Does my sound reach Industry Standards?

[ctonthetrack]

Hello,

I’m trying to figure out what needs to be done to my mix. Please let me know If I have reached industry standards. Should I take it to get professionally mixed? Is mastering needed? Thanks. http://www.ctonthetrack.com

Yeah, go get it mixed and mastered. You will learn something from what the professionals do to your track.

@ctonthetrack. Your cues sound fine.

If you’re worried about mastering get yourself some mastering plugs, like Ozone5, or the Flux Mastering Pack.

Ozone 5 is a great plugin. Kind of a track by track thing though in my opinion. Some tracks I thought it was absolutely wonderful, others the SSL bus compressor sounds better to my ears. When Ozone 5 works it’s a home run though. I think you’re stuff sounds great .

I have Ozone5 Advanced. You can break out all of the modules, instead of just using global presets.

That said, you can still go into each module of regular Ozone and adjust things. I highly recommend getting a good tutorial, so that you can get the most out of Ozone.

Thanks for the link Michael. I’ve owned it for a month or so, great product.

Hi CT,

Sounds pretty good to me. I don’t hear anything that screams you need to pay for a professional. My one suggestion would be to use more of the full stereo field when you’re mixing. A lot of what I’m hearing sounds very centred.

Word of advice: don’t have autoplay enabled on your website. 😉

Great stuff, overall.
