Taken from our An Evening with iZotope event , this in depth video overview, iZotope product specialist Brandon Carroll walks us through Ozone 7, a widely used mastering tool that can be used as a DAW plugin or separately as a standalone application. Ozone is an incredibly extensive tool that includes 11 different modules: Equalizer, Vintage EQ, Vintage Tape, Exciter, Vintage Compressor, Dynamics, Dynamic EQ, Imager, Post Equalizer, Vintage Limiter, and Maximizer
First, he explains the user interface overhaul and the new modules that were incorporated. You can also apply a single module from ozone onto individual tracks in your session. Brandon demonstrates this by applying the tape module to his drum bus.
He then touches on their popular IRC limiting algorithms. Then he introduces IRCIV, the new frequency dependent setting they have added to Ozone 7.
Brandon then demonstrates the effect soloing capabilities, as well as the flexibility of the EQ module. He also showcases the mastering presets included, the codec previews, and gain neutral bypass function.
When using Ozone as a standalone host, it allows you to insert other plugins into its mastering signal flow. Brandon inserts Insight, iZotope's metering suite.
Ozone 7 also features a powerful Undo History window that makes it easy to A/B any changes you make. Every tweak or movement of a control is listed in the Undo History window. This is very useful after you've been tweaking settings over a long period of time and ear fatigue sets in.
