Ozone 8 to Ozone 9 patch transition? (..& Izotope plugins in general)
I'm currently going though the joys of shifting from PT10HD/Mavericks..to PTUltimate2020/Catalina & updating all my plugins.
I've used Ozone 8 (standard) pretty extensively over the last 5 years & It does still load & recall in OSX10.15 , but crashes if you use the assistant/analysis feature I just installed a trial of Ozone 9. It works well & has some nice new features……but….it won’t load up an Ozone 8 patch. I’m guessing this is the same for all Izotope stuff ? Neutron 2 to Neutron 3 , nectar to Nectar 3 etc ?? This does lead to something of a dilemma, as I’m not begrudging the upgrade fee, but it means that older mixes simply won’t recall, a pretty big issue if you’ve used (for instance) neutron as your main eq over multiple channels. Pro Tools sees the new versions, as essentially completely new plugins, with no relation to the older one. Any work arounds? Or is this just another thing to be wary of when moving forward… |

You simply leave your old installs which will recall the old versions of Izotope plugins and then do your best to replace them with similar settings or if things are working fine just roll with the old.

Projects with Ozone 8 are at least recalling, but make Pro Tools unstable, so are not a long term solution. ..& this is the problem...I should imagine in a couple of OS updates time Ozone 8 will not load at all. Compare this to (for instance) a stock AVID plugin, or even something like Sonnox inflator, or any of the excellent Stephen Massey range, where I can recall on old PT8 session & all the settings will load up just fine. |

Yeah, their plugins crash my sessions all the time. Really unstable stuff. Neutron 2 is the worst.

There is a workaround. You save the settings in Ozone 8 inside the plugin, not in the protools settings. Then you navigate to where that preset is lurking and move it into the same location in Ozone 9 and now you can open that old preset in Ozone 9. Google for more details if needed. I have done it once... Half a year ago. It works. :D
So, I checked... It is in Users/your name/documents/iZotope/Ozone 8/Presets/Global Presets then just move it or copy it to Users/your name/documents/iZotope/Ozone 9/Presets/Global Presets |

Like you said stock plugs-ins, Sonnox, and Massey always open and work like they always have for me.There is something nice about having tools that you know and trust that get the job done with out getting "improved" every year or two. |

I gave in & upgraded to V9 in the end, & this has been super helpful for session recall, as I was mid project when my Mac died & I made the jump to PT Ultimate from PT10HD I have to say the same preset doesn't sound 100% the same when loaded into Ozone 9 (nor does it phase-reverse null) but its pretty close.
