iZotope Releases Ozone 6: Creative Mastering Platform
Ozone 6 features a redesigned interface, standalone application, and new Dynamic EQ module
Cambridge, MA (October 30, 2014) - iZotope, Inc., a leading audio technology company, has launched the latest version of its critically acclaimed line of mastering software, Ozone.
Ozone 6 is a creative mastering platform that enables both project studio producers and mastering engineers to easily add a final level of professional polish to their mix.
The modern new workflow is centered around creativity. A fully redesigned interface and real-time visual feedback in every module assist users in creating masters with ease.
"Our goal was to create an elegant visual aesthetic and fluid workflow," says iZotope Product Manager Brett Bunting, "in order to bring the creative elements of mastering front and center and allow users to define their own sound."
Ozone 6 takes the guesswork and the manual labor out of the mastering process, helping users experiment without fear of making the wrong sonic choices. Using Ozone's presets as a starting point, pros and newcomers alike can immediately achieve authentic sounds in any genre.
Ozone also produces great sound, providing the warmth and character of analog sound without the restrictions of hardware. And since Ozone 6 works as either a standalone application or a suite of plug-ins, users can choose to work exclusively in Ozone, or to complement their audio editor of choice.
For professional users, the Advanced version's Dynamic EQ module lives and breathes with your music, harnessing the precision of an equalizer and the musical ballistics of a compressor. It's an ideal tool for transparently sculpting audio.
"Ozone is full of great mastering tools," says Adam Ayan, GRAMMY-winning mastering engineer at Gateway Mastering, "and it just keeps getting better!"
