Howdy,

Here's my Waves LinMB mastering protocol or least the best one I could "appropriate" from the web gurus.

1. Always perform a Full Reset before proceeding with a new song
2. Select the Adaptive Electro Mastering Preset
3. Change Makeup to Auto (right hand column)
4. Play the song through and click Trim Button when you see peaks
5. Set each band’s Threshold by entering values at the bottom of each column (the values were determined by your run through)
6. Bring the Master Threshold down to where the bouncing line is sitting mostly in the middle of the blue band
7. Set each band's releases to mostly flatten line, i.e., slow down the “dancing.”

As mentioned by order of processing is Ozone 6 EQ > Waves LinMB > Ozone 6 Limiter

I'm not a fan, as least for me, of post mix reverb, stereo exciters or post production EQ hence I never use those modules with Ozone 6.
