Now let's talk about match EQ a tool that helps you achieve tonal balance consistency with reference tracks. Here's how it works. Lo the reference track that you want your master to sound like you can either do this on a separate track in your dow or the ozone referencing section which I cover in the master assistance and referencing. Lesson on the referencing section on the match EQ module select capture and play your reference track, click stop and ozone 11 will analyze a reference tracks tonal balance and provide a target curve, turn off the reference track and make sure your track is running through ozone. Then on the apply section hit capture to analyze your track's frequency spectrum in orange, you'll see the analysis of the reference track and blue shows the analysis of your track. The module's goal is to match your mixer's tonal balance to the orange target curve match EQ will suggest adjustments making it easier for you to get closer to the reference track sonic character. It'...

s like having a roadmap to achieve the perfect balance in the fine tune section. The amount determines how much boosting and cutting the module carries out to achieve the reference tonal balances, the higher the amount, the closer you will be to the reference and the more intense the module will be, the smooth section determines the amount of precision is applied to the match curve, less moving is more precise match curve amount of 100%. And a smoothing amount of 0% might technically be the closest match to your reference mix. But in reality, is probably not the most effective combination of the settings. These settings will try to capture every peak valley and level which can result in extreme and natural eqs. I advise values under 50%. Remember, the goal is to capture the overall tonal shape of your master as opposed to achieving an exact match. No understanding the stabilizer module. Lastly, let's explore the stabilizer module and its utility. The stabilizer is designed to help maintain a stable frequency response in your audio. It's particularly useful for addressing resonances hums or problematic peaks in your mix. It behaves more like a dynamic EQ by analyzing your audio. The stabilizer identifies troublesome frequencies and provides options to reduce or eliminate them. This module ensures that your master has a smooth and even frequency response, preventing any jarring or distracting elements. The stabilizer differs from the spectral shaper and that it's less precise and more about tonal shaping and taming specific frequencies. It also applies corrections based on a target frequency. Let's now have a look at the stabilisers controls much like the target control in a master assistant. The target control in a stabilizer module uses A I to set the target for the frequency balance. When a reference track is selected in master assistant, an assistant target will be available in the stabilizer mode. This determines the type of adjustment the stabilizer will make to match the target shape applies, boost and cuts the EQ by keeping the overall loudness neutral by applying an equal amount of boot to cuts, cut will only attenuate frequencies that exceed the upper bounds of the target tonal balance. This may be more useful if you want to add more modules for additive EQ later in your signal chain. It's a useful tool for finding a middle ground between your target and your own custom processing amount. This sets the gain to the tonal corrections at 100. The stabilizers possible boost is nine DB speed. This controls how quickly the module reacts to incoming frequencies. High speeds provide more precisely controlled corrections but may introduce artifacts as well. Smoothing similar to match EQ smoothing controls. How many filters are working across the frequency spectrum of the given target at 100 smooth EQ corrections will look like 3 to 4 filters providing more of a smooth curve zero smooth, increases the amount of filters therefore making it more accurate to the target. Let's now change this to cut and have a look at the sensitivity control down here. This controls how reactive, the stabilizer is to income in frequencies. Higher sensitivity means it will suppress an eternal deviation from the selected target tame transient. This applies a stabilizer to any transient. This will reduce the peaks of the master at specific frequencies allowing you to control the dynamic range EQ. This controls how much processing is applied to each broad frequency band. OK. So that's the end of this lesson in this lesson, we've explored the EQ modules in ozone 11. We've looked at the spectral shaper EQ one and two match EQ and a stabilizer. These tools are essential for shaping your mix, tonal balance, enhancing problem areas and achieving a polished professional sound. Thanks for watching and I'll see you in the next one.
