Ozone 3 Complete 64-bit Mastering System

www.bhphotovideo.com
A 64-bit mastering plug-in that offers seven processing stages essential for creating commercial
sounding masters. The seven modules include: Paragraphic Equalizer, Mastering Reverb,
Multiband Dynamics, Multiband Harmonic Exciter, Multiband Stereo Imaging, Loudness
Maximizer, and Dithering. Each processing stage offers fully automatable parameters and a
wide range of audio and visual feedback. Analog modeling algorithms ensure a smooth and
musical sound, such as the soft limiting associated with vintage tube processors. Additionally,
linear phase equalization and filters are provided for times when surgical precision is required.
Because all processing is performed at 64-bit precision, a level of accuracy is achieved that
would be unobtainable by chaining together individual plug-ins. Ozone 3 ships with a wide
array of professionally designed presets for many mastering situations. Izotope’s acclaimed
Ozone Mastering Guide is included to walk you step by step through making commercially ready masters.
Analog Modeling / Digital Precision
◆ In lieu of employing a separate plug-in for each mastering stage, all processors are combined in a
single unified plug-in. This integration offers an optimized interface, with a logical workflow and
superior sound quality that is unobtainable with a chain of independent plug-ins.
◆ Ozone offers the option of using analog
modeling alogrithms for its compression,
equalization, and harmonic excitation
sections. Analog processing has certain
nonlinear aspects that a mathematician would
consider “wrong” but sound better musically.
This includes such anomalies as the slight
phase delays found in an analog equalizer.
These anomalies are where many of the
analog characteristics of warmth, sparkle
and depth are found.
◆ Conversely, while analog modeling can
provide a pleasant character or “colorization”
to the sound, some situations require more
precise or transparent signal processing.
For those applications that require surgical
precision, without colorization, Ozone allows
you to choose digital, linear phase equalizers
and crossover filters. For example, you may
choose a linear phase EQ to equalize or notch
out a frequency without introducing the
phase delay inherent in analog filters.

Multiband Dynamics
Paragraphic Equalizer
◆
The Paragraphic Equalizer section offers the
choice of analog modeled and linear phase
EQ with up to 16,000 bands of precision. There
are 8 fully adjustable filters, using peaking,
high or low-pass, high or low shelf filters,
and a spectrum overlay for instant feedback.
Spectrum snapshots of recordings can be
utilized to create matched EQ curves.
◆ The Mastering Reverb section offers plate and
room reverb algorithms, a vectorscope and
phase correlation meter, options for mono,
phase flip and channel reverse, solo processed
signal as well as graphic control over cutoffs
room size, damping and width.
◆ The Loudness Maximizer section helps
maintain uniform levels with less distortion.
There is a character control for more, or less,
transparent limiting, and you can visualize
your changes with the level histogram and
gain reduction meter.
◆ The Multiband Harmonic Exciter offers up to
4 bands of harmonic excitation, switchable
between analog modeled or digital crossover
filters, with controls for amount, mix and delay
◆ The Multiband Dynamics sections offers 4
bands of limiting, compression and expansion,
with analog modeled and linear phase
crossover filters, gain reduction meters, level
histogram and spectrum analyzer for visual
feedback.
◆ Multiband Stereo Imaging with up to 4 bands
of stereo widening vectorscope and phase
correlation meter options for mono, phase flip
and channel reverse.
◆ The Dither section features proprietary
MBIT+ noise-shaped dither with a DC offset
filter, auto-blanking, peak limiting and
harmonic suppression. The bit meter and
DC offset meter offer visual feedback for
troubleshooting your mix.
