Ozone 4 a very well-designed, good looking plugin. It is very intuitive to navigate between functions, and the presets it comes with sound great as well.
SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE
My system includes:
- Mac Pro 8-core (2 x 3.0 gHz Quad-core Intel Xeon)
- OS 10.6.7 OSX, 2.6 Tb of hard drive space, and 10 Gb of RAM
- Apple Logic Pro 9.1.3
- Mbox 2 Pro
This configuration is very stable and reliable, and everything works properly. I've been running this setup for almost 3 years.
iZotope uses a lot of CPU, so if you have a less powerful setup, I would be careful running more than one, especially on a huge session.
OVERALL OPINION
iZotope, a small company based in Cambridge MA, is an obvious leader in the music production industry. They produce very high-quality plugins and effects.
Ozone 4 is a very flexible plugin, and you can use it to effect/master anywhere from an individual track, to the entire 2-mix. Because of its powerful versatility, it can also be a very tricky plugin to get a handle on.
You need a well-trained ear and a certain level of production expertise to get the exact sound you want from Ozone. It is easy to get carried away and end up with undesirable artifacts such as harmonic distortion, aliasing, mud, etc. That said, it can make a great learning tool, because it is very easy to single out each function and see how it effects the sound.
