What’s New in Ozone 12?

NEW: Stem EQ (Advanced only)

Thin vocals? Overpowered drums? Impossible to fix without the mix file, right? Not anymore. Unlock unprecedented control over your master with Stem EQ. Avoid tedious mix edits by separately EQing the vocals, bass, drums, and instruments in your stereo bounce. With an easy, feels-like-magic flow, this is all you need to have the final say over your final balance.

NEW: Bass Control (Standard & Advanced)

Lock in your low end in any listening environment. Whether you’re fixing a weak mix, tightening a kick, or adding subtle weight, easily shape low end energy while enhancing balance, control, and punch with Bass Control. No more guesswork. Make sure your masters hit hard in the car, the club, and the charts.

NEW: Unlimiter (Advanced only)

Your new “undo” button for overly compressed audio, using cutting-edge machine learning to bring back lost transients and revive tracks transparently. Just set the threshold (or click Learn) and turn up the missing peaks to restore punch and open up tracks for easier,
cleaner mastering.

NEW: Custom Master Assistant flow (Elements, Standard & Advanced)

Call the shots with the new ‘Custom’ Master Assistant flow. Looking for full transparency? A more aggressive edge? Pick from dozens of genre targets, toggle modules, and set loudness levels to create a module chain that’s truly yours. Save time and finalize your track with confidence – all without ever losing creative control.

NEW: IRC 5 limiting algorithm

Push your masters harder than ever without the usual tradeoffs. Achieve outstanding loudness and stunning clarity with the new IRC 5 limiting mode – the most advanced algorithm yet for Ozone’s fan-favorite Maximizer. Easily craft clean, open masters, even at high LUFS. No pumping. No distortion. Just pure pro polish.

And more…

Split stems with new levels of precision and fewer artifacts thanks to new neural nets in Stem Focus. Sculpt a balanced sound across a broader range with 25 new genre targets for Stabilizer. And master in style with a fresh interface, featuring a new design and color palette that invite you to step in and take control.

The Story of Ozone

Mastering made for everyone

In the early 2000s, home-recording musicians and engineers wanted their tracks to sound like the radio but weren’t sure how to get there – many didn’t even know what mastering was. iZotope’s founders, feeling this need too, set out to create an accessible tool to give recordings that finished sound. And just like that, Ozone was born, evolving over the years into the backbone of countless masters – from bedrooms to Billboard.

AI tech that guides, not decides

In 2017, Ozone’s AI-powered Master Assistant sparked the shift to faster, smarter, more accessible mastering. Using the analysis of thousands of professional tracks, Master Assistant was the first to create custom presets that match target sounds in seconds. And Master Assistant is just that, a creative co-pilot for engineers of all levels, saving precious time, supporting creativity, and taking the mystery out of mastering.

The cutting-edge of mastering tech

Doing the impossible is an Ozone tradition. Best-in-class neural nets let you unlock previously unreachable parts of your audio, solve previously unsolvable problems, and discover uncharted levels of control and creativity. If you’re tired of the tedious and craving the creative, Ozone is the answer.
