iZotope Ozone 9 Advanced Mastering Software

Available for download, iZotope Ozone 9 Advanced is software designed for mastering music, providing many modules for the task. The software builds upon the offerings of previous iterations with visual improvements, CPU optimizing, new modules, and new assistive options. The software allows you to create masters of your music in an intuitive, user-friendly manner.

Take the Master Rebalance Module, for instance. With tech borrowed from RX 7, this module intelligently grabs your bass, drums, or vocal parts and brings them up and down in level, depending on your settings. Now, you may not need to contact the mixing engineer when the bass part isn't loud enough—you can simply raise it up yourself.

Another new offering is the Low End Focus module, which uses proprietary processes to help you secure impact, translation, and a distinct absence of mud in the low end of your masters. Use this module to help the kick and bass play nicely together in a stereo track. 

You'll note that Match EQ has been broken out into its own module. It now sports more controls to help you get the most out of this process in every part of the frequency spectrum.

You'll find the Vintage mode in the Master Assistant useful, as it applies colorful strokes in the mastering process. Use the traditional Master Assistant to get you to the level you wish as transparently as possible, or choose the Vintage mode if the mix needs some more weight, vibe, or color. Then, tweak from there.

Included with Ozone 9 Advanced is an upgrade to the Tonal Balance Control plug-in. Tonal Balance Control 2 now comes with a far greater number of presets than the first version. It also lets you solo each individual band to home in on frequency issues.

As with the previous version, you'll find a reference section to load in your favorite referencing tracks. You'll also find dither options and be able to audition how the master sounds through various lossy codecs. 

Other tweaks have been made to existing modules under the hood, including performance enhancements, and, in the case of the Imager module, increased sonic transparency. You can now resize the GUI at will. This being the advanced version, you can break out any module you wish into its own plug-in, so if you only want to use the Master Rebalance function, you needn't load the whole suite.

The software is compatible with Mac and Windows platforms in AU, VST2, VST3, and AAX formats. It's now compatible with NKS supported environments as well.

New Features

Master Rebalance

Master Rebalance gives you the final say in a mix, letting you correct and change the levels of instruments without needing the original tracks. Give your vocals a small boost to add presence without affecting the midrange, or eliminate a muddy low end by slightly lowering the bass guitar. Correct weak-sounding drums, saving you from hours of EQ surgery. A well-balanced mix makes any mastering engineer's job easier. With Master Rebalance, you can nudge your sound in the right direction.

Low End Focus

Low End Focus is your first line of defense against a muddy or blurry low end in a mix. Using new processing designed to enhance bass sounds, this feature brings your low end into better focus and gives you a well-defined foundation for your track. Tame unruly or clashing kick drums and boomy bass guitars without changing the overall impact of your music, or get that extra bit of bass magic to put your track over the finish line. Go in-depth with surgical controls that let you shape your tone and timbre and bring out the best in your low end with no artifacts.

EQ Match

Ozone 9 brings the tone and vibe of your favorite artists to your music with the upgraded EQ Match. With this new module, you can conform to any reference track to a precise degree, with an EQ that uses over 8000 separate bands to give an accurate point of comparison. New region parameters now give you more control over the end result by letting you choose what parts of the audio to match. Capture a reference from a track in your session, or a reference file loaded into Ozone 9, and save your favorite results as presets for easy access.

Vintage Assistive Technology

The improved Master Assistant uses machine learning to give you a custom preset in seconds. Use the new Vintage mode to quickly add the right combination of color and character, with automatic adjustments for Vintage Compressor, EQ, Limiter, and more.

  • Add harmonic excitement to the vocals with Saturation.

iZotope RX 9 Standard Audio Restoration and Enhancement Software

Available for download, iZotope RX 9 Standard is the latest update to iZotope's audio repair software, which is considered a staple for recording, mastering, and audio-for-video postprocessing. The software can operate either as a standalone application or as a plug-in for both Mac- and Windows-based DAWs and NLEs. From fixing common audio problems like noises, distortions, and inconsistent recordings to repairing severely damaged audio using Spectral Repair, RX can transform previously unusable audio into something usable.

The standard edition of RX 9 features several new and updated modules and algorithms including Dynamic De-hum, Spectral Editor, Restore Selection, and an Expandable History List.

