What’s new in Ozone 12?

What is Ozone?

Built on two decades of award-winning innovation at the cutting edge of mastering tech, this complete suite helps bring tracks to life – whether it’s your first or the latest in a long line of hits.

Way back in 2017, Ozone’s Al-powered Master Assistant sparked the shift to faster, smarter, more accessible mastering. Using the analysis of thousands of pro tracks, Master Assistant was the first to create custom presets that match target sounds in seconds. And it’s just that, your creative co-pilot, your trusty guide. There to save you precious time, to support your creativity, to take the mystery out of mastering.

Doing the impossible is an Ozone tradition. Best-in-class neural nets unlock new ways to master faster and smarter than ever, with uncharted levels of control and creativity. Need a little magic to fix a squashed mix? Some surgical control over stems? Ozone is the answer.

Whether you’re starting your journey or perfecting your craft, there’s an Ozone just for you. Take your first steps with Elements, finesse your sound with Standard, or complete your suite with Advanced.
