Oh yes, one question if I may? I loaded the template into Sonar 8 and read the release notes which mentioned that the Master Out was set to RMS and as such the mix should be around the -20 mark. I noticed that the demo song provided was peaking at just under 0db on the meters and wondered if this could have been reset by me using a new version of Sonar? Is there an easy way to set this back?

Cheers

Hey there!
 
I'm not Jonas, but I can help you with your question.  The reason for the disparity is because you're reading the PEAK levels instead of the RMS (Root Median Square) levels as suggested.  To change this, click on the drop-down arrow found next to the Show/Hide All Meters button (It's to the right of the Snap to Grid button in the Tool Bar).  Go down to the end where it says "Bus Meter Options" and select "RMS".  That'll show you the average levels of the song, which is what Jonas was refering to.

Hey Jonas

Thanks very much for sharing your knowledge - invaluable to relative newbies like myself ! It's a bit of a CPU muncher on my poor old system, but I'm learning loads from just pulling apart what you've set up. Top man, thank you !

Many thanx for the template. I am a new user and it surely is a great place to start learning what mixing is all about.

Hell once again.
The Ozone presets do not seem to work in the latest Ozone 4. Has anyone got it working?

I created that Ozone preset long ago.  It was probably Ozone 1 or 2.  I don't have the new version, nor do I use it.  As I recall, the preset used very minimal processing, i.e. one or two bands of compression, EQ and single-band limiting.  I also turned off the exciters and wideners.

the Ozone preset and mixing template are both fantastic, and very educational, so many thanks Jonas for sharing with the world.Top Man.

So, what are you now using in place of the ozone bits?

The Ozone preset was never used in the mixing template.

Thank you for the response.
Good to know.
 
I was referring to your comment above about you not using Ozone.
 
If so, what are you preferring now?