The dynamic mode in De-Hum instantly removes any amount of hum, interference, or wireless ring without artifacts or affecting the audio quality. In one pass, eliminate radio and transmitter interference, and camera and generator hum. In static mode, you can target hum with a fundamental hum frequency plus 16 harmonic bands above it, while dynamic mode allows you to learn and remove any amount of hum with up to 1024 dynamically variable notch filters.

For Logic users, the Spectral Editor allows you to clean up unwanted sounds directly within Logic without having to toggle between the RX Audio Editor and Logic Pro. It combines RX Spectral Repair, RX's spectrogram, and RX interactive tools that enable engineers and producers to identify and eliminate unwanted noises, from within Logic Pro.

Restore History allows you to roll back any audio selection to a previous step in your History list to get the best combination of audio processing form any point in time. This allows you to select a point in history for only the current selection. The History list has been expanded to 30 undo steps for quick reference.

Previous features are in place, including the Repair Assistant, multichannel support, high-quality resampling, dithering, and the Module Chain. In fact, the Module Chain now works hand in hand with an overhauled Batch Processor to make treating multiple files a painless, easy endeavor. As always, RX 8 can be used as a standalone audio editor (but connected to your host via RX Connect) or as your DAW's audio editor (such as in the case of Logic Pro), though much of it can be used as a suite of plug-ins.

New Modules and Features

De-Hum

Dynamic mode in De-hum instantly removes any amount of hum, wireless ring, or interference, without artifacts or affecting the audio quality. In one pass, eliminate radio and transmitter interference, camera and generator hum, and more.

 

In Static mode, you can target hum with a fundamental tone plus the 16 harmonic bands above it. In Dynamic mode, you can learn and remove any amount of hum with up to 1024 dynamically variable notch filters.

Restore Collection

Roll back an audio selection to any previous step in your History list to get the best combination of audio processing from any point in time with the brand-new Restore Selection feature.

 

When hovering your cursor over an item in the History list with a selection made in the spectrogram, an icon appears in line with the text. Clicking this icon will restore your selection to that point in history. This is the same as going back to that point in undo history, except only for your current selection.

Spectral Editor in Logic Pro

Spectral Editor allows Logic Pro users to put some of the most powerful iZotope processing and visualization to work without having to toggle between Logic and the RX Audio Editor. It combines RX Spectral Repair, RX's spectrogram, and RX interactive tools that enable engineers and producers to identify and eliminate unwanted noises—right in Logic.

General Features

Guitar De-Noise

Guitar De-noise lets you refine your guitar recordings for maximum clarity. Manage sounds unintentionally emphasized by the effects of compression or limiting like electrical amp noise and interference, distracting fret or string squeaks, and harsh pick attacks. With intuitive sliders for sensitivity and gain reduction, polishing guitar performances for intelligibility and authenticity is now relatively easy and transparent.

Loudness Control

Prepare your recordings for final delivery with the detailed level readings and loudness-management power of the Loudness Control module. Load preset loudness-standard targets to ensure your audio conforms to broadcast requirements, and monitor your levels using the built-in numeric and histogram readouts for integrated, short-term, and momentary loudness. Plus, resize the module to fit your display perfectly and suit your unique workflow.

32-Tab Limit for Audio Tabs

Time is precious when editing audio in post. To help you tackle more work faster, RX 8 doubles the previous 16-tab limit, now allowing you to view and edit up to 32 files within RX Audio Editor. Cover more ground in less time with greater efficiency and in-app real estate.

Horizontal Scrolling

Horizontal scrolling is now built into the intuitive Spectrogram Display. Use the scroll gesture on your trackpad or mouse with your cursor to scroll through your audio across the X-axis for lightning-fast edits.

Improved De-Hum

The De-hum module in RX 8 Elements uses an improved detection and reduction algorithm to automatically identify the base frequency of your unwanted hum and precisely remove it and its harmonics, ensuring a clean overall sound. For more complex hum and buzz removal, De-hum automatically recommends when to use De-noise instead, so you'll always have the best tool at hand for the job. Don't forget to use Adaptive mode to remove hum that changes in frequency over time.

Improved Batch Processor

Process several audio files in one pass with the newly overhauled Batch Processor. View pertinent metadata in your audio files prior to processing, then apply a full series of processors with the Module Chain, now accessible from within the Batch Processor interface. At the end of it all, export your files in multiple file formats and bit-depths for optimal efficiency and organization. This tool is ideal for refining hundreds of samples for custom-made sample libraries.

