"Ozone 6 is slicker and more flexible than its predecessor" However, Ozone 5 was also peppered with dropdown menus and buried options, and you'll soon notice - and appreciate - that version 6 brings some of these to the foreground. Smooth operatorĪs expected, the vast majority of Ozone 6's features are identical to those of version 5, delivering both precise and sweetening EQ, subtle or audible dynamic control, state-of-the- art loudness maximising, and 'fairy dust' extras such as stereo image adjustment and harmonic enhancement. Audio quality can be set to 16-, 24- and 32-bit, with sample rates from 11,025Hz to 192kHz. When you're done, you can export either the selected track or all tracks from the workspace. The current workspace can be saved as an Ozone Project, incorporating your imported audio, exported audio and settings within one folder. These are chosen from a list (categorised by manufacturer), and appear in floating windows when opened for editing. There's also the option to load external VST/AU plugins into any of the six Module slots. Multiple files (in WAV, AIFF and MP3 formats) can be loaded into the tabbed workspace along the top, where they can be topped and tailed, and faded in and out. Previous versions of Ozone have only come in plugin form, but Ozone 6 includes a standalone version with some nifty functionality of its own.
Modules also now deliver seamless (ie, click-free) bypassing, and feature Gain Stage Metering on the Module tabs themselves, making all gain changes visible at a glance. There are four new EQ modes - Baxandall and Resonant Shelves, Proportional Q and Band Shelf Bells - amounting to an awesome selection of filter shapes.
On the processing front, Ozone 5's Reverb has been axed, but there's a new addition in the shape of Dynamic EQ (Advanced only), so Ozone's seven modules now consist of Exciter, Dynamics, Dynamic EQ, Imager, Equalizer, Post Equalizer and Maximiser.Įach module can be used only once, but the two EQs, although named differently, are functionally identical, enabling comprehensive 8-band frequency- shaping at two points in the processing chain.
