iZoptope plugins

[Alison]

I'm really not sure if this is the right place to put this question but, I am considering getting an iZoptope mixing and mastering plugin bundle since they are being offered at a ridiculously low price right now. Does anyone use iZoptope? Are they worth the price of admission? I mostly just want to expand my mastering capabilities. I am using Presonus Studio One 4 right now, it doesn't have much for actually mastering.

Looooota people use them. They’re not popular for nothing. I don’t use the pm, but haven’t heard anything bad about them. I’m sure there’s a learning curve.

I moved this into the general recording thread.

Izotope i find get's mixed reviews. I have heard horrible masters and i have heard very very good masters. Typically the bad ones are just people that are playing the loudness game and could careless if their mix translates well. hard to say that that is Izotopes fault though, right? .

One of our fellow rebels did a before and after using some set up in Izotope versus their previous mastering set up efforts and the difference was outstanding. I tried to find the thread for you but i'll be damned if i can find it. The user was [mention]liv_rong[/mention] though if you felt like crawling all through his older posts. I feel like it was just this year when he released his EP on Bandcamp.

if the deal is just way to good to refuse i likely wouldn't shake a stick at it. Like anything you can learn it and do a decent job. They were actually giving it away for free earlier this year? not sure if the links are still there? Sorry if you missed out on it.

I've been using the izotope elements for mastering for a little while now. It's nice. It's got some nice features and works well.

thank you, I'm still learning the ways of this forum! I will search @liv_rong. With the price so low, I figure I can at least learn from it! I am totally in love with learning more about recording (especially now that live performance is out of the question!)

There's a learning curve with EVERYTHING! I'm in love with curves. . . beats straight roads all to hell!