Improved Music Rebalance

Identify vocals, bass, percussion, and other instruments in a mix, and adjust the gain for each element. Isolate or remove elements, or split stems for tweaking in your DAW. The results sound more transparent over the previous version, nulling to a far greater degree.

Variable Time

Adjust the time-stretch amount of an audio selection without altering its pitch.

Variable Pitch

Adjust the pitch of an audio selection while preserving the time and length.

Music Rebalance

Identify vocals, bass, percussion, and other instruments in a mix, and adjust the gain for each element. Isolate or remove vocals.

Repair Assistant

Repair Assistant is an intelligent tool that detects noise, clipping, clicks, and more, allowing you to solve audio-restoration issues quickly and effectively. After analyzing any snippet of audio you select, it will provide three different options for processing, and let you make the ultimate choice.

Composite View

Composite View allows you to edit and apply processing to 32 individual audio tracks as if they were one, easily addressing audio issues that appear across multiple microphones.

De-Bleed

Working across multiple tracks, the De-bleed module reduces the leakage of one signal into another. De-bleed can help reduce or eliminate bleed from headphones, click tracks, multiple mics with small amounts of cross bleed, and even some drum bleed issues.

De-Ess

The De-ess plug-in and module attenuates or reduces sibilance (the harsh high-frequency sounds that come from S, F, X, SH, and soft-C sounds). Two modes for handling sibilance are provided. Classic Mode detects sibilants and attenuates them with a broadband gain envelope. Spectral Mode is more transparent, intelligent, and frequency-specific, and only attenuates the high frequencies where sibilance is most active, leaving the lower frequencies untouched.

Mouth De-Click

The Mouth De-click module has been finely tuned to detect and reduce mouth noises such as clicks and lip smacks—many listeners' worst nightmare. It's designed for use on longer audio selections, but it can also be used to remove individual clicks.

Breath Control

The Breath Control module intelligently detects breaths in dialogue or vocal recordings and suppresses them. Removing and reducing breaths in recordings can be a time-consuming process for dialogue editors and music producers. Breath Control can help reduce the time spent on repetitive editing without sacrificing audio quality.

Voice De-Noise

The zero-latency Voice De-noise has been designed to focus on dialogue and sung vocal treatment. Voice De-noise has an Adaptive mode that can adjust to a changing noise floor in real time, making it ideal for dialogue denoising. Also added are optimization modes for dialogue and music. When optimized for music, Voice De-noise excels at attenuating unwanted background noise from air conditioners and street noise to sung vocals in apartment recording situations.

Key Features at a Glance

  • De-plosive eliminates every plosive from any dialogue track with transparency
  • Leveler smooths any volume inconsistencies with an automatic clip gain envelope; leveler is optimized for dialogue using intelligent De-breath and De-ess algorithms

iZotope Neoverb Intelligent Reverb Software (Download)

Quit wasting hours trying to blend your reverb correctly in the mix; instead, download iZotope's Neoverb, and hear the right reverb in seconds, thanks to its AI-powered technology. The Reverb Assistant customizes the verb to your particular needs. No matter the sound source, Neoverb can listen to it, analyze it, and create the perfect reverberation setting in response.

Neoverb is a rare piece of software that is equally useful to beginners and professionals. For the beginner, tweaking a reverb to blend correctly is difficult and time-consuming, but Neoverb accomplishes this feat quickly. The Reverb Assistant also shows you how it generated settings through its intuitive interface, teaching you about reverb in the process. The professional engineer, on the other hand, is often working against deadlines. Neoverb cuts down on the time it takes to select and tweak the right plug-ins, helping you achieve the sound you want with greater speed.

Built-In Reverb Assistant

Press the prominent Reverb Assistant button, and you'll automatically have a leg up on the sound: this button opens a window that allows you to simply suggest some governing parameters. You can guide the assistant to give you something realistic, or something dramatic; something dark or something bright; something small, like a room, or large, like a cathedral. Play audio, and the assistant listens to it, EQs it to minimize clash and conflict, and gives you back a sterling reverb in accordance with the settings you chose up top.

Advanced Features for Those Who Need It

Under the hood, Neoverb utilizes three discrete reverb engines to give you a result with exceptional depth. Not only can you blend these three reverb tanks however you wish—you can also access advanced controls for each reverb engine, tweaking Attack, Crossover, Damping, and other parameters to your fancy. Sync Pre-Delay to your track's tempo, or have it stand out for greater emphatic control in the mix.

