iZotope releases the Ozone 12

Ozone 12 goes beyond the limits of mastering. Revive overly compressed mixes, EQ individual stems, and let the bass hit hard, anywhere.

iZotope has announced the release of Ozone 12, a powerful evolution of its celebrated mastering suite. Designed to give musicians and producers a new level of control over their final masters, Ozone 12 introduces three new modules, an update to its AI-powered assistant that gives artists more creative input, and a stunning new IRC limiting algorithm for its trusted Maximizer.

Ozone 12 comes in three editions: Elements, Standard, and Advanced, with Advanced including 21 individual plugins. All editions include the AI-powered Master Assistant with intelligent tech that guides, not decides. iZotope designs with AI to assist and inspire artists, unlocking the impossible without compromising on creative control.

Key Features:Stem EQ: Apply EQ to vocals, drums, bass, and instruments separately within a stereo audio file, eliminating the need for tedious mix edits.
Bass Control: A machine-learing powered module that refines low-end frequencies, ensuring masters hit hard in any listening environment.
Unlimiter: Revive overly compressed audio, restoring lost transients and dynamics with the power of machine-learning.
Custom Master Assistant Flow: The AI-powered Master Assistant now offers a custom flow, allowing for specific module choices, LUFS targets, and dozens of genre modifiers to create a unique mastering chain.
IRC 5 Maximizer Mode: The fan-favorite Maximizer now includes the IRC 5 limiting algorithm, which delivers outstanding loudness and clarity without the usual tradeoffs like pumping or distortion.

Ozone 12 introduces new ways to master faster and smarter than ever before, and offers uncharted levels of control and creativity. Building on two decades of award-winning innovation, iZotope is again establishing industry-first capabilities and new must-haves for modern mastering.

What the Pros are saying:

· "If you want masters that are both louder and more dynamic, while also reaching into the tone, dynamics, and individual instruments within the mix, Ozone 12 is the future of mastering." Will Borza, Mastering Engineer (Deftones, The Black Keys, The Lumineers, My Chemical Romance)

· “The Mastering Assistant isn't just a tool for novices... for me it's an incredibly useful way to gain a fresh perspective after a full day of mixing. The new flow customizations make it faster and easier to experiment with exactly the approach I'm after.” Joe Visciano, Mix Engineer (Vince Staples, Summer Walker, Earl Sweatshirt, Omar Apollo)

· "Ozone 12 pushes the boundaries of what you think is possible! It’s taking full advantage of the digital domain and doing things that you can’t do in the analog world. The new modules are jaw dropping!" John Nathaniel, Producer/Mixer/Composer (OneRepublic, Shawn Mendes, Akon)
