Izotope Rx: Analyzing masters with iZotope Insight and Tonal Balance Control
Izotope RxDemo summary
The user imports the mastered files into a DAW and uses iZotope Insight to check loudness levels and Tonal Balance Control to compare frequency ranges against a pop music target.
Step-by-step
- Open iZotope Insight to monitor loudness levels
- Play the audio tracks to identify the LUFS range
- Open iZotope Tonal Balance Control
- Select the 'Pop' target curve to view recommended frequency ranges
- Compare the track's frequency distribution against the target ranges
Options
- Compare different master versions (A, B, C, D) against each other
Watch out for
- Tonal balance results are heavily dependent on the quality of the original mix, not just the mastering process
Tips
- Aim for a loudness level in the -9 to -10 LUFS range
- Monitor the low-mid frequencies specifically to ensure they aren't being lost against the target curve
