iZotope has released Ozone 10 - the latest version of their flagship mastering suite which they say brings increased intelligence designed to make the mastering process easier and faster. Our first look review is coming soon, in the meantime let’s take a look at what’s new according to the iZotope site…

What’s New In Ozone 10?

Stabilizer Module – sculpt a balanced sound with this new intelligent and adaptive mastering EQ: dynamically shape a mix into a clear, natural tone, or tame problem resonance, carve away harshness, and smooth transients for better translation across listening environments (Ozone 10 Advanced only)

Impact Module – enhance the rhythm and feel of tracks with this new module by intuitively controlling microdynamics: four sliders work across different frequency bands to breathe life into a mix, adding punch and dynamic space, or gluing your track together for a thicker sound (Ozone 10 Advanced only)

Improved Master Assistant – match the sound of trusted reference files or today’s hit songs with groundbreaking new matching technology for tone, dynamics, and width. An updated Assistant View makes it faster than ever to customize your starting point, while the Tonal Balance curve allows for easy metering (included in Standard and Advanced)

Magnify Soft Clip – boost loudness while maintaining high fidelity audio with this new setting in the Maximizer module (included in Standard and Advanced)

Recover Sides – reduce width without losing the sides with this new feature in the Imager module, which maintains stereo information in mono and helps preserve depth and power when narrowing a problem frequency (included in Standard and Advanced)

And more, including native Apple silicon support, improved gain match mode, improved metering with Tonal Balance target curve, and a refreshed look and feel of the Ozone interface.

Surprisingly, Ozone 10 can no longer be used as a standalone application, and is now only available as AAX, AU and VST3 plugin formats.
