#Fabfilter one sucks pro#

Studio One has a useful Limiter for maximizing, a Multi Dynamic Compressor, and a pretty nice Pro EQ, so it does most mastering jobs nicely. Note: Waves 元 Ultramaximizer is a tremendous maximizer, so that's an example of getting a useful outside mastering Limiter. Those things could be had within S1, with some care, and you wouldn't know the difference. A bit better for CD levelling, but again, some further EQ'ing is most definately necessary. The Limiting and expanding is somewhat better, but often a bit too strong when maximizing levels for streaming. I have Ozone 8, and the results seem to be very wide brush strokes, for EQ. Just like jpsbuk points out, the analysis of Ozone is OK, but it's really no more than a start for further tweaking. From style templates, to analyzing a mix, that is quite useful. Izotope's Ozone has several components within that make it useful for mastering.

Most any other item outside of the that would be by users preference.Ĭomparing mastering plugin quality: Obviously, some 3rd party plugin software specialize in various things, and it's no different for mastering. Given the right recording practices from mic'ing to final mix, and even mastering, there is enough to get by.

Quality: with the bundled Studio One plugin effects, there's largely everything you need, for a turnkey audui song/CD production.

And so fort with the rest of the plugins.Ĭhoosing another plugin from a different company is for me a little like 'Do I want Ketchup or Mustard on this ?' Their ProEQ is very nice to work with and has the benefit of FTT so it's possible to see the freq's as well.

Me, I want it all and like to be able to try out other courses when in the flow of mixing/mastering but the Presonus plugins are well-made and will do what's needed on tracks/mix/mastering for sure. It's all about Horses for Courses and we are all different ears and wants. VST is needed, but I guess if you are wandering about plugins you got that. If you want to do it all in one plugin Ozone 8 is a good start (for me it was) but it's all very do-able with Presonus plugins as well and if the sound of Tape is wanted, Presonus has a deal with Softube and their Tape plugin to be used either as a MixFX plugin or alone. It's mostly about how you put the Presonus plugins together and what you want for a kind of plugin.
