So I'm trying to bring my track to up to about 14LUFS (more out of interest than anything since this is on the output of the project rather than from an already bounced file in a separate mastering project).
I have recently picked up this Ozone plugin with a maximiser which is very nice looking and seems to sound fine so far but while playing around with it I'm finding some odd things.
My track is Peaking around -2.4db without anything on the output.
However, if I set the Ozone up to bring me to 14LUFS it clips at about 1.6 on my output in the logic mixer.
I have the "Ceiling" set to -1 to try to avoid any digital clipping etc but it makes no difference. I still clip up above 1db on the logic stereo output.
I tried even using the Ozone mastering AI to see if it would figure out something clever since I'm not especially familiar with this yet but no luck - same problem.
There is absolutely nothing else on the output (not even a meter after the ozone).
I was under the impression that the maximiser was meant to act like a limiter so setting the ceiling should kill the sound and make it horrible and squashed before it would allow me to clip on the output...
Why is this not the case??
Any advice about where I am going wrong would be much appreciated.
