"I realize the thread is about mastering but the time is going to come (and soon) whereby a plug-in will read all your raw tracks and using your supplied reference song create a mix that matches the reference by any metric you can imagine...

PROPHECY FULFILLED (David Jeremiah)

Oh Bud, lo I bring you glad tidings for the day has come...

I come with IK MultiMedia T Racks Master Match, and verily I will listen to your reference, and lo, I shalt grant thee a master using thine own EQ, and forever more thou must do nothing but drink India Pale Ale and sing in the kitchen as your forefathers have done.

So let it be written and so let it be done.

Looks a lot like the most recent izotope products.

I agree that the technology on this is accelerating very quickly.

Hahahaha!

I’ll drink a good IPA to that. Actually I’ll dedicate the one I’m drinking at the moment to it.

I’ve finally gotten around to exploring the “master assist” in Ozone 8 Advanced. I let it handle everything on our latest project. I saved it and then mastered using one of my fav Ozone presets that I always have to tweak a bit. When I compared them I liked the auto generated one better.

I tried to tweak the auto version just for the heck of it but Hal said, “I’m sorry Bud I can’t let you do that.”

Just triggered on the O8N2 Advanced Upgrade today. Can't wait to give some of the new tools a shot.

I think the ultimate would be to do it at the mix stage, not the mastering stage, with neutron, not ozone.

Currently if you add neutron to every track in your mix, each copy of neutron already knows what the other copies are doing (which allows for that very cool masking feature).

It seems a logical extension of that would be to feed a master neutron module the reference file, and then neutron would adjust each track, drums, bass, guitars, etc., to give them the proper eq and level to match the reference.

It seems that would work better than to try and fix the eq on a track that has already been mixed.

Ah, I remember the good old days when you just plugged your Tele into a Twin Reverb and turned it up to 10.

Now it's all quantum physics.

Janice asked why you didn’t turn it up to 11!

Because D minor is the saddest of all keys, really.

Please don't ask me for the title of my song.

And as for that Les Paul, don't even touch it.
