I've undertaken some premastering (eg OZONE) on some finished songs and a couple of issues came up.
1. Should I mixdown the song to 2 track stereo mix with OZONE in the master bus (I use Cakewalk Pro8 - still works fine!)? or
2. Mixdown to 2 track stereo with nothing in master bus and then treat it with OZONE (or equivalent)?
The problem I have with doing 2. is that the stereo mix will have quite a bit of clipping (for some songs)if there is no compression/limiter in the master bus. The obvious answer is to put some compression (eg Blockfish) in the master bus, mix down to 2 tracks then process with OZONE. However this way I'm compressing the song twice.
Should I just lower the master fader to stop clipping in the first place?
Thanks
Andrew
