Though not imperative, a zoom control would be helpful. There’s no way to zoom in on the beginning or end to get a close-up look at what you’re trimming, however. In addition to applying your processing chain to each one, you can trim the beginning and end of the audio file and add fades. You can load up to 16 audio files in the standalone version. What’s more, in Ozone 9 Advanced, the assorted modules from the program are available as individual component plug-ins in your DAW, which can be handy for both mastering and mixing. I did my testing in Ozone Advanced 9.0.2.Īs with previous versions, you can run Ozone either as a standalone application or as a plug-in, which iZotope refers to as the Mothership. When discussing new features in this review, I’ll indicate which are included in the various versions. Ozone comes in Advanced, Standard and Elements versions. It adds three new powerful, yet easy-to-use modules that accomplish complex mastering tasks simply, and features a new and improved Master Assistant, which analyzes your audio and suggests settings. With the release of Ozone 9, iZotope keeps that pattern going. Ozone has always offered powerful processing and a user-friendly interface, allowing it to appeal to both experienced engineers and mastering newbies. The Master Rebalance module is one of the highlights of Ozone 9 Advanced.
