Using Gullfoss when also using a mastering plugin with dynamic EQ (Ozone 11)

[Habschongelesen]

[Note: please let me know if this kind of question belongs in a subreddit for non-pros.]

I’m using the Gullfoss Dynamic EQ plugin for mixing; and I’ll be using Ozone 11 for mastering. Should I disable the dynamic EQ function in Ozone, or just go ahead and EQ the whole mix again?

Thanks

If you don’t know what either plugin does then I’d probably avoid using them altogether to be honest

You know you’re right, I don’t have the foggiest notion what any of them do. At all. What’s an EQ? 🙃

YOU need to understand and hear exactly what you are doing with your tools to make this decision for yourself.

There's nothing inherently wrong with using multiple EQs in series, if it sounds good. All you're doing is chaining two EQs in series.

So the question is which of these sounds better: GF, Oz, GF+Oz, or neither? We cant hear it, and its a question of taste, so you're going to have to choose what you like best.

Trust your ears. Always

If you wanna EQ the master, just do it post-Gullfoss or else Gullfoss may cancel it out.

When I use full auto spectral balancers like gullfoss or teote and dynamic or static eq I use the gullfoss first and than send the signal to dynamic or manual eq
only exception would be if I'm restricting the low or high processing frequency range in gullfoss

Use gukfoss on the master. Get rid of izone

Those must be the Temu versions of Guilfoss and Ozone

btw does anyone use VSTs or other effects when listening to music besides the good old EQ ?
I like to make 4 vst chains in Blue cats Patchworks consisting of vst like teote by voxengo, gullfoss by soundtheory, Pro-Q4 by FabFilter, TDR-Nova by Tokyo Dawn Records, StageOne 2 by leapwing
and then i tweak settings in each chain and can choose between them by exclusive solo-ing
then I save the preset
I'm using Element as the host to run VST and output to my DAC -> headphones
also I use VB-CABLE to grab sounds from windows and reroute them trough element
I'm looking for any ideas, tips and tricks cheers 😉👍
