I just wanted to leave a post about Mixea - I tried it for the first time and was impressed. I passed in a song I recorded in CW and mastered in Ozone and was happy with, and it was immediately improved with the default settings. I brought the Mixea version in to Ozone 10 as a reference track and tried to match what I had done previously. The biggest differences were this: - The low mids needed a substantial cut. 300-900 range - the hi mids needed a slight boost. 2K-5K range - 900-1K needed a notch cut. - I had to match LUFs to around -10. With all these adjustment, I got pretty close, but there was still an intangible clarity. The Mixea version sounded more professional, instruments more defined in their own space. I'm going to get the yearly subscription which offers unlimited Masters for $99/year. Hopefully I can figure out exactly what I need to do to go the extra mile. Steve

Hi Consultation and advice needed! Im finishing my mixes and preparing them for pro mastering. My first album is on it's way! One issue arrived: The master engineer to whom I will send it requires 24 bit depth files. Now situation in all my project is this: Some tracks were recorded in 24/48 and others in different time and place were recorded in 16/41 and in the end all recordings ended mixed in projects with default 16/41 Now I wonder if that might be a problem... Question nr1: What Cakewalk does when its feeded with audio files of a different bit depth and sample rate? (knowing that default for all projects is 16/41) Does it automatically applies dithering when going down from 24 to 16? What about sample rate? Question nr2: What now, when sending for mastering (24 bit depth required) - render them in 16(project bit depth)and convert to 24, or render straight to 24? I have 2 weeks to sort it out before deadline. Thanks in advance for your time and help -
I’m prepping to make my first EP – 3 to 5 songs as a “united whole.” Over the past couple of years, I’ve mixed and mastered each track separately as I figured out how to work in CW, without thought to this long-term possibility. Now, I want the songs to have a cohesive “whole” feel… like an album. The mixdowns are all in separate project folders. Some (the later ones) are better than others (the earlier ones). I plan on revisiting each to polish anything that seems to need it based on my current knowledge and skill level. For mastering tools, I’m using Ozone 10 with references to get in the ballpark. I also have Izotope’s RX8 (if that could figure into the workflow). Additionally, I have Izotope’s Insight, which I just picked up at a great loyalty offer price. Great for metering an analysis. Ultimately, I’d like to go through Distrokid to get on the streaming platforms. To help on that front, I have ADPTR Audio’s Metric A/B for seeing how I stack up with references out in the streaming world in my genre (rock) as well as their Streamliner, which helps prep things for streaming with LUFS loudness/dynamic levels, etc. I'm unsure where to start this process. After I polish my pre-master stereo mixdowns, should I pull those into a single “mastering” project, with a track for each, all running through the same session of Ozone? I’m sure, like everything else, there are more ways than one to approach this. Looking for foundational best practices to keep in mind. Any suggestions as to how to approach this maiden “EP compilation” voyage would be appreciated! What a long, strange trip it's been! ?
