I agree about reverb at this stage (generally). I try not to.
However I never rule out EQ or Exciter; they can make a huge difference. Same with stereo imaging.. though this can be a tough one to nail.

Once you implement a multiband compressor, an exciter can help keep the life in the sound.
EQ, well, I never rule that one out.. and I'm confused because your post says you avoid post-mix EQ but your described signal path includes it.

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

I'm confused (happens often, so may just be me).


I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome
