Mastering Film Sound with Ozone 4 by iZotope

Modo · 27th August 2010

Has anyone had any success using Ozone 4 for Post Production purposes? I am looking into it but not sure if it would be useful for film sound. I know it will have plenty of uses for some of my music tracks, but I mix film/video projects a lot more often.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

I know of a couple of people who think it's just great.

For me, it just gets too distracting to use on a bus with trying to get each clip to behave as good as I think it should. That and I'm not a fan of Exciters/expanders, gates, compressors all together.

I don't know about Ozone, but I know Alan Meyerson uses iZotope Trash. Read the bottom of this article:

I use it to master my sound effects.
Mostly only the eq and multi band expander; i really like it for this.

Wow I didn't realize that it had a multi-band expander.

I wonder how often projects are professionally mastered with only digital software these days? Another concern of mine is that Ozone 4 will overcook my mixes with a digital sound to them.
