What's new in Ozone 12?

• Lock in your low end, reshape your balance, and revive crushed mixes
  Discover 3 brand-new plugins to perfect your sound. Give your lows the power and control to translate with Bass Control. Fine-tune your vocals, bass, drums, and more – without the mix – in Stem EQ. And "undo" overly compressed audio with the groundbreaking Unlimiter.

• Save time with AI-powered flows that keep you in the driver's seat
  Experience more creative control in Master Assistant than ever before with the new Custom flow. Pick from dozens of genre profiles, upload your own references, set a LUFS target, toggle which modules to use, define processing strength, and tons more.

• Achieve louder, cleaner masters without the typical tradeoffs
  Push your masters even harder with the IRC 5 limiting mode – the most advanced algorithm yet in Ozone's fan-favorite Maximizer. Shape impactful masters with stunning clarity, even at high LUFS. No pumping. No distortion. Just pure professional polish.

Mastering made for everyone
In the early 2000s, home-recording musicians and engineers wanted their tracks to sound like the radio but weren't sure how to get there – many didn't even know what mastering was. iZotope's founders, feeling this need too, set out to create an accessible tool to give recordings that finished sound. And just like that, Ozone was born, evolving over the years into the backbone of countless masters worldwide.

AI tech that guides, not decides
In 2017, Ozone's AI-powered Master Assistant sparked the shift to faster, smarter, more accessible mastering. Using the analysis of thousands of professional tracks, Master Assistant was the first to create custom presets that match target sounds in seconds. And Master Assistant is just that, a creative co-pilot for engineers of all levels, saving precious time, supporting creativity, and taking the pain out of mastering.

The cutting-edge of mastering tech
Doing the impossible is an Ozone tradition. Best-in-class neural nets let you unlock previously unreachable parts of your audio, solve previously unsolvable problems, and discover uncharted levels of control and creativity. If you're tired of the tedious and craving the creative, Ozone is the answer.
