This comes in very handy when you either don’t have the time or don’t understand where to split your different frequency bands. This allows Ozone to detect where to split your frequencies in multi-band mode. The first learn mode applies to splitting up different frequency bands for using ‘multi-band mode’ with the Exciter, Dynamics, and Stereo Imaging effects.

Though this is not new to the mastering plug-in, Ozone 5 also has two different learn modes. To help you in learning, iZotope has written several training manuals that are free for anyone interested.

The presets will never replace a trained audio ear (iZotope will tell you that), so you will need to learn the basics behind mastering to use this program to its fullest potential. Once you select a preset that sounds good for your film or music score, you are then able to learn how iZotope made their preset by clicking through each mastering effect that is being used. Ozone’s Meter Bridge lets you see what you are hearing.Īs always, Ozone is packed with presets, making this mastering suite very easy to use both for those new to mastering as well as those in a time crunch. Not only has iZotope rewritten several of Ozone’s audio algorithms (making it sound even more realistic than ever), they have now rolled out two versions of this mastering suite: Ozone 5 and Ozone 5 Advanced (to read my review of Ozone 4, click here). Ten years after Ozone first came on the scene, this innovative audio company has now released Ozone’s biggest update ever-Ozone 5.

First released in October of 2001, Ozone has been one of iZotope’s landmark audio plug-ins. Though many video people are just starting to hear of this innovative company, iZotope has been making professional, affordable audio plug-ins for years. IZotope’s classic mastering suite is now better than ever.
