The redesigned user interface provides an even better mastering experience, allowing users to apply any saturation mode (Warm, Retro, Tape, Tube, Triode, or Dual Triode) to any individual frequency band in the Exciter, and use Ozone Advanced within a preferred host as a single plug-in, as individual component plug-ins, or work within the Ozone standalone application.
Version 8 also includes improved signal processing, and refinements to the user interface and workflow. Ozone 8 also allows deeper control in Ozone’s Maximizer with a new low latency IRC mode, Transient/Sustain Stereo Independence, and Learn Threshold. Users can also create a custom preset with the Master Assistant to get audio to an optimal starting point, tame problematic and harsh frequencies with the new Spectral Shaper module, and quickly A/B track references right from any instance of Ozone or in its standalone application. This feature is able to communicate with Neutron 2 Advanced for a seamless mixing and mastering workflow. Ozone 8 introduces a wealth of brand new features, including the ability for users to dial in the perfect tonal balance with the new Tonal Balance Control plug-in, which can access any instance of Ozone across all tracks. And more importantly, we offered them the tools to help fix those issues, with communication and control between the mixing and mastering plug-ins.” With Tonal Balance Control, we created a new analysis tool that helps educate users on why their mixes and masters may be lacking in certain areas. “Mixing, and mastering especially, can often be difficult to understand, and getting your songs to sound like commercial releases can often be a struggle. “We see Tonal Balance Control as the missing piece between mixing and mastering,” says Dan Gonzalez, Product Manager at iZotope. Tonal Balance Control can also compare audio to a custom upload to inform how users shape its sonic profile and across listening environments.
The Tonal Balance Control visual analysis tool not only brings Ozone 8 and Neutron 2 together, but measures the distribution of energy across frequencies, comparing audio to targets created from analysis of tens of thousands of commercially available tracks, spanning a variety of musical styles. This new level of inter-plugin communication puts more power in users’ hands, allowing them to achieve tonally balanced, professional mixes and masters that sound great in any listening environment.
The Advanced versions of Ozone 8 and Neutron 2 feature ground-breaking technology, including the ability to communicate with each other through the new Tonal Balance Control plug-in.
