Ozone 12 is designed for mastering and finalizing musical and audio productions: preparing a track for streaming, ensuring consistency across an EP, upgrading an album, or creating alternative masters (instrumental, radio edit, more dynamic version). It is suitable for both home studios and professional environments, with a clear goal: to help you save time while maintaining full control over color, dynamics, spectral balance, and the translation of your mixes across different listening systems.
Thanks to intelligent assistance technology that guides without imposing, Ozone 12 accelerates key decisions (target level, processing chain, overall optimization) while remaining a precision tool for the ear: micro-adjustments, comparison, and fine-tuning to achieve a polished master faithful to your intention.
The low-frequency range is often the hardest to judge: untreated room, speakers lacking extension, flattering headphones, etc. Bass Control offers a modern approach to visualize and stabilize bass energy. You quickly identify excesses, imbalances, and collisions between kick and bass, then shape a cleaner, more consistent low end that translates better across various systems.
Received a premaster that's already too limited, or bounced a file lacking breathing space? Unlimiter acts as a dynamic restoration tool: it allows you to rebalance impact and the sense of movement without starting from scratch. Ideal for rescuing an overly compressed file, restoring punch, and avoiding a flat sound while maintaining a musical approach.
When you don't have stems on hand, fixing an overly harsh vocal or an overly present snare can become tricky. Stem EQ allows you to equalize separately groups such as vocals, drums, bass, and instruments directly within a stereo file. This opens the door to targeted corrections (softening a perceived sibilance, reducing muddy low-mids on the instruments side, recentring an intrusive bass) without reopening the mixing session.
The Master Assistant evolves with a "personalized" workflow: you choose your processing logic and goals (module selection, target LUFS level, genre targets, etc.). The idea is not to replace your judgment but to provide a coherent base quickly, then let you refine with your criteria: more transparency, more density, more glue, or conversely more dynamics.
The Maximizer integrates the new IRC 5 algorithm, designed to push perceived loudness while maintaining a cleaner sound. You get clearer and more powerful masters with finer transient control, helping preserve kick attacks, snare presence, and overall intelligibility when aiming for competitive volume.
Ozone 12 brings together a modern mastering chain: correction, dynamic control, spectral management, and finalization, with ergonomics designed for step-by-step workflow. The 20 modules allow you to tailor the chain to style (pop, rock, hip-hop, electro, film music) and context (single for platforms, more dynamic master, or denser version). The result: a smooth workflow, faster decisions, and a master that holds up on speakers, headphones, car systems, and portable devices.
