Pretty nice if you don’t want to buy the bundle right off the bat. Oh, and they have an awesome pricing model where if you buy the plugins one at a time, each subsequent one is reduced in price by a larger amount than the last. The tools that you’d use regularly have great UIs, somehow don’t use a ton of CPU – especially compared to Ozone – have an astonishing level of depth if you want to get into modulation (Saturn and Volcano), and most importantly they sound excellent. They have a very narrow focus and it shows. I’ve moved over to using fabfilter stuff, and it’s just killer in every way. It sounds good, but I feel like it’s gotten pretty cluttered with the number of modules, the paid upgrade cycle is a little too fast for my taste, and the machine learning stuff and needing to drop relays on everything just kind of clutters it up even more. I have those on the master bus every time.Īs for the rest of Ozone. Nothing wrong with Ozone 9 but it may not get updatates once 10 is out (if you’re on macos, may matter, for windows, no problems).ĭitto on Tonal Balance and Insight 2. Just remember to set for all ozone modules the crossovers to Hybrid mode (they default on analog which introduces audible phase shifts)įinal note: Ozone 10 may be around the corner but with higher price of course. It’s on my every project on the master channel and aswell on the tracks (if the situation requires).

The dynamics in Ozone is simply mindblowing if you know your way around multiband compression. Out of the box is not very useful, but once you have the curves and understanding how it works, is a quite unique meter - I use it all the time Tonal Balance control as metering solution is quite handy once you have a proper custom curve made out of proper references (the included ones are meh for electronic dance music) and know how to use it (neither the documentation neither iZotope’s own tutorials show how to donit reliably so you need to figure out yourself). If you routinely restore older music, then may be handy If you are making music, then you always have access to your mix and you can correct with higher accuracy whatever those tools are able to do. Low end focus and spectral shaper are repair tools.
