Complete software
iZotope Ozone 12 is mastering software designed to finalize your productions with a broadcast-ready sound: streaming, video clips, radio, live, or platform release. It helps you achieve a consistent loudness level, control dynamics, solidify tonal balance, and optimize stereo width perception while preserving your mix's character.
Whether you produce modern pop, electronic, rap, rock, or dense music styles, Ozone 12 has a clear goal: to enable you to make quick and reliable decisions. Its intelligent technology guides you through analysis and suggested settings without locking your workflow: you maintain control over every module and parameter, from transparent mastering to a more pronounced finish.
Low frequencies are often the hardest area to master, especially in untreated rooms or on headphones. Bass Control leverages machine learning to facilitate visualization, balancing, and shaping of the low end. The goal is to maintain solid bass without rumble or masking, improving the master's translation on small speakers as well as club systems.
Unlimiter acts as a compression undo tool when the source material has been overly "squashed." It restores breathing room and dimension to an overly limited audio file, recovering more natural transients and a sense of punch. This is particularly useful for rescuing aggressive premasters, overly loud bounces, or reworking already processed archives.
Stem EQ is designed to separately refine element groups (vocals, drums, bass, instruments) from a stereo file. You can correct an overly forward vocal, a too-bright snare, or an intrusive bass without reopening your mixing session. This approach speeds up revisions and simplifies mastering when you don't have access to the individual tracks or stems.
With the "customized" workflow, Master Assistant becomes more flexible: module selection, LUFS target definition, genre-based direction choices, and building a chain coherent with your aesthetic. The goal is not to replace the ear but to provide a relevant and quick starting point that you can then manually refine to match your references.
The Maximizer relies on the IRC 5 mode, an advanced limiting algorithm designed to preserve transparency and clarity when pushing levels. You gain impact without sacrificing definition, with more stable peak control and a better sense of power-ideal for modern masters that must remain clean across a wide variety of playback systems.
Ozone 12 continues over two decades of evolution in the Ozone line: a modern mastering suite designed to be fast when needed and precise enough for demanding finishing work.
