The Preset Manager can now be undocked and incorporates a degree of editing, courtesy of the excellent new Macro Faders. Looks aside, amongst a whole raft of changes and improvements are a redesign of the preset system module‑level and global Amount controls Mid/Side processing options for each of the three multi‑band modules and the reverb a new mode for the Loudness Maximiser, with superior handling of transients optional automatic gain adjustment when the Bypass control is applied and 'K‑System' metering, which is based on ideas developed by Bob Katz. Ozone 4 benefits from a cosmetic overhaul - the look is now futuristic and generally very pleasing to the eye - but most of the key controls remain in familiar places, which is a good thing if you are upgrading.
Readers might, therefore, refer back to the original 2002 review ( /sos/apr02/articles/izotopeozone.asp) for the basics, and I'll focus here on some of the key improvements in this release. The general operation of the plug‑in and its core modules has remained very similar through Ozone's development. Izotope's flagship, all‑in‑one mastering suite was first reviewed by SOS back in the April 2002 issue, and version 4 was launched at the recent NAMM show with a list of new features and improvements.Īt its heart, Ozone 4 is still based around the six modules found in the original release: Paragraphic Equaliser, Mastering Reverb, Multi‑band Dynamics, Multi‑band Harmonic Exciter, Multi‑band Stereo Imaging and Loudness Maximiser.
Ozone 4's smart new look: note the module and global Amount sliders and the new Intelligent II mode for the Loudness Maximizer. The tool is fully customizable and scalable, allowing you to visually control all relevant information about Surround, Mono and Stereo in a convenient floating window.Izotope's comprehensive suite of mastering tools continues to develop and mature, yet still offers excellent value for money. IZotope Insight – (tools for measuring and analyzing audio) – a comprehensive set of unique tools for measuring, analyzing and visual editing of any audio at the stages of mastering and mixing, to diagnose any problematic mixes and qualitatively adjust the volume level to internationally accepted standards. Using such an application, which is distinguished by its flexibility and functionality, you can quickly and accurately process any musical composition, bringing it to perfection and making its sound more high-quality, perfect and uniquely sounding. iZotope Ozone is an ideal option that puts at the disposal of every musician absolutely innovative and perfect instruments. In one integrated plug-in, all the necessary tools are collected that are necessary for the post-processing of various musical compositions.
