I'm still not sure how to use the VU meters within the app in relation to distortion/clipping though. But the Lurssen gives me that immediately.
#IZOTOPE OZONE 8 VU METER SERIAL#
I'm slowly learning the process of serial compression in my projects- but I've not been as successful getting the results I wanted with getting that nice solid brickwall waveform out of the stock Logic limiter. I like the idea of something that limits my choices a bit so I don't tweak knobs I shouldn't and screw up the process. Yeah one thing I liked about the Lurssen was that you can slap it on the master channel and have a huge improvement in limiting and a boost in loudness immediately. For the most part, though, if it feels like it needs too many tweaks, it may not have enough flexibility for that project, so I'll probably use another plugin (or set of plugins) instead. with that is to try different genre presets to find what comes the closest, then make any further tweaks that might be needed. Sometimes you can adjust a few of the under-the-hood parameters, but mostly you just get to tweak the input drive, the "push" (which I gather does some enhancement across all EQ bands) and some fixed frequency EQ tweaks. You pick a genre preset, which controls what modules are used under the hood. It is limited in flexibility, but that is part of what provides the instant gratification. )Īs for the Lurssen Mastering Console, one nice thing about it is that it is probably as near to instant gratification as I've seen on the mastering front. (I'm pretty much a plugin junkie in general. I've also used the more general iZotope Ozone plugin occasionally, and I have IK's T-RackS MAX, though I don't think I've used that in mastering recently (I do use some of the individual plugins at the track level or on effects buses). My most common choice at present is a combination of the Waves Abbey Road TG Mastering plugin and the iZotope Ozone Advanced Maximizer plugin (sometimes combined with PSP Neon HR if I need some additional EQ at that stage). I haven't used it on too many of my masters, but I have used it on some, and, if I didn't have other options, I could reasonably easily imagine using it a lot more.

That was easily in impulse buy territory, and it's certainly been worth that money for me.

It was on sale for $49.99, and I was able to use $14 worth of IK Jam Points, so got it for $35.99. I picked up the Lurssen Mastering Console last year. Wondering if anyone here uses the Lurssen and finds it to be worth the money.

I watched some demos of Lurssen and his assistant mastering tracks and the needles would be well into the red- I guess I'm confused because I thought "RED/plus dB=bad, do not do" I could hear more distortion as I turned the input dial up past a certain point.Īt a certain point I'd like to invest in some mastering software and I'm looking at some options. One thing about using it that confused me is how much to drive the input dial- I would drive it enough so that the needles would be well into the red on the Console GUI- though my master output on my DAW was never in danger of clipping. My tracks sounded a lot beefier and fuller- a lot of it probably due to the built-in unseen brickwall limiter that is automatic. It seemed to help some of my tracks quite a bit- this is the first mastering software I've used- up til now I just use a variety of compressors, eq, limiters on my master mix.

They offer a free 9 day trial so I downloaded it and went back through a lot of my tracks in Logic and used it to remaster some of my tracks. Last night I was looking at the IK Multimedia website and saw they had a Mastering plugin called the Lurssen Mastering Console.
