Izotope Ozone mastering plugin

[lepersmeesa]

Well im in the market for a mastering plugin and I was recommended this one. Was wondering what people thought about it and whether they had tried it out. Is there any other mastering plugins i should look at?

There is a free demo and I just tried it out. I think its pretty good. I did a quick comparison and I think it has made a huge difference. I only had a quick play with it.

Tell me what you think

Cheers!

It has a nice dither, that's about it though IMO.

I used to use this plug on everything a few years ago. Now, since I have waves, I forgot about it. I used to slide the balance over on the eq deal and get a bitchin, wide ass stereo. You can make a wide stereo out of the mid range and keep the low end mono. Pretty cool. Definately worth checking out, if you've never used it.

For the price I think it's pretty cool. I use it along with some Waves plugs for mastering. Since I'm a noob, I like the "all in one" idea of Ozone, and it's easier to wrap my head around this rather than a bunch of stand alone units that are a little more feature robust individually.

I think it sounds very bad. (the plugin, not your music). Voxengo some great mastering plugins however.

+1, the only thing I like it for is it's dither.

I've used Ozone before. I remember that it had either an "analog" or "digital" EQ selection. I can't remember which exactly, but one of them was absolutely horrendous...easily the worst EQ I've used in a long time. Even the slightest of boost with the widest Q would introduce this horrible phasing nasal quality. The other EQ was average, not nearly as bad.
