I have Ozone Isotope as my final mastering plugin - but I am a little lost on optimizing the configurations. And in the individaul track mixing I do tend to use volume controls when I should be using EQ's - I will try to work on that.



I've just bought this book, It's very well written and it's a great resource about mixing in general, and mixing in reaper in particular:

I think you should fix several aspects of your mix before applying any master plugin like Ozone. Btw, I've tried that plugin, but I've founded it VERY complex; Mastering is a BIG topic on itself and that plugin is intended for proffesional engineers, IMHO.
