Ozone 4 Opinions

[drummer9]

Thinking of getting full version. Looking for opinions from any users.

Thanks.

Love it! :)

My go-to for sweetening and mastering. Worth every penny.

IMHO it's a great starting point for mastering. If you consider you get a linear phase EQ, mid side capabilities etc then it's a no brainer. A single plugin from another manufacturer capable of any one of the Ozone processes would probably cost roughly the same. Additionally, the mastering with Ozone guide is an invaluable read.

If you decide that mastering is something you want to get in to seriously down the line then you will likely outgrow it. These days i find i get much better results with a compressor, EQ & Limiter from varying companies but i recommend cutting your teeth on Ozone.

Like it for it's flexibility because of it's modular design, I use it alone (to quickly get a feeling for what a track might sound like commercial levels, and for getting demo's done) or with other plug-ins that may add a little more character than Ozone 4 does. I have a number of Izotope plug-ins, can't begin to count how many tracks I've used Nectar on since it's release.


You can test out the full version free for 10 days, therefore it's easy to make your mind up.

I agree.

Quite flexible, and for the price, it's hard to beat as an all in one tool.

Nectar is absolute magic, though! So much style for one plugin, and it really is as sweet as the name implies.

I love it. Great for making a quick faux mastered track then slapping it on the web or burning to a CD for someone.

You can of course use it in a real mixing situation as well. I like using it as an instant "Make Better" plugin

Worth every penny, go buy it.
