🟥🟧🟨⬜️Mastering with Ozone 11 Maximizer: The IRC 3 - Pumping mode
I won’t adventure into saying this mode is “the best”. But I will say it’s the cleanest. In the video, the red harmonics are IRC 3 - Pumping, while the blue harmonics are the the other modes.

🟥🟧🟨⬜️Ozone 11 Exciter for mastering - Retro and Tape
When mastering, at least for me, the main purpose for the saturation is to control peaks, not necessarily to add extra color to the overall tonal balance of the mix.

→ Digital EQ mixed phase setting
If you hear pre-ringing when using digital mode, you can reduce it at the expense of introducing some phase shift. This kind of mixed phase is present in other EQs as well. Not necessarily something that gets frequent use but it’s here.

this plug-in can introduce over 350 ms of latency.
The Buffer Size represents CPU usage vs latency relationship. If you don’t care about latency but want to save CPU, go for the largest buffer. If you need the smallest latency, and have plenty of CPU resources, go for the smallest buffer.

→ Soft saturation
This can get out of hand really easy, sonically speaking. The tooltip says that it should gradually roll off the level through EQ bands if they start to saturate. What I hear is soft clipping when the signal peak gets closer to zero - it happens even if there’s no

→ Show extra curves
You can see the phase response of the filters. It’s a good exercise to see how much or how little a phase shift is affecting the sound. Sometimes we give it too much attention.
Also the Group delay - how long a sound would postring if a steep filter is applied.

You can average the spectrum display across an entire song section and observe if there are spectral buildups in some areas.

Speaking of clipping options, The PCM mode of TDR Limiter 6 can provide some grit when needed.
If you want to test how various rounding errors sound, you can demo this plug-in: Make believe Good Math. And per dev instructions, "don't forget to check out the A-hole!!!"
