Sound: Unbelievable sound quality for the price and for the range of improvements it can make in your final mix. The individual components are really useful and sound great on their own, too...for example, the Mastering Reverb is way better than all the cheesy reverbs in Logic Express. Feature: Kind of overwhelming at first, but the presets help you understand the features and how they interact. Ease of Use: You can start from the dozens of presets and get a good-sounding master in about 5 minutes. Quality: Stable, responsive, reasonable CPU usage Value: $200 for this kind of sound is ridiculously cheap. Overall: If you have any interest in making decent-sounding demos or home studio tracks, as I do, then it's pretty indispensable. Dunno what I did without it...

Sound: as far as i know ozone works great. I produce trippy electronic minimal house jams in ableton live 8 and ozone definitely puts on the finishing touch. Im still learning the entire program but even as a beginner i am able to achieve the specific sound i am looking for. Sound quality is superb. I have not used many other mastering plug ins so im not sure how to compare it to other software but ozone is the bees knees hands down. very clean and clear sound. very professional. Feature: the graphic equalizer if for sure the most handy. there are also a lot of presets which help significantly in learning the program yourself. There are a lot of very specific controls for very specific frequencies so you can get pretty intensive in the mastering stage of production. Ease of Use: even some of the presets sound dank. its very easy to modify once you learn the program and very easy to use with other products, such as ableton or cubase. The manual is clear and informative it is just learning your personal feel for mastering and your personal taste in the sound you are trying to achieve. but ozone makes that pretty easy, there is only a small learning curve i would say to begin with. Quality: quality is outstanding. no crashes, no bugs, no messed up anything. works perfect every time. very reliable product. Value: ozone is absolutely worth the price Manufacturer Support: The company has a website with contact info which is very helpful. especially the customer service hot line. easy to reach and very friendly. The Wow Factor: looks really cool and professional. the layout of the program is very electronic and tripsy. Overall: as long as i am a poor musician i will continue to use ozone for all my mastering purposes.

SPOTLIGHT REVIEW
VERIFIED BUYER
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Sound: Very clean, and version 3+ has more algorithm choices, if you don't want it to be quite as clean. The MBIT+ dither used in Ozone beats any other dither when it comes to headroom, sound, and shaping. Feature: It's an all-in-one. Normally, all-in-ones tend to skimp on each of the modules, so they can get everything to "fit" in one plugin, but Ozone works well, through and through. You have complete control. Quality: 64-bit processing is higher than just about anything out there, and the additional bits really make a difference for processing. With the great-sounding MBIT+ dither, you don't have to worry at all about the conversion process back to 16-bit. Value: Amazing value for $200. There are single plugins that cost more and don't do as much as Ozone (and certainly don't do it as well).

Sound: Hey Kids, I love this software..It really makes a difference even when just using the presets. I am slowly learning how to use it properly. Many of the presets seem to be a little too bright so I reccomend tweaking it a bit. I will never go to mix without it now!! I'm spoiled! Feature: Many useful features...there is a learning curve though.. Manufacturer Support: I did email them a question...they got back to me within 1 day.

Sound: For the money, I have not heard better. Feature: Reverb, multiband exciter, multiband spacial processor, multiband dynamics, pre and post 8 band eq, maximizing limiter with heaps of options, mid and side band processing... there's more but I'm out of breath. More importantly it is all very usable and sounds great. Ease of Use: I love the interface... use simple presets or dig into the interface and tweak till your hearts content. Quality: Make my other plugins seem cheap even though they are not. Value: Best I've come across. Manufacturer Support: Have not used it. The Wow Factor: I like quality and this product has it in spades. Overall: I just wish my other software had the same amount of time spent 'getting it right'. I buy it again if I lost it.

Back to Product Information
Sound: I used this application for every song. Any mix will become better once you throw this plug-in on it. Even after I completely finish mixing a track and think it sounds the best it could, I'm proven wrong with this. Any thing you can imagine is achieveable with Ozone. Feature: The presets that come with it are great and work well with just a few tweaks with just about anything. There's also tons of presets to download from the website. Ease of Use: I don't get whats so hard to figure out about this program. Once I installed it, I just opened up either Cubase or Fl Studio and it was available as one of the vst plug-ins. You only get out of it what you put in also. If you don't know how to really work a compressor or read a frequency spectrum then you're wasting your time buying this product. Learn to work a lower end multiband compressor, limiter or equalizer before paying for this. Quality: I can't really imagine something thats all that much better of a mastering plugin. Great buy. Value: $200 is alot for a plugin, but its worth it. Manufacturer Support: Never needed them.

Back to Product Information
Sound: Sound quality is excellent. Of course, it does not quite compare to classic hardware by Neve, Avalon, etc..., but for the price it comes unbelievably close. Feature: Outstanding features and control over most aspects of processing and sound. Each component can function well on it's own (bypassing the others) so it's like getting a number of plug-ins for the price of one. And, they all sound great solo! Ease of Use: Extremely easy to use. The presets are good and help to get results quickly. I like to start with a preset that sounds good and then tweak it to make it sound great. Quality: Outstanding for the price. As I mentioned, it does not quite compare to classic gear costing thousands, but it still sounds great. Value: Incredible value. Perhaps the best music processing software value on the market today. Manufacturer Support: Never had to contact company. Software has worked flawlessly. The Wow Factor: Looks good. Wish you could resize the window. Overall: Awesome product!

Sound: Im giving this an 8 because its not going to give you as quality of a master as a studio by any means. For what it is it gets a 10. Feature: Works with VST and AU what else you need? The master reverb section is hella cool. You can single out low and high frequencies to be effected. EQ and everything is great TOP NOTCH Ease of Use: Easy as pie to use. Morons could get big improvements in minutes. Quality: Never had a problem. For what it is it cant be beat. Value: I would give this an 11 if I could! Manufacturer Support: iZotope is a great company, and Ive needed no support but have heard good things. The Wow Factor: It def looks cool with the graphic eq and interface. People ask me "what does that do?" all the time. Overall: For a mastering pug this is top notch. Again its not as quality as getting your track professionally mastered, but the cost does not even compare whatsoever.

Back to Product Information
Sound: Sound potential very good Feature: Seems to have excellent festures but they're nearly unusable by anyone except doctoral audio engineers Ease of Use: The user interface is AWFUL. User "manual" is worse. Try interpreting 5,000 year old Mesopotamian cuneiform fragments spread over 1000 years and 1000 miles and you'll get the idea. There isn't even an 'all clear' or 'resort to default' command ANYWHERE except in one tiny area, and once the user tries something they're stuck with it every time they open Ozone 3, no matter what else is tried. Quality: This I leave blank because there's no way to know, the interface and instructions are so terrible, and lacking in self- or cross-reference Manufacturer Support: Time will tell. Past experiences were interesting in that they acknowledged the worst failings of their interface and user manual very quickly. The Wow Factor: Looks great visually. Ratings mean nothing however Overall: Bills itself as user friendly. It is anything but. Pretty but almost useless graphics to anyone but a quantum physicist, and even a doctoral audio engineer would have trouble with the arbitrariness and lack of explanation of it.
