Exciter can add "richness" and "warmth" with the best of today's digital emulations. Not since FLUX Solera (Tape Op #63) have I seen this level of configurability. Adjusting threshold, knee, and even compression mix (think wet/dry), I was able to turn down the kick without a hint that there was a compressor in the chain. In tests, I found myself using just one band to address a trouble spot, for example, kick drum. Dynamics is a multi-band compressor that is all about utility. With respect to the individual titles, here is the run down.
If you're someone who likes to get under the hood and tweak values, here is your paradise! That said, you might be overwhelmed by the features it seems as if iZotope's development team had a list of every possible EQ orĬompression feature and made sure it was available as a configurable control. If you have to work in this application all day, you will not suffer a headache from the graphics. The minimalistic green and red over a black background is non-fatiguing and lets you find anything quickly. But given my space limitations, the amount of information available on the iZotope website, and the fact that almost every recording magazine out there has devoted many pages to this title, I'll distill this into a shorthand discussion we would have if we met at the hotel bar during the AES convention.įrom an aesthetic standpoint, Ozone has always been the first application to say, "We're on a PC, and dog-gone it, we're not ashamed." The interface looks like a combination of Star Trek meets military command center, and I mean that in a double thumbs up way. Any single title offers enough functionality to warrant an individual review. Ozone 5 Advanced is the latest version of iZotope's software mastering suite, comprised of six programs: Dynamics, Equalizer, Exciter, Imager, Maximizer, and Reverb.
