It's not finished until Ozone is on it.

The process of mastering ranges from correcting
mistakes made in the mix to preparing a recording for
target listening environments. Like a final coat of
polish, mastering makes the difference between a good
sounding mix and a professional sounding master. When
you're ready to master, Ozone is all you need.

Ozone 4 combines seven essential mastering processors
into one complete system, letting you give your mixes
a finished, full and professional sound. Ozone's
critically acclaimed IRC. 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
music.

All of these modules are combined into a single,
powerful interface, making the mastering process more
efficient and intuitive than ever before. Whether
you're a seasoned professional or simply ready to
take your productions to the next level, Ozone is the
complete solution you need. Your mix isn't finished
until you put it through Ozone.


The Most Powerful Ozone Ever.


Ozone 4 incorporates an extensive list of new
features, optimizations, workflow improvements and
DSP algorithms. No matter how you're using Ozone,
you'll find features in Ozone 4 that will help you
sound better and work faster.


New in Ozone 4


Presets


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


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



Paragraphic 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



Mastering Reverb

Mid/Side support for both Plate and Room reverb
modes.adjust reverb separately on center and edges of
your audio

Improved metering



IRC Loudness Maximizer

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



Harmonic Exciter

New Warm mode produces only even harmonics with a
fast decay rate, adding another unique color to
Ozone's Harmonic Exciter

Mid/Side processing is available for all algorithms
and bands



Multiband 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



Stereo Imaging

Improved metering including redesigned vectorscope
and correlation meter

Meters can now fade out their history rather than
their old infinite hold behavior



Crossover

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



Input/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.
