In Ozone 9, we’ve updated Tonal Balance Control with faster performance, smooth metering, and more ways to communicate with other iZotope plug-ins across your session.
Tonal Balance Control puts decades of mastering expertise in your hands, letting you adjust your tracks to targets based on thousands of professional masters. It’s the fastest way to a punchy, hard-hitting final master. 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 using this industry-first bass shaping tool. 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. 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. Low End Focus is your first line of defense against a muddy or blurry low end in a mix. A well-balanced mix makes any mastering engineer’s job easier-with Master Rebalance, you can nudge your sound in the right direction. Correct weak-sounding drums saving you from hours of EQ surgery. Give your vocals a small boost to add presence without affecting the midrange, or eliminate muddy low end by slightly lowering the bass guitar. Master Rebalance gives you the final say in a mix, letting you correct and change the levels of instruments without needing the original tracks. No more wondering if your music is ready for primetime-with Ozone 9, the future of mastering is in your hands. Work faster with improved plug-in performance, smoother metering, and resizable windows. Talk to more iZotope plug-ins in your session with Tonal Balance Control and blur the lines between mixing and mastering.
