Izotope OZONE 9 Master Test

isotope just released ozone 9 have been using ozone 8 the previous version for a while now and I even use it to master my latest Spotify release now if you make music mastering your song is important and traditionally you have to find mastering engineers to get the job done but plugins like ozone 9 promise that you can master your song yourself with just a few clicks so does ozone I deliver let's find out today I'll show you how I use ozone to master my song undone which you can listen to on Spotify or iTunes click the link in the description to listen to the finished product I'll demo the before and after and we'll also explore some of the new features in ozone 9 now it comes in three different price tiers with different levels of features so I want to help you decide which one is right for you if you have any questions leave them in the comments below first and foremost like I said ozone promises to master your song in just a few clicks but is it really that quick when I use it now I previously use ozone 8 which has similar features in my recent release on Spotify iZotope says it uses machine learning so let's listen to the results first here's my song mastered with ozone elements that's the cheapest version at $99 and includes the automatic mastering tool called master assistant all I did was load the plug-in on my master track and click a couple buttons and ozone did the rest [Music] she's just grown [Music] there wasn't part of the plan symptoms I'm experiencing popping pills won't relieve me can't take the physical alright overall the volume is much higher but it's transparent it didn't change the sound of the song that's a good thing I did notice in some other songs that it accentuated the hi-hats in the drumbeat and some lead instruments a bit too much for my taste so I had to correct those by lowering the volume of those tracks okay let's try it again with ozone 9 this time I'm using the advanced version which is more expensive but the audible results should be the same you'll notice you get a vintage option that's included with the standard and advanced versions so I'm not going to include those [Music] you'll notice that ozone automatically eq's and adds a Maximizer to the chain this is great master assistant is super fast and I've used it on countless tracks and it comes with all versions of ozone it does what it's supposed to do now I compared zone to a couple other mastering plugins - if you want to check out that video click up here I found that ozone have the most balanced and transparent results but listen for yourself by the way if you're finding this video useful hit the like button and don't forget to subscribe now ozone comes in three versions at three different price points now if you're looking for something that just does a good job with mastering and does it quickly like I just demonstrated the elements version will be fine for you but but ozone 9 standard adds a really really cool feature match EQ which I find really valuable I can add a track into my session and use that as a reference I can even select which bands in the EQ I wanted to match let's try it on a different track and check out the results now this track doesn't have vocals so I pulled a commercial song from itunes to test it out here's my song without ozone 9 match EQ [Music] now let's listen to the reference track the commercial song from Spotify now ozone listens to that song against mine and matches the EQ levels let's listen to the changes it made to my song [Music] that's a huge difference I think it did a really good job when I mastered my song undone that's on Spotify now I actually used fabfilter pro-q which has match EQ as well but I had to buy that separately with ozone 9 standard you get that feature included nice now in the ozone advanced version they add this thing called master rebalance which is pretty cool you can balance the general elements in your song vocals bass drums this is really useful let's test it out on my song undone popping pills whoa me can't take the physical soul she's overtaken me I couldn't believe on the heels of insanity [Music] by the way if you want to see every plug-in instrument I use in that song check out my full breakdown of that track right here I feature a few must-have plugins and some free ones ozone advanced also adds low and focus which give some punch to the base so that it's clear in the mix let's take a listen [Music] I'm experiencing popping pills won't believe me they've added the vintage mode in the master assistant which uses the vintage compressor and other vintage II stuff ticklish can no there wasn't part of the plan symptoms I'm experiencing [Music] so which one is right for you well if you just want a quick mastering solution with just a few clicks I really love the results I get with the lowest priced version elements and that might be right for you it gets the job done every time and I just had to tweak a few simple things now if you like the vintage mode and match EQ you'll want the standard version that's the version that I would choose myself the advanced version adds the low-end focus and master of rebalance features which are great and it allows you to run any of those features as separate plugins on any other track but yeah there's the added cost depending on your level of experience you should choose accordingly but don't forget you can always upgrade later if this video helped you figure out if ozone is right for you hit the like button and don't forget to subscribe if you haven't more plugin videos are coming and i'm gonna share my plugin chain for the vocals in my song undone so stay tuned make the music you love and check out one of these videos next [Music]