Blend Pad for Reverb Engines

The Blend pad allows you to fine-tune the blend of Neoverb's three reverb engines by ear, giving you an easy to way to create a unique verb effect in a short amount of time. The Blend Pad is also automatable, so you can jump among different blends of reverb for creative effects, or for transitions in your song.

Multiple Options for Blending Reverb with Dry Signal

Neoverb's I/O (input/output) panel gives you multiple ways to blend your reverb with your original signal. You can soften the transients of any audio entering Neoverb using the Smooth control, which will keep sudden percussive hits from disrupting your reverb. This is in addition to the Dry/Wet control and Level slider, which offer the conventional methods for blending reverb.

Automatic Tonal Control

Neoverb can tweak the tone coming and going: it'll tweak the input EQ, to make sure the sound is perfectly calibrated for the reverb on the way in. It can also tweak the reverb EQ, to make sure the results don't get in the way of the original signal. All of these things can be done automatically.

Complete Tonal Control

The Input and Reverb EQ panels can also be tweaked by hand, which is a boon for the professional mixing engineer. Furthermore, Neoverb offers a Masking Meter to stop muddy mixes before they happen. This meter communicates with other iZotope plug-ins via Inter-Plugin Communication, and shows you, in clear terms, how your reverb is muddying up other tracks. This helps you prevent your vocal reverb from disrupting your drums, for instance.

Extensive Modulation Control

Add animation to your reverb with the Mod pad, which sports two modes for both subtle and creative reverb modulation. Keep the Mod on low settings to make longer reverb tails feel more natural, or increase the setting (up to 125%) for more intense creative effects.

iZotope Exponential Audio Symphony 3D - Algorithmic Reverb for Stereo, Surround, or Immersive Audio Applications

Available for download, Exponential Audio Symphony 3D from iZotope is an algorithmic reverb that can add character and color to sound sources. The plug-in offers 24-channel support, and as such, you'll find it equally useful in music and post-production contexts. Whether you're preparing audio for surround sound formats (up to 7.1), Atmos, or Auro 3D, this reverb can provide an intuitive yet tweakable interface as well as a pleasurable sound.

Exponential Audio plug-ins trace their origin to the classic Lexicon units of yesteryear. Symphony 3D certainly expands upon that sound, adding color as well as dimension to your signals.

Symphony 3D provides comprehensive controls separated into tabs. Click into the Early Reflections tab, and you can tailor the sound to your needs in highly specific ways. Click into the Tails tab and you'll find a whole new set of controls over the late reflections. You'll also see three sets of input filtering, providing high-, low-, and band-pass tweaking on global inputs, early reflection inputs, and tail inputs respectively.

A Warp tab lets you add compression and overdrive, and also facilitates other effects such as bit-reduction, for a more vintage, digital sound. A chorus section adds modulation, and you can dictate how modulation effects the tails or early reflections on an individual basis. Other features abound: use the Gate tab to create classic, gated-reverb sounds, or automate the Freeze button to achieve weird, momentary effects.

Whether you're looking for halls, chambers, rooms, or plates, Symphony 3D has a colorful reverb for you. Browse through them by keyword, or click the magnifying glass in the top right of the GUI to search. Over 1700 presets are provided in total, many of them for music, many of them for post-production, and many more suitable for both contexts.

This product is compatible with Mac and Windows platforms. It operates in AU, VST, and AAX formats. An iLok account is required for authorizing the plug-in, though an iLok key is not strictly necessary.

Top and Main Balance Tabs

You'll note two different Balance tabs: TopBalance and MainBalance. These two tabs have been separated to give you a free-hand in the height dimension. Flip between the two to manipulate parameters for sound emanating above your head or towards your feet.

Both of these sections offer control over levels and delays on a per-channel basis. Go into this tab when you want to create compelling soundscapes for surround-sound formats.

