Ozone is dope, but what's even more dope is seeing a woman that looks like me in such an esteemed role.

Straight up if I were to meet a women like her I'd throw a ring at her instantly.

How cool is she??!!! Forbes did a good job picking her for 30 under 30!! What an absolute legend.

I don’t even mind an ad if it’s this inspirational.

I'm sure she knows a lot, but we're not really learning anything here on OZ9. For the song to really be the star, you got to :
A/ Place your monitors properly in a [not so bad] [at least minimum treated] room
B/ Try to know them better each day
C/ Listen to your mixes everywhere on a largest scope of devices, in your car, portable bluetooth speakers, HiFi etc.
Not satisfied ? Apply corrections, you're just improving on B/
D/ Mixing HipHop or RnB ? Mix on both monitors & headphones, it will be listened on headphones by most pp anyway
E/ Trust your ears, not your eyes (except for very specific items like phase, etc. where visuals really help)

Especially I'm not sure I want a tool for quick fixing what's not been done correctly during the mixing process. I want a tool that further refines a mix that already has all the clarity mixing can offer. Well, at least that's my 2 cents, maybe it's just me ... Ideally I want a tool to point out that I maybe was going on a wrong direction during the mix process and suggest other paths (which I'm sure Ozone does), but I don't like the idea of "Erh, enough time spent on the mix, we can quick fix all that with Ozone anyway".

I'm sure Ozone is a great product, just don't give future users bad habits / lazy behaviours ;)
Mixing and mastering is craftsmanship, it's not always easy, you sometimes have to put a lot into it, but over time it really makes sense.

I feel like I could build a rocket to the next dimension with her mastering formulas.
