Hi there,
on my stereo bus I regularly use Ozone and Tonal Balance.
Now recently I acquired Sonarworks and I am a bit lost as to where exactly place Sonarworks on the stereo bus along with iZotope's Ozone and Tonal Balance.
Is the correct order:
1. Sonarworks - Ozone - Tonal Balance
or
2. Ozone - Sonarworks - Tonal Balance
or
3. Ozone - Tonal Balance - Sonarworks
I tend to 3 but I'd love to hear other opinions as well.
Thank you

It's not a matter of opinion if you are after the benefits that Sonarworks affords, that is calibrated monitor set up. Sonarworks should be the last process before the output to the monitors. It's purpose is to correct your monitors using a standard input compared to what your monitors reproduce. putting processing after it negates it's intended purpose and benefits. it's not an effects plugin.

What just came into my mind though: When I run mastering assistant in Ozone and do EQ changes in Tonal Balance - I do all of this with Sonarworks being turned on but for the rendering I put it on bypass or eliminate it from the stereo bus.
Is my understanding correct?

That is correct. otherwise Sonarworks will be printed in the render and then affect the audio on all playback. since Sonarworks is "tuned" to your headphones it means everyone will get that adjustment. That's not what you want. So Sonarworks on when you are monitoring so that the audio is calibrated to your headphone. Sonarworks off when you render. Then, if someone else has Sonarworks they can put it on your track so that it plays back calibrated to THEIR system.TheRogue wrote: ↑Sat Jan 25, 2020 9:22 pm What just came into my mind though: When I run mastering assistant in Ozone and do EQ changes in Tonal Balance - I do all of this with Sonarworks being turned on but for the rendering I put it on bypass or eliminate it from the stereo bus.

Some DAWs have a "post" output region for plugins. If yours does, that's the place for metering plugins and any listening/correction plugins that you wouldn't want to affect the render. The DAW would naturally ignore those plugins when you export the project.

How can you hide the window of Reference 4 at startup on Mac?
Despite what Sonarworks claim below it doesn't work for me. The annoying window shows up at every system start. I want to start Reference 4.5.5 at startup but HIDDEN IN THE BACKGROUND. Is it because I'm running the trial? I tried reinstalling from scratch it still doesn't hide at startup.

Interestingly Ozone Master Assistant recommended changes to my song's EQ which made it not fit Tonal Balance Control but the EQ did fit before Ozone Master Assistant! I guess i need to be vigilant to Ozone Master Assistant's choices!
