If you don't like that overly compressed sound, there's no need to master it that way. But if your song ever gets wide radio play (as if people still listened to the radio wink ), the station will automatically apply compression to the song anyway.


FWIW, I've used Ozone for years. IMO Ozone doesn't inherently give you a modern sound unless that's what you want. I typically use a tweaked preset called Light Cleanup and a couple "vintage" ones. They do about what an engineer would have called mastering years ago. Of course with the end stage maximizer module you can, well, maximize to your heart's content if that's ones goal.
