The mastering assistant: Available exclusively on the mothership plug-in, the assistant is powered by artificial intelligence and machine learning and received a significant upgrade on v10. Besides the new processors, improved mastering assistant and reworked interface, the v10 mothership is largely the same as v8 and v9 versions except for the module for hosting external plug-ins inside Ozone, which is now gone as it was offered mostly because of the now-discontinued Ozone 10 standalone app. The mothership also allows users to load a reference track for quick comparisons and it offers a handy loudness-compensated bypass function, so you don’t let louder levels make you look like a fool when evaluating what Ozone is doing to the program material. Nowadays it houses up to seventeen sound processing modules that can be freely arranged in series to build a mastering chain, and it also offers RMS/Peak level metering for input and output, dither for bit-depth conversion, codec preview for checking how it will sound on MP3 and AAC formats.
The Ozone plug-in: The “mothership” plug-in with a modular design that firmly established iZotope in the game many years ago. First let’s have a quick look at the Ozone Advanced plug-in itself and the Mastering Assistant, then I'll give you a brief rundown for each module before proceeding to the scores. So how does it fare in 2022?įor this review we’ll cover the Ozone Advanced version, which is the one that encompasses exclusive features and also everything available in the Elements and Standard versions, with a total of sixteen distinct processors that are available both as modules to be used inside the Ozone “mothership” plug-in and as Audio Unit, AAX or VST plug-ins for Mac and Windows.
Ozone needs no introduction as it arrives at its tenth iteration and for nearly two decades it has proven itself to be an extremely valuable and highly popular asset for those working with mastering in the box, and over the years iZotope has added many features to keep up with the times.
