i'm still working on my first izotope inspired mixes so before i have finished mixes to play with i'd welcome some advice.


Is always good to mix your tracks with many references, ozone9 is a really good reference and start point to your mixing process. The best advice i can give you and the one that made everything clear for me on what refers to mixing is making different mixings and comparing them to see what you like and don't like, and then take everything you chosen and put it all on a final mix.
