Great content, as always! Neutron, Nectar, and Ozone are on EVERY mix that I do. And RX is a lifesaver in every step of the process. Also, love the sound of Geoff's voice!
Very close to how I’ve come to distinguish between the two: Mixing is about bringing together different elements to form a cohesive whole. Mastering is about optimising the final approved mix for your intended medium of distribution. And yeah, I use Cubase for tracking/mixing and Wavelab for mastering as far as DAWs go. And yes, I see that Neutron and Ozone makes that distinction too 😉.
I’ve decided that my workflow would be that Mixing is making the song sound absolutely best in terms of tone, balance, depth, movement, groove, etc at around -18LUFS. Mastering is bringing that Mix up to level without ruining it and provides one more chance for tweaking the tone to make it sound even better than the best I could make it sound in the Mix (hopefully).
We start our mixing process with a volume balance and subsequently make adjustments using various tools such as EQ, reverb, saturation, and compression. These adjustments inevitably impact the volume, thus altering the initial balance we carefully established. My question is, should we consistently revert the volume of individual sounds to their original values set during the volume balancing stage every time we make these corrections?
Better Control if you do so, gain staging ✌️cause like you’ve said, the balance you established already, so unless you feel like after eq or what not something needs to be reconsidered in regards of balance you should always try to stay with the balance you had when starting 👌
Mixing vs mastering isn't about processing. Mastering is actually an entirely different, objective, "big picture" mode of listening. And is as much about knowing what *not* to do. And yes, sequencing, pace, and context is vital.

Podrían activar los subtítulos? Hay mucha información valiosa que me gustaría aprender , llevo usando Izotope desde años . Y es la primera vez que veo tutoriales con tan buena calidad. Y lo que es mejor , de los propios creadores
I know this is off topic but can we see squeaks on the spectrogram? I'm using RX10 and the guitar denoise but if possible to see the squeaks visually I'd like to know where I can learn how. Thank you to anyone who can help.
Great Video. May I know for podcast/speech/voice after nectar or Neutron step, how to use Ozone for them due to Ozone does not have voice/speech/dialgue function in mastering assistant function. It sometimes confuse me for Voice and diangue due to Neutron judge Voice and diangue unclearly. For Voice/speech/dialgue, may I know the difference if I use 1) Nectar + Neutron 2) Nectar + Neutron + OZONE 3). Neutron + OZONE. Also, may I also confirm the time to use deverb and neo verb, Could you kindly make two videos next time. Thank you.⁹
I’m afraid my friend, you would have to reach out to a sound engineer with years of experience with izotope to give you what you really want. No RU-vid video can help to go in that deep
Hi! iZotope hasn't been bought by NI. We're within the same group of companies for a while now, but now all the brands are coming under NI instead of Soundwide. 😀 Please see more info here: bit.ly/3CPQdFK
