Ozone 6 from iZotope is a major update to the Ozone line-up with an improved visual aesthetic that guides users through every stage of the mastering process. Aside from the fluid workflow, the 'creative' elements of mastering are now front and center, so users can define their own sound with ease.
Two equalizers are included that combine eight bands of adjustable filters with a choice of filter shapes. Each band of dynamics is capable of three types of dynamics processing - limiting, compressing, and expanding, while an exciter module allows for dialing in the right amount of bite or warmth to a master. Precisely adjust stereo width of an audio file using the four-frequency-band Imager module.
Additional presets have been created with outcome-oriented descriptions. Dithering has been updated and includes a set of bit scopes and DC level meters. The application also function standalone, with the added enhancement of third party plug-in hosting. Trim and fade controls are provided, along with SRC (sample rate conversion) on import, plus single- and multiple-file export with the company's MBIT+ Dither.
Current purchases of Ozone 6 are eligible for a free upgrade to Ozone 7 on its release.
