iZotope - Ozone 4.04 .MAC.OSX[djbroke86]

zotope’s flagship, all-in-one mastering suite was first reviewed by SOS back in the April 2002 issue, and version 4 was launched at the recent NAMM show with a list of new features and improvements.
At its heart, Ozone 4 is still based around the six modules found in the original release: Paragraphic Equaliser, Mastering Reverb, Multi-band Dynamics, Multi-band Harmonic Exciter, Multi-band Stereo Imaging and Loudness Maximiser. The general operation of the plug-in and its core modules has remained very similar through Ozone’s development. Readers might, therefore, refer back to the original 2002 review (www.soundonsound.com/sos/apr02/articles/izotopeozone.asp) for the basics, and I’ll focus here on some of the key improvements in this release.
