Re: Opinions Sought: BBE Sonic Maximizer

2004-08-21 by Mike Marsh

I should have mentioned that I use Izotope's Ozone now on just about 
every final mix.  It gives a much more detailed final product than 
BBE.  Of course it's more expensive, but in my opinion this is THE 
secret weapon in mixdown technology.

I have a friend that uses a BBE (hardware) in his guitar rig and 
will not play live without it!
