izotope ozone Manuale Utente

The Ozone mastering reverb was also designed to provide you the controls you need, and just

the controls you need, for optimizing your mixes. There are no gate, reverse or other “special
effect” reverb controls that might be great for individual tracks, but not for overall mixes.

Think of it almost as a “coating” reverb for track reverb.

The best way to become familiar with the sound is to load up a song, solo the reverb module

(so you only hear the effect of the reverb processing) and solo the reverb signal so you don’t

even hear the original direct mix. You only hear the reverb.

First of all, turn up the Wet fader. This controls the amount of reverb that is being mixed back

into your mix. Adjust it to a comfortable listening level to go through this section of tutorial,
which will probably be much higher than what you would want if you were actually adding this

much reverb back into your mix.

Room or Plate

This button allows you to select between the acoustic room reverb and the studio plate reverb.
As mentioned above, the plate mode provides a thick or lush sound while the room mode

provides a more natural acoustic sense of space.

Room Size

In an “acoustic” sense, this controls the overall size of the room – or to be technical it controls

the “decay time” of the reverb. Higher values will give longer reverb times, as it will take

longer for the sound to decay.

If you’re trying to “wash over” a mix, you’ll probably want to try values in the range of

0.3 to 0.6 for this fader. As a general tip, if your mix already has reverb on the
individual tracks (which it probably does) try to set the room size of length of the

reverb slightly longer than the reverb on the original tracks. You can always adjust the

level of the mastering reverb with the Wet slider, and a longer decay time on the
