Hi gang,

I downloaded Ozone 4 demo/trial and intalled it. It's a 64 bit but their FAQ says it'll work on a 32 bit Windows platform. I put the two .dll in the C:\windows\sys32\Ensoniq/Plugin folder during the install. In the Paris config I set the folder to the same as above.

I'm running multi core XP with Mike's plugs.

The plug shows up in the "native" area. How do I get it on to the global insert?

not gonna happen - no native plugs on the global master if I remember correctly...render your stereo mix...bring it into 2 tracks and work from there

Yeah what he said. I mentioned in the other thread to bounce down your final two mix and re-import (or drag it into the editor window) and then perform "Mastering" duties on it there...

That's what I thought and I had been testing it that way.

I was hoping to apply the plug to the global much like NoLimit. It's stereo on the global but mono on each channel.

Ozone appears to be a stereo plug (S>S) so do you think there will be any problems if each channel, panned hard L and R has a stereo plug each? Might be tricky?

Also I assume I'd have to match the settings on each channel, or at least be similar.

Thanks for the help and ideas.

I believe if you use the FFX4 chainer you can strap a stereo plug on channel one and it will work on channels 1 & 2 but don't quote me on that.

Dimitrios would be the one to contact about that

At the bottom left of the "select effect" dialog that pops up when you want to load a Native Insert is the checkbox for Stereo. Select that, then either use the FFX4 Chainer stereo version, and load up Ozone, or load Ozone directly into that Insert slot.

Either way (with or without the wrapper, depending on how you've set up your plugs) Ozone will load in stereo.

Ted nailed it.

fyi - I load Ozone directly in the native insert, no chaining.

I never even saw the stereo button. I checked the reference manual and it states for native inserts, "When the stereo button is selected, the plug is then applied to the next higher up neighbor channel".

Sure enough. I now only need to edit the single plug on the Left channel and it applies it to both the left and right channels.

Puuuuurrrrfect.

This fixed a second issue I had with Ozone 4. About 30 of the 100 or so presets in Ozone 4 were so CPU intensive (approx 85-95%) that I could only load one channel plug. If I loaded a 2nd, Paris would stutter and stop and greet me with the "Paris can not stream fast enough . . . select a slower machine . . . bla bla" error message.

But now I select the stereo button and I only need to load up one instance and bounce the L/R mix. Loving life now.

For the other 70 or so presets, I was able to run six mono inserts on six channels (I didn't even know I was running them in mono, but it did sound good) before the CPU gets in the 75-80% range. I thought they were just less CPU intense then the other plugs. So I'm good to go now. I can use these during my standard mixing session.

Thanks so much.

fyi - a few of Ozone 4 presets are doing some things that really help the mix. My mixes are sounding richer, deeper, cleaner, tighter, brighter and with better separation. I love the way it can separate the kick from the bass guitar. I will examine the data to see how it does it but for now I'm smiling. My mixes do sound CD quality polished. Quite amazing.
