Our friends iZotope have been very busy. Not long ago we had the release of RX5 and the RX Production Suite and now we have Ozone 7. 

Ozone 7 is a set of mastering tools designed for both professionals and aspiring music producers to easily add a final level of polish to their mixes and audio recordings. 

The Ozone family of products includes both Ozone 7 and Ozone 7 Advanced, which includes additional features for gluing together a mix. Ozone 7 Advanced users can take advantage of four brand-new vintage-inspired modules, designed to add deep, rich analog character to digital recordings. Additionally, the new Codec Preview feature lets Advanced users audition the effect of industry-standard codecs on their master, making it easier to make necessary adjustments before exporting for digital distribution. iZotope Product Manager Izzy Maxwell told us..

Ozone 7 builds on iZotope's reputation for superior sound quality and mastering tools. We've added new processing capabilities that honor all the aspects of vintage hardware that people love-warmth, saturation, character, richness-and reimagines them for the modern digital music production realm.

Ozone 7 Key Features:

• Vintage Limiter: Glue a mix together, control dynamic range, and add character
• Vintage Tape [Advanced only]: Add the distinctive sonic characteristics of analog tape to modern digital recordings
• Vintage Compressor [Advanced only]: Add subtle warming and sweetening effects with a single-band, program-dependent vintage compressor
• Vintage EQ [Advanced only]: Add the richness, warmth, and color of analog equalization to digital audio
• Maximizer with new IRC IV mode: Increase perceived loudness without pumping or distortion with the mode's innovative new spectral shaping technology
• Dynamic EQ: Now included in both versions of Ozone with improved features and optimized performance
• A comprehensive bank of presets: Includes Signature Mastering Presets from Greg Calbi, the notable mastering engineer whose career spans from John Lennon to Bruce Springsteen to Lady Gaga and Tony Bennett
• New export options: Encode mastered audio to MP3 and AAC formats

Ozone 7 runs as a standalone application, or as a plug-in in your audio editing software. Ozone 7 Advanced includes ten additional component plug-ins for direct access to individual Ozone modules in your host like Pro Tools.

Ozone 7 Advanced is also available as part of iZotope's Music Production Bundle with Insight, Alloy 2, Nectar 2 Production Suite, and Trash 2 (plus two Trash  Expansions).
