Ozone Maximizer - Select per Song

MiFa1969

I like the idea of a compressor!

But you should be able to switch on and adjust it separately for each song.

With current material he is hardly necessary, because already strongly compressed. With older songs it makes real sense.

Therefore, it would be great if you could decide per song and save.

I'm wondering whether the already per-track gain function doesn't effectively do that? Like, if you adjust your older music to sound as loud as the more compressed stuff, the limiter will then catch the peaks, and Traktor will store that value per file.

The problem is that older music was produced much more dynamically. Auto-Gain only captures the peaks.

Catching these dynamics only with the limiter does not lead to a good result.

The Ozone Maximizer is also more of a multiband compressor.

And that works much better, especially with older tracks.

As far as I know, the auto-gain is not a limiter itself, and does not capture any peaks. It just changes the gain, and then the Master Limiter catches the peaks. When you use the Ozone limiter instead of the Traktor limiter, it should work like you say you want it to!

I tested this yesterday. When I set the Maximizer to compress older tracks (all Analyzed) properly, it is too much for current tracks.

Therefore I would consider a setting per track useful.

You don't need to set this in the maximizer settings, you can even leave those to only catch stuff above 0 dB. You need to adjust the autogain per track to make them sound as loud as the more compressed tracks. The maximizer will then not even touch the already slammed tracks, and only work its magic on the newly-amplified peaks in the older material.

So it IS already a setting per track!

Thank you. I am aware of how this works.

I was hoping to use the maximizer to add more loudness to less compressed tracks.

It goes with a compromise of course in that you put the gain value between the two values for old and new.

Yes, that would be a possibility. Simply lower the gain of the current and loud tracks significantly. And raise the older ones accordingly. Then that should work. I haven't looked at it that way yet. I'll test it tonight.

Thanks for the tip!

How do you folks set the ozone limiter for normal use?
