What’s New in Ozone 10?
Match top masters with improved Master Assistant
Effortlessly achieve the sound of chart-topping hits or your favorite reference file using groundbreaking matching technology for tone, dynamics, and width. An updated Assistant View makes it faster than ever to customize your starting point.
Stabilizer Module [Advanced]
Automatic clarity
Sculpt a balanced sound with the new Stabilizer Module, an intelligent and adaptive mastering EQ. Dynamically shape your mix into a clear, natural tone, or tame problem resonance, carve away harshness, and smooth transients for better translation across listening environments.
Impact Module [Advanced]
Add musical movement
Enhance the rhythm and feel of your tracks by intuitively controlling micro dynamics with the new Impact Module. Four sliders work across different frequency bands to breathe life into your mix, adding punch and dynamic space, or gluing your track together for a thicker sound.
Magnify Soft Clip (in Maximizer Module)
Zoom in
Boost loudness while maintaining high fidelity audio with the new Magnify Soft Clip. Bring your track forward using the soft clipper to amplify the Maximizer’s IRC algorithms used on countless hit records.
Recover Sides (in Imager Module)
Get more from mono
Reduce width, without losing the sides. The new Recover Sides feature maintains stereo information in mono so you can preserve depth and power when narrowing problem frequencies like a wide bass.
Improved UI look and feel
Ozone 10 has a new look designed to improve your mastering process. With the new Assistant View, you can jump right into your intelligent control center for fast, personalized results.
New: Hear the difference
New buttons have been added that activate Delta monitoring, allowing you to hear just the frequencies that are being cut or boosted. This lets you know precisely how you are adjusting your track in the new Stabilizer and Impact modules.
Improved performance
Ozone 10 is compatible with Apple silicon native (M1, M1 Pro, M1 Max) chips for faster processing.
Why Ozone 10?
AI-powered mastering
Ozone’s Master Assistant kicks things off right by suggesting a starting point that can easily be customized.
Groundbreaking matching capabilities
Match reference tracks and genre targets across tone, dynamics, and width.
Balance, right from the start
The Assistant View features a tonal balance curve so you can identify and fix balance issues.
