Give it more space

- [Narrator] Often times I'll get a request…to give the mix more space…and that can be a dangerous request…because you can risk making the mix…sound too distant if you give it more space.…And it's also tricky because it could take away from…the immediacy that you've achieved…with a rather dry mix.…So, I try to focus that request…on one or two different elements of a mix,…not an entire mix.…You've heard of it,…you've maybe tried yourself,…adding a reverb instantiation,…let's say, into the stereo mix…where everything goes through a reverb of type.…

I can't remember if Ozone 7…has one of those programs that adds reverb,…let me see if there's a reverb program here.…There isn't, but there was in Ozone 5.…And you could also add any kind of reverb device…to the entire mix and just adjust the mix control,…you'd want to pick something really high quality…which all of these things are…and just add a taste,…but again then you have the danger, I would say,…of making the mix sound a little murky…or a little too distant.…

So I like to choose one specific aspect of the mix.…
