And thanks to Ozone 9 Advanced’s Master Rebalance feature, you can fix these irritants without calling up your client and asking for the original tracks. With Master Rebalance, you can dig the vocals out of a busy mix, attenuate the bass guitar to eliminate mud, and tone down domineering crash cymbals without time-intensive EQ adjustments. At Sweetwater, we have endless praise for Master Rebalance. Having the ability to change the levels of individual instrument without needing the original tracks is an absolute game-changer.

Low End Focus obliterates muddy mixes

Its Low End Focus feature is your secret weapon for eliminating muddy or blurry low end in a mix. Low End Focus employs cutting-edge processing to enhance bass sounds, infusing your mix with clarity, freeing up headroom, and ensuring a well-defined foundation for your track. Having issues with clashing kick drums and boomy bass guitars? Low End Focus is the solution. Whether you want to dive in surgically to shape the tone and timbre of your track or simply add a bit of wizardry to elevate your track to the next level, Low End Focus is the easy way to achieve a punchy, hard-hitting final master.
