See the Processing Steps section below for more information on how these curves are used during Master Assistant processing. These three representative categories are: We included combination target curves that represent these three broad categories with the Tonal Balance Control plug-in. Note: Though we are categorizing into 10 different genres, our research has shown that most curves fall within three broad categories.

In addition to analyzing typical spectral characteristics, we also trained a neural net classifier to map incoming audio to a unique target curve that represents a mixture of the 10 genre classes. Based on our research, we created ten genre target curves that represent the typical spectral characteristics for each genre class. These genre classes were then analyzed for their spectral characteristics. We started by grouping a large variety of audio files into ten classes of musical genre. Master Assistant utilizes target genre curves that were born from a mixture of internal discussion and research.

The Master Assistant panel can be opened by clicking the “Master Assistant” button to the left of the preset display. Master Assistant is included in the main Ozone 8 plug-in and Ozone 8 standalone application. It is designed to give you a starting point that is intelligently tailored to your music to help you create a professional sounding master regardless of your experience level. Master Assistant is the latest advancement in assistive technology, machine learning, and intelligence in Ozone 8 Elements, Standard, and Advanced.
