Preset

spacerPresets

  • New Preset Manager with improved workflow. Undock it to a floating window so you can work with presets while tweaking Ozone's modules
  • 140 professionally designed presets help you get results faster than ever before
  • MacroPresets—each preset now contains one or more MacroFaders that allow you to quickly tweak a preset's sound without leaving the preset manager
  • MacroPreset Editor lets you link multiple parameters from Ozone's modules to your own custom MacroFaders
  • Preset Folders help you find the perfect starting point faster, and you can organize your own presets any way you like

Workflow

spacerWorkflow

  • Beautifully redesigned graphical user interface with controls and labels that are easier to work with on high-resolution displays
  • Module Amount Controls allow you to intelligently apply more or less of each module quickly and easily
  • Global Amount Control lets you dynamically apply more or less of Ozone's processing with one single control
  • Significant optimizations throughout Ozone to reduce CPU usage, especially when making changes to parameters
  • Automatic Bypass Gain control enables Ozone to match its own effective gain when bypassed letting you A/B processed and unprocessed audio at the same perceived loudness
  • Bypassed modules are grayed and display a blinking red "bypass" indicator (optional) to make it easier to see which modules are inactive
  • Bypass or Solo mid and side channels as you work to hear the effect each module has on the soundstage
  • Fader Compare—shift click any fader to jump between its current and last value for quick A/B comparisons
  • Keyboard shortcuts in Ozone can be partially or fully disabled—useful if Ozone shares shortcut keys with your host application

EQ

spacerParagraphic EQ

  • Redesigned interface for better workflow
  • Mid/Side equalization with Bypass/Solo controls and transparent, color coded EQ curve displays
  • Info Panel can now be docked at the bottom of the EQ display and does not hide the EQ's controls and spectrum analyzer
  • EQ nodes are now numbered for easier automation and adjustment
  • Select and drag multiple EQ nodes to adjust their gain, frequency and Q relative to each other
  • Significant CPU optimizations—changes to the EQ require less CPU overhead
Spacer

Reverb

spacerMastering Reverb

  • Mid/Side support for both Plate and Room reverb modes—adjust reverb separately on center and edges of your audio
  • Improved metering
Spacer

Maximizer

spacerIRC Loudness Maximizer

  • New "Intelligent II" mode offers superior processing quality on transient source material—get loud, full mixes without distortion and pumping
Spacer

Exciter

spacerHarmonic Exciter

  • New Warm mode produces only even harmonics, crafted to produce less high frequency harmonics leading to a warmer character and adding another unique color to Ozone's Harmonic Exciter*
  • Mid/Side processing is available for all algorithms and bands
Spacer

Dynamics

spacerMultiband Dynamics

  • Auto gain compensation—automatically sets the makeup gain to compensate for changes in loudness due to dynamics process
  • Mid/Side support for all bands and meters
  • Mix Control provides built-in parallel compression
  • Includes global controls for all bands as well as separate controls for mid/side in each band
Spacer

Imaging

spacerStereo Imaging

  • Improved metering including redesigned vectorscope and correlation meter
  • Meters can now fade out their history rather than their old infinite hold behavior
Spacer

Crossover

spacerCrossover

  • New Hybrid Crossover algorithm—combines Analog and Digital methods, offering analog character with perfect reconstruction characteristics
  • Learn function will evaluate the incoming source material and find natural crossover points automatically
  • Significant CPU optimizations—changes to crossover frequencies require less CPU overhead
  • The Mute control on each band has been converted to a Solo control for improved workflow
  • Crossover cutoff values can be keyed in manually by double-clicking the readouts and typing
Spacer

Meters

spacerInput/Output and Metering

  • Complete K-System metering support, as specified in popular publications by Bob Katz
  • Completely redesigned Input/Output Meters offer improved ballistics and joint RMS and Peak metering modes
  • Meters can detect inter-sample peaks for metering of true analog peak levels
  • Gain can be entered numerically by double-clicking the gain readouts
  • Linear and non-linear dB scale options
  • Selectable metering source—choose between stereo and mid-side meters.
