Assistant viewĪnother major new module is Impact, and it sounds similar to the Punch mode that was recently added to iZotope Neutron’s compressor module. There’s also a Tame Transients button that will shave off the aggressive front end of any hits, although it would have been more flexible if this was a slider rather than just ‘on’ or ‘off’. There are additional controls for the Amount, Speed, Smoothing and Sensitivity, plus separate amounts for the Low, Mid and High, which lets you hone in on processing different parts of the spectrum. It’s also a shame you can’t use both modes to smooth your spread and tame resonance at the same time, although you can add an extra instance of the individual plugin. It seems like a missed opportunity not to allow user import here though. In a nutshell, the Shape mode is like a slightly less transparent Soundtheory Gullfoss, and the Cut mode is similar to Oeksound Soothe 2, albeit with broader strokes.įor the spectral profile, you can choose from 10 genre presets, plus an All-Purpose preset. A Shape mode will gently massage your audio in real-time to smooth the spectral spread and bring it closer to a target curve, and you can use Cut mode to gently notch out unwanted resonances. This shares some similarities with Neutron’s Sculptor, but is fine-tuned for working on masters. Let’s cut to the chase and check out the new features.įirst, we have the Stabilizer module. The layout isn’t drastically different, but there are a few cute tweaks such as more curved edges, and several controls being replaced with graphical dials. Suffice to say, it’s a weighty package, with a broad array of EQs, dynamics processors, exciters, vintage modules and several clever DSP tools. Interestingly, iZotope has chosen not to include a standalone version for this release. You get the mothership plugin that can load all 17 modules, plus separate component plugins for each. Ozone 10 comes in Standard and Advanced versions. But if you want a refresher, you can read our reviews of Ozone 8 and Ozone 9. There’s plenty to get through so we’re focusing on the new details in this review.
