have two Teac 1/4" 4-track machines in the corner - for what use, I do not know, but I have a few NIB reels of Ampex tape from when I worked there (my first job out of college). Have done so for going on 35 years starting with PortaStudios.
