Hi Francesco
Yes, at last Neutron and Ozone itself can give great sound as it listens and puts in the Eq , and all other effects to what is necessary.
You can always say no and try a different way, but the Ozone suite gets you in the ballpark very quickly.
I have nearly finished my first song with it as i have tried all other ways to get results.
The thing is it takes years to be a mixer and Ozone can cut some of them off HOPE!!!
.
You get some strange anomalies in Cubase with the Genos and i agree with lee that the Genos is really suited for live playing.
Vst Instruments are so much more precise in their sound quality and easier to mix
Even when editing midi from Genos in Cubase, it can get glitchy sometimes, but there are ways to get around that.
I also agree with Francesco that Ozone can turn the Genos Orchestra sounds to a more Cinamatic feel,but you have to watch your chording as you can get resonances.
As I said two notes instead of three does the trick sometimes. (Low notes sometimes clash with the higher notes that sound like an owl hooting) (Resonances)
EQ helps as well
To me it is all about listening hard which does your ears in sometimes.
For Lee, i would say go for Ozone when a deal comes up, like Black Friday or Summer Madness as Izotope bring the mastering suite right down.
I have now spent three weeks with it and i am really getting into it and it is not to difficult.
I am just going back and forth adjusting and making my mind up.
The other thing is that i can fiddle, fiddle and fiddle and still find something that i have missed and reckon i have to stop at certain point and be satisfied.
Neutron balances your mix first and you do not have to gain stage. Accept or not . You have the choice to re- jig.
After that it is up to your ears , then over to Ozone to master.
Also Lurssen have a great offer from IK multimedia. This is the Lurssen mix console that you put on your ipad and test your song in your car stereo and hi-fi's. £30 for the top version. I think the offer is ending very soon.
All In all Cubase is the top boy
The money saved from lockdown can get you the mix suite!!
All the best
John
