I have an idea. Izotope your Ozone 11 is grate but I have a little complain. I mix my my songs to sound analog as possible and when I master it with Ozone it brings my mix to very good ( finished) place but it lost that analog feel. Maybe you should make Ozone 12 more analog sounding. You should do a collaboration with acustica audio or UAD.

Hot tip: if you have to regularly quantize your drummer, you need a new drummer.
