Was it actually "in the song"? The 2 versions actually sounded pretty similar to me as well. Of course, it could have been a subtle preset or it might not have been in the mix....
I think so (ha, ha). I removed all the wave plugins from the master buss and exported the wav file. I then created a new project, brought in that wav file and then loaded up ozone and started tinkering. It is not surprising that my first try didn't make much of a difference -- the wav plugins should be pretty decent. (Although I did notice that if I just lower the volume on my waves version, it is not that much different than the raw mix).
Some of the custom presets I have.... oh heck yes.... you know when those things are on. It's like the difference between black and white and color.....
Can you export custom presets and then share them with other ozone users? I see that they have mastering presets by
Greg Calbi that they are giving away.
