Hey guys,


What is the best way to hard limit in izotope ozone,

I can't do it without making a distorted mess lol, because I still want Max loudness

Why would you want 'Max loudness', it'll make it sound horrible even if there's no "audio distortion" hence all of the dynamic range will be eliminated. Now I'm definitely not a 'Pro' in any sense of the word, but it would appear you're doing something wrong. You should check the documentation on Ozone, a 'high class' mastering plugin like that shouldn't be distorting the signal in less you're really pushing it.

No you're completely wrong, I normally use a different type of limiter in ozone, i think its called 'IRC3' off the top of my head. You just gotta know how to have that max loudness while keeping dynamics. I'm fine with that but its a type of limiter that still has a bit of clipping once you mix it down, whereas hard limiting will not allow audio past the said threshold (i have a hangover so forgive me if i'm using some wrong words). So I want to use hard limiting while keeping that max loudness.

its called brick wall limiting and it crushes dynamics..

Sounds better in a live venue

im willing to bet it sounds like wall of incoherent noise

yep

MAX LOUDNESS

he's the superhero all the producer kids of today look up to

Make a nice dynamic mix then crank up the gain when/if you play it live?

limiting the shit out of tunes fucks up your drums transients and makes them lose impact
sure its louder but it wont hit nearly as hard

Not if the venues system & sound engineers are any good it shouldn't.
