What it absolutely isn’t is a quasi-magical one-click virtual mastering engineer. Like Neutron’s Track Assistant, as long as it’s approached with realistic expectations - ie, that it’s really just suggesting a starting point from which to dial in your own settings - Master Assistant is a solid enough system.
It’s a great system, although it only works with EQ in stereo mode, not mid/side.
The low end Crest Factor is also displayed in a three-segment meter - keep it in the centre segment for optimum results.Ī menu enables selection of any active instance of Ozone 8, Neutron 2 or their module plugins in the project, bringing up the EQ controls and a spectrum analyser for EQ and Post EQ, and just the analyser for all others. The idea is to place Tonal Balance Control on the master out and adjust EQ settings throughout the mix to get the white spectrum curve to fall entirely within the green target range, which is selected from three preset types (Bass Heavy, Modern and Orchestral) or any number of analysed tracks from your own library. In Broad mode, the analyser divides the frequency spectrum and target range into four easily read blocks, while Fine mode gives a full, high-res view of the spectrum and target for detailed comparison. A separate, included plugin, Tonal Balance Control (Advanced only) facilitates viewing of a track’s spectral distribution relative to one of three target curves defined by analysis of thousands of mastered tracks, and acts as a central control station for the EQs in all running instances of Ozone 8 and Neutron 2 Advanced.
