So I made a track (EDM), did all the regulars to prepare for mastering. Loaded the track in Izotope. Loaded a Pro track as a reference by a reputable DJ, track was a major hit.
Hit that master assistant.
When Izotope was done on the master assistant stage, no changes were made to my track, none. Only the Threshold went to -20dB for the target loudness part which was very loud, had to adjust it to a reasonable volume.
Does this mean I managed to produce a track in par with a pro producer.?

Even the equalizer stayed stagnant, no changes on anything. The track does sound pretty descent but I need the insight from others who know about mastering

 

Welcome to AS!
Maybe this 'DJ' (who made a track?) used iZotope! hehe.
But seriously, did aforementioned DJ actually master the track themselves I wonder?
How good does this track actually sound anyway?
What is the track, please?

 

Railbreaker by Riot Ten.
That's a proper Dim Mak release. That's the reference I used

 

What a lovely sentiment that track has.

 

Hahah yeah. But back to my track that matched this.
Did I manage to do a proper pro job with my mix or what?

 

I haven't heard it!

 

Do you know anything about mixing and mastering on a pro level? Coz if you do, then you can definitely answer the question. That simple

 

Ha! Do u know about how iZotope push their way on u?
We had some threads about the fact that one of the sites that does comparisons is owned by one of the IZotope founding members!
If u are asking this question to a musician and engineer of over 30 years with it being my main income (profession), u don't need to know the answer.
Why do u rate Master Assistant in iZtotope?
I think it's crap.
Play us the tune and we'll tell u what's up.
Maybe u didn't use it properly. How would we know?

 

The problem with these tools is this: they measure the level of the frequencies and their dynamics and can match them to another track. They do not measure the content, ofc.
In terms of level and dynamics you can, for instance, built a nice low end with BD only and no bass at all. Or the other way around, with bass only and no BD at all. But these tools can't differentiate this, and therefore matching one track to another doesn't necessarily say anything about the mix.
