iZotope Ozone 4™ software combines seven essential mastering processors into one complete system, letting you give your mixes a finished, full and professional sound. Ozone software’s critically acclaimed IRC™ (Intelligent Release Control) Loudness Maximizer gives you commercial volume and fullness without distorting or coloring your mix. An eight band Paragraphic EQ combines linear phase precision with the warmth and character of analog equalizers and even lets you intelligently match your mix to reference tracks. Innovative Multiband Dynamics, Harmonic Exciter and Stereo Imaging tools add depth and polish to your projects. And because these modules are integrated in a single powerful interface, Ozone maintains the highest-quality processing throughout the entire signal chain while also making the mastering process more efficient and intuitive than ever before.
Seven Essential Mastering Tools
Loudness Maximizer
Ozone software's acclaimed IRC (Intelligent Release Control) Loudness Maximizer lets you boost the level of your mixes without sacrificing dynamics and clarity.
intelligent limiting modes provide amazing results, greatly reducing pumping on transients and letting you get louder, fuller mixes without unwanted artifacts
Gain Reduction and Histogram meters provide valuable visual feedback
Multiband Dynamics
Shape the dynamics of your mix with up to four bands of analog-modeled compression, limiting, gating and expansion.
apply dynamics processors selectively to different frequency ranges, and even to the center and edges of the sound stage with mid/side processing
automatic Gain Compensation allows you to easily compare your mix with and without dynamics processing applied
choose from analog, linear phase or hybrid crossovers
real-time visualization of the dynamics within each band with histogram, gain reduction and dynamics transfer metering
Paragraphic Equalizer
Ozone software's versatile EQ allows you to add warmth and character with analog-modeled filters, or precisely boost and cut frequencies with digital linear phase filters.
eight bands of bell, high-pass, low-pass, high-shelf or low-shelf filters
fully configurable spectrum analyzer
matching mode lets you use spectrum snapshots of recordings to create automatic EQ curves
powerful mid/side processing mode gives you unprecedented control over the center and edges of the soundstage
|
Multiband Harmonic Exciter
Add warmth, sparkle and shine with four separate bands of excitation.
choose from tube or tape-modeled saturation and more, with adjustable mix controls for each band
unique multiband time offset controls for tightening and adding attack to bass and kick
mid/side processing lets you add color to different parts of the soundstage separately
Multiband Stereo Imaging
Provides up to four bands of widening for adding space to your mix.
apply multichannel delay controls to adjust the perceived location of the stereo field
visualize the stereo image with vectorscope and correlation meters that help you troubleshoot potential phase problems
Mastering Reverb
Dual-mode reverb for adding final ambience and cohesive sense of space to mixes.
choose from plate or room algorithms
control room size, pre-delay, width, frequency cut-off and more
mid/side controls allow you to apply ambience to different parts of the soundstage
Dither
Prepare studio-quality audio for CD and other formats with essential dithering tools.
includes iZotope MBIT+ Dither for exceptionally transparent conversion to different bit depths
unique set of bit scopes and DC level meters provides a complete view of the digital bitstream and conversion process
