In Ozone 9, we focused heavily on delivering experiences that no one has ever seen to the world of mixing and mastering, while enhancing the innovations that version 8 introduced two years ago,” said iZotope Product Manager Dan Gonzalez in a press release. It can also create loudness for CDs or streaming, depending on the type of master. The Master Assistant now comes with vintage mode, which provides automatic adjustments for Vintage EQ, Vintage Limiter. Improved Tonal Balance Control allows tracks to be adjusted based on thousands of professionals and can open up other iZotope plugins without going to them directly.

This is done to eliminate some of the painstaking processes that must be done to fix low-ends. Low End Focus gives clarity to bass sounds, either boosting them or lowering some of the more overpowering levels. One can eliminate the low end of a muddy bass guitar or add vocals without changing the midrange.

Master Rebalance gives Ozone 9 users the final say in a mix to help correct instrument levels without the original tracks. The mastering assistant is improved to help create the right sound for the right release, while it comes with “never-before seen” processing for the low end, new real-time instrument separation, and “lightning-fast” workflows powered by machine learning. The industry-leading mastering technology gets an update and some new features. You may still be mastering Ozone 8, but iZotope doesn’t care because yesterday they dropped Ozone 9 for the masses.
