Looking deeper reveals that the hard and soft mode on the Maximizer has been removed, there’s only one dither algorithm (MBIT+), there are no scaling sliders to adjust the overall amounts of each effect, there are no presets for the individual modules (apart from the standalone plug-in versions), and the preset list is much smaller.Īlso, you can now only have one snapshot saved, making it harder to reference multiple tracks the meter bridge has now gone (although you still get the Insight Analysis suite) and the dynamics module no longer has gating. For starters, the aforementioned Reverb module is no longer present, and although some may argue thatreverb has no place in mastering, others would say it’s an essential tool. Missing in Action Unfortunately, the same can’t be said for Ozone 6 Advanced, which seems to be a bit of a downgrade.

This makes Ozone 6 a very attractive proposition to newcomers or those looking to upgrade from Ozone 5. The regular version of Ozone 6 has in fact been fleshed out to include several features that were previously only available in the Advanced version, such as the additional Triode and Dual Triode Exciter modes, and the Transient Emphasis feature in the Maximizer module. The GUI itself has had a complete overhaul, and many of the features have been moved around to make things more intuitive, such as having the stereo and M/S controls at the side, and a separate section for dithering. Other new features include new shapes and a slider to control the phase of each band in the EQ module, a streamlined Match EQ, plus an excellent new Dynamic EQ module in the Advanced version that enables you to precisely control the dynamics of a specific band.

The same modules are present from before and include EQ, Post EQ, Dynamics, Stereo Imager, Exciter, and Maximizer, but the Reverb module has been removed entirely.
