Well honestly I sound design, compose, mix and master in Reason so while at times I look outside, ultimately I don't feel the need to go outside based on costs both dollar and workflow. I'm going to play Devil's advocate here so please don't feel that this is a personal attack: Or keep Reason and just master in Ozone as a stand alone?. Pro Tools with it's mastering tools, and ability to use Rewire for Reason. I'm super conflicted, because of the $$$$. With Reason, I can ONLY use Ozone as a stand alone and bounce out to do a final master.
$599 for PT, or the $599 for the Izotope.īut with PT I can use Izotope as plug ins on single tracks.VERY nice for mixing and mastering. For me it's pretty much a must haveīut then there's the money. It literally can change a song in minutes. I did a demo of their "Ozone 7 Advanced" and holy Christ. Because it's stock Mastering seems to outdo Reasons thrown together 'rigs'. I am debating whether to use THAT for mixing, creating, and MASTERING. I've been learning Pro Tools and it while it seems a little more cluttered than Reason, the learning curve seems worth it. But there are so many 3rd Party plug ins like Waves, Izotope.that I would LOVE to be able to run in Reason. Reason makes great instruments, REs, etc.
Sure it can help beef up some songs but it's a mish mash of everything in so many directions.ģ) I'm getting really tired of the inability for 3rd Party VST. It's "Mastering Rig 2" is a little hefty on price, while it really features no fresh, new tools. Reason's dependability on the M-Class has gotten old and tiring. Mastering is about ears, but visuals help. I cannot BELIEVE that after all this time, one does not exist, or is not included.Ģ) Mastering is okay, but lacks in metering and visual cues. A good solid Multi-Band Comp can assist in so much on polishing a mix. The problem is, it lacks a few things that no matter how I try, i can't get past.ġ) It's has no real dedicated stock multi-band compressor, that isn't some COMBINATOR thrown together with the usual M-Class Compressor and some other stock rig. I LOVE it as a DAW, it really is easy, intuitive, fast, and is more 'creative' than other DAWS.IMO. I have been a Reason user for 2 years now.
