ez mix 3 mastering question

[6l6]

I am considering upgrading to mix 3, my question is, when I use AI Mastering and then sift through the presets for AI, I don’t need to use ‘reference tracks’ anymore, right? Because EZ MIx AI is already using ‘references’ to discern how my mix should be mastered.

I am asking this because I don’t care to sound like a reference track, but I have been using those simply to not sound bad compared to reference tracks, not necessarily to sound the same, for example to make sure there’s not too much low end, or too much brightness, or that my master is not too quiet compared to the reference track.

so with EZ mIx 3 AI mastering, I can just stop caring about reference tracks as it uses its own ‘references’ to eliminate major flaws in my master, am I right?

Hi,

I would say both yes and no😉

Once EZmix3 has analysed your track and you try out and tweak the different presets, you should be in the ballpark for the preset’s genre references. That said, it’s always good practice with reference checking if you need to tweak something.

ok, thanks for the honest answer, understood. It’s more to get into a ballpark, which is a lot anyways. Just wanted to know exactly what the product does. Thanks.

I am also interested in purchasing the software but before purchasing I want to understand what to do after I have selected the preset and analyzed the track and tweaked the track basically how do I print the ex miz master from my daw or into my daw so that I can render the audio. I have seen a few videos but no one has explained how it works beyond selecting a preset and playing and from what I could see in the video on Youtube there is a significant difference.  I certainly think I will need a copy of the mastered audio and so far that is a big reason. I like a lot of what I’ve heard in comparison to a few ozone videos on YouTube. Still, it would help me decide if someone had a video showing beyond selecting a preset and analyzing the track. to have the mastered track available to send or share etc is the result isn’t it? Thank you and I hope that I’m not coming off as off-putting. This is not my intention. I am only seeking answers and I appreciate your help. As someone who has never mastered their music but understands this important factor I’m  just trying to think with the end in mind.

You simply render the track the same way you would render (print) any track from your DAW, with EZmix3 as the last effect on your master channel.
