Review - iZotope Ozone 8 New Master Assistant

Показать описание

In this Pro Tools Expert review video, we take a look at Ozone 8 by iZotope, claimed to be the smartest version of Ozone yet. We test a handful of new features including the new Master Assitant which isn't too dissimilar to the Track Assistant we first saw in iZotope Neutron 1. The Master Assistant listens to a mix and provides users with mastering starting points with setting suggestions for:

EQ
Dynamics
Dynamic EQ
Limiting

This new Master Assitant feature works very well indeed. What we like about it is that it doesn't suggest any "creative" mastering decisions such as Tape Saturation or Stereo Widening, this focuses solely on providing users with an editable starting point or foundation from which to master from.

iZotope Ozone 8 features a wealth of powerful mastering modules, meters and features that can get your masters shimmering in no time.

A new addition to both Ozone 8 and Neutron 2 is a separate plug-in called Tonal Balance Control which is a visual analysis tool that communicates with all instances of Ozone and Neutron. Tonal Balance Control is a cool visual plug-in that helps users to shape the tone of mixes and masters. In the coming weeks, we will review Neutron 2 and Tonal Balance Control.

i like dynamic eq suggestions, eq sometimes good too but sometimes too bright.

Great if brief overview, Dan. I EMPHATICALLY agree that iZotope really should be allowing us to use more than 6 processes / plugins at once (scroll arrow heads at either end would be enough of a UI addition to accommodate this). I leave Win10 to scale the UI for me rather than turning that off, it looks a little ugly but I cannot abide leaving Ozone at its standard size on a 1080p monitor. That iZotope have still not upgraded the UI to something vector-based therefore making it scalable is frustrating. I get crashes with U-He Satin / Presswerk also, irritating! Despite this, I still enjoy working in Ozone 8 and get excellent results with it.
