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 IRCã 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
MacroPresetsİeach 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
CPUsage, 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 Compareİshift 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
disabledİuseful 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 optimizationsİchanges to the EQ
require less CPU overhead
Mastering Reverb
Mid/Side support for both Plate and Room reverb
modesİadjust 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 materialİget loud, full
mixes without distortion and pumping
Harmonic Exciter
New Warm mode produces only even harmonics with a
fast decay rate, adding anothernique color to
Ozone's Harmonic Exciter
Mid/Side processing is available for all algorithms
and bands
Multiband Dynamics
Auto gain compensationİautomatically 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 algorithmİcombines 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 optimizationsİchanges 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 sourceİchoose between stereo and
mid-side meters.
