Description
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
New in Ozone 4
Intelligent Workflow
Interface — Ozone 4 software's clean, intuitively designed modules help you get better results faster.
MacroPresets — These powerful presets go a step farther by allowing you to quickly adjust parameters like “warmth,” “width” or “bass” to get the results you want quickly—with over 100 mastering presets included.
Intelligent Crossovers — Ozone listens to the incoming audio signal to automatically set the optimal crossover cutoff points for the software's multiband modules.
Global Amount controls — Adjust each of Ozone 4 software's modules with a convenient Amount control. Dial in more aggressive or subtler EQ curve or dynamics settings with one simple slider.
Processing Innovations
IRC Loudness Maximizer: Intelligent II Mode — Loudness Maximizer mode listens to incoming audio to handle transients with unprecedented sharpness and clarity while boosting the loudness of your mixes.
Mid/side processing — Adds a whole new dimension of power to Ozone software's EQ, Dynamics, Harmonic Exciter and Reverb by letting you process the center and edges of the soundstage separately.
Hybrid Crossovers — New perfect reconstruction analog crossover mode maintains precise crossover points while providing the warm characteristics of analog crossovers.
Optimized Performance — State of the art processing algorithms, optimized for today's low-latency DAW environments.
