For the past 17 years, iZotope’s Ozone has supplied the final polish for countless mixes, from small project studios to pro rooms and everything in between. Version 9 of this industry-standard mastering software suite outshines its predecessors with extensive performance tweaks, Native Instruments NKS support, a modern, resizable interface, and more. Three versions of Ozone 9 are available: the affordable Ozone 9 Elements, the project-studio-tailored Ozone 9 Standard, and the pro-level Ozone 9 Advanced.
Ozone 9 Elements
Ozone 9 Elements comes loaded with essential mastering tools that are guaranteed to make your home studio productions “pop.” An improved Imager injects shallow, narrow-sounding mixes with glorious width and depth via iZotope’s new Stereoize II mode, which contains per-band controls for surgical sculpting of your stereo image. You get Ozone’s famous Maximizer for bringing transparent loudness to your mixes, and if you’re not sure where to begin, then Master Assistant is on hand to give you a great starting point. Dozens of professionally designed presets are also included.
Ozone 9 Standard
If you master in-house, don’t skimp on quality — get Ozone 9 Standard. Along with all the benefits of Ozone 9 Elements, this software suite includes numerous high-level features that are tailor-made for project studio owners. Vintage mode brings the perfect amount of color and character to your mixes. Targets for CD and streaming ensure optimal loudness for each medium, or you can load a reference track and have Master Assistant match the track’s flavor and intensity. You can also match to any reference track to an extreme degree using Ozone 9 Standard’s upgraded Match EQ. Ozone 9 Standard includes everything you need to crank out great-sounding masters.
Ozone 9 Advanced
If you’re a serious mastering engineer, then you need serious tools like the ones included with Ozone 9 Advanced. You get all the powerful features of Ozone 9 Elements and Ozone 9 Standard, as well as a bevy of top-shelf processors that will enable you to work faster and easier while achieving the professional results that you demand. Master Rebalance makes correcting lopsided mixes easy, and Low End Focus tightens up muddy mixes with a few simple mouse clicks. Ozone 9 Advanced’s retooled Tonal Balance Control boasts faster performance, smoother metering, and enhanced inter-plug-in communication with other iZotope products. Best of all, you can use Ozone 9 Advanced as a single plug-in, as individual component plug-ins, or in standalone mode.
