iZotope Ozone Advanced

Computers can greatly enhance the sound producing capabilities of an audio studio. The knowledge and skills of professionals can be at your fingertips by employing the right sound editing application. iZotope Ozone Advanced is a complete audio mastering tool that provides an abundance of features and options to create tunes.

The installation process is quick and uneventful, but for expert users, there are some options to adapt the software to your needs. You can install a simple VST plug-in or use the standalone version. This feature enables you to work with the software you already own or just migrate to the complete version.

Moreover, the standalone version supports third-party plug-ins so that you can use this software as the primary tool.

The application offers a multi-tab environment where you can load multiple projects and work on them simultaneously. You can also load several modules, according to your immediate needs. You have several choices at your disposal: equalizer, vintage EQ, vintage, tape, exciter, vintage compressor, dynamics, dynamic EQ, imager, post-equalizer, vintage limiter, and maximizer.

Unfortunately, this is where limitations occur. You can load only six modules concurrently. This is also a blessing and a curse since you are limited in the options you have while you try to minimize the impact on your computer's performance. The software puts a strain on the processing capabilities, making this limitation the lesser of two evils.

The application offers a well organized GUI to maximize your efficiency. The buttons and sliders are responsive and have plenty of space between them to avoid accidental clicking.

Regardless of your knowledge level, you can use this software with ease. It provides an ample help document with tips and tricks for you to try out.

In conclusion, this sound mastering application is a complete tool for music creators. It offers a wide array of instruments and features to make its way into professional studios.
