Hi!
I misunderstood EZ Mix 3 and the AI function to analyze your song. I clicked to let EZ Mix listen to the loudest part of the track (Metal Master Retro preset)…but then I saved everything to a custom user preset…played around with different stuff…and thought that the user preset and the knobs were sufficient to get the boosted sound. However, this is not true. I did not have active and analyzed song data…so letting EZ Mix listen to your song, saving the preset, quitting your DAW without saving, opening your song, opening EZ Mix, selecting your preset does NOT work…the song is louder, but only around -9 to -10 LUFS…when listening to the song again, analyzing it, it is back to -7 LUFS and way punchier!
So you are not supposed to save a user preset in song 1, then opening a different DAW project with song 2, then simply loading the EZ Mix preset…because it will NOT have analyed data…although you loaded the preset and might think everything might be loud and punchy because of the knobs etc.
Ok, now I know…but how do you use EZ Mix then? When you have all files in your DAW and mix them without EZ Mix, then let EZ Mix analyze your song, the mastering preset is applied, but it might change your mix…so you need to adjust your mix….which is tedious.
But if you have freshly exported files (only WAV, no VSTi active in the RAM) and boot up EZ Mix right away, how do you know your loudest part of the track before finishing the actual mixing process?
I am confused…so WHEN do you click “Analyze” and apply the mastering?
