iZotope has updated its mastering software, Ozone – retaining the workflow and audio processing of earlier versions, Ozone 7 promises ‘to add sonic characteristics of analogue hardware to digital recording’.
The Ozone family comprises Ozone 7 and Ozone 7 Advanced, which offers additional features for ‘gluing’ a mix. Ozone 7 Advanced includes four new vintage-inspired modules, designed to add analogue character to digital recordings, and a new Codec Preview feature for auditioning the effect of industry-standard codecs on a master in advance ofdigital distribution.
‘Ozone 7 builds on iZotope’s reputation for superior sound quality and mastering tools,’ says iZotope Product Manager, Izzy Maxwell. ‘We’ve added new processing capabilities that honor all the aspects of vintage hardware that people love—warmth, saturation, character, richness – and reimagines them for the modern digital music production realm.’
Ozone 7 runs as a standalone application, or as a plug-in for audio editing software. Ozone 7 Advanced includes ten additional component plug-ins for direct access to individual Ozone modules in your host. Ozone 7 Advanced is available as part of iZotope’s Music Production Bundle, with Insight, Alloy 2, Nectar 2 Production Suite and Trash 2 (plus two Trash Expansions).
The Music Production Bundle, Ozone 7 Advanced and Ozone 7 ship in Q4 2015.