Key Features at a Glance

  • Lush surround reverb algorithm
  • Up to 24 channels, including Atmos, Auro 3D, NHK, and more
  • Channel-specific balance controls for top and main signals

  • EuControl support

iZotope VocalSynth 2 Vocal Resynthesis and Harmony Generation Software

Featuring a complete graphical redesign and a whole new voice-modeling module, iZotope VocalSynth 2 is a tool designed to transform an input signal—usually a vocal—into a creative, synthetic sound. An instance of this plug-in provides access to five separate vocal engines. You get the four modules from the original Vocalsynth (Vocoder, Talkbox, Polyvox, & Compuvox), and a whole new one called Biovox.

Biovox utilizes scientific modeling of the human vocal tract, allowing you to change aspects like formants, vowel shapes, and nasality in a smooth manner. Use Biovox for subtly-changed vocal doubles when you've only got a single vocal track, or utilize this module as an eccentric sound-design tool.

The effects section has been updated to provide better sound quality, and two new stompbox-style modules have been added to the mix: Chorus and Ring Mod, the latter also serving as an idiosyncratic tremolo effect. As with the previous version of VocalSynth, you can use the plug-in in various modes, including Auto Mode (requiring no MIDI or sidechaining), MIDI Mode (imparting the consonants, formants, and vowels of a sidechain inpun upon the MIDI synth); and Sidechain Mode (applying the quality of the vocal to an audio source, say a guitar for example).

This plug-in also allows for inter-communication between iZotope plug-ins, meaning you can seamlessly integrate VocalSynth 2 with Neutron 2, Ozone 8, and Tonal Balance Control. VocalSynth 2 can be seen and manipulated within Neutron 2's Visual Mixer and Masking Meter as well. This software is compatible with Mac and Windows platforms, and supports AU, VST, and AAX formats.

5 Vocal Processing Engines

VocalSynth 2 provides separate engines for Vocoder, Talkbox, Polyvox, Compuvox, and now Biovox. Use any of these to emulate the tones of classic records or to achieve something truly new.

Stompbox Style Effects

VocalSynth 2's effects include two brand new pedal-style effects: Chorus and Ring Mod with a tremolo effect. Now drag to re-order all seven effects including an improved Shred with sequencer as well as Distort, Filter, Transform, and Delay.

3 Modes

VocalSynth 2 is built to be flexible, giving you three ways to interact and create: Auto Mode, MIDI Mode, and Sidechain Mode.

Inter-Plugin Communication

Use VocalSynth 2 within Neutron 2's Visual Mixer and Masking Meter, as well as Tonal Balance Control for a bird's eye view of your music production at all times.

Improvements Over Original

Improvements have been made to the Vocoder module, as well as Talkbox, Polyvox, and Compuvox. These improve usability, CPU utilization, and sound quality.

iZotope Insight 2 Metering and Audio Analysis Plug-In for Music and Postproduction

Available for download, iZotope Insight 2 is an update to their renowned metering software and comprises a set of tools designed for post-production and broadcast applications. Insight 2 provides an extensive set of audio analysis and metering tools that can help you visualize the changes made during mixing and mastering. These meters can be essential for troubleshooting problematic mixes, as well as ensuring compliance with broadcast loudness standards.

Fully customizable and scalable, Insight 2 allows you to visually monitor all the relevant information from your mono, stereo, or multichannel mix in a convenient floating window. This window has been redesigned and updated to provide a sleek look more in concert with iZotope's current design scheme. Also, the GUI is now resizable: it can encompass a full screen or just one tiny meter floating in the corner of your DAW. Thus, the metering can be adapted to suit your workflow as it changes.

Insight 2 visually guides you throughout the mixing process, empowering you to look deeper into your audio with intelligent analysis tools and real-time monitoring capabilities. Loudness meters are clearly visible with color-coded readouts for short-term, momentary, and integrated values. Multichannel RMS metering is on hand, as is sound-field monitoring, a loudness history graph, a spectrum analyzer (for frequency content), a customizable spectrogram, and a new addition to the family: the Intelligibility Meter.

This tool works in conjunction with iZotope's new Relay module to help you see, at a glance, whether or not dialogue is intelligible over the rest of the mix. Simply put Relay on your mix, and track the results in the meter. With an easy-to-read scale, you will discover if your dialogue's intelligibility will translate to other listening environments. You can even choose listening environments to check if the dialogue will read well over moderately noisy or severely noisy confines. 

The included Relay module facilitates intercommunication with compatible iZotope products as well as the ability to monitor the output of audio affected by third-party plug-ins; the latter function is accomplished by instantiating Relay as the last plug-in in your chain. The module itself has mul
