Advice- doesn't matter what plugins you have, it's how you use them. Fancy presets won't help you much, you have to have good monitors and more importantly, good ears

Use a reference track of a similar style and compare the relative volume of each part

I've been using a site called eMastered, Instant Mastering - it was made by grammy award winners that have worked on big records from taylor swifts 1989, beyonce, maroon 5, etc.

Sounds dope and it's free.

Best advice you'll get about mastering is to pay a Mastering Engineer who has years of experience and a purpose built & acoustically beautiful room, filled with expensive equipment to do your mastering for you.

There're two nice guides in PDF on the izotope website, I think they'll help get you started.

I remember Pointblank, Dubspot, and DJ Vespers had some good ones. Plenty of other ppl make solid tuts too.

I'd obviously watch the tutorial for whatever version of Ozone you have too. Youtube search is your friend
