Mastering Modules

OZONE 7 | MASTERING MODULES

updated to display the currently selected band.

As a reminder of which band they are currently controlling, the color of the controls will switch to

match the color of the selected band.Each band of dynamics is capable of three types of dynamics

processing:

• Limiting

• Compression

• Expansion

This type of versatility allows you, for example, to aggressively limit high level signals, apply more

gentle compression to medium level signals, or boost (expand) the level of soft signals.

The combination is such that you can tighten the dynamic range by compressing from the top, by

expanding from the bottom, or a combination of both.

Global Dynamics Controls

Click on the Band or All labels to choose between:

Band Display:

Displays controls for one band at a time, and uses the rest of the module’s display for comprehensive

metering. In this mode, you can switch which band to adjust by:

• Tapping on the desired band region in the display at the top of the module.

• Using the left/right arrows, on either side of the band label, to toggle which band’s controls are

displayed.
