For those looking to “color” their tracks, there are plenty of other options on the market.

In my opinion, for a mastering eq this is precisely what’s wanted. O5’s eq, to my ears, is a very sweet, clean and “neutral” equalizer its boosts and cuts bring out the original character of the track in question without adding much color. This mode can analyze an audio track, capture its eq curve, and then apply it to another piece of audio. Finally, alongside the eq is a Matching Eq mode. Mixed Phase Mode (like the other modes) also lets you select Independent Curve shapes for both analog-style and “surgical” curves. Let’s dive in and see what O5 and O5 Advanced have to offer as well as what’s new since Ozone 4.Įxclusive to O5 Advanced is Mixed Phase mode, which allows one to use both digital linear filters and analog-style filters at the same time. But enough about the high level view of O5. Ozone 5 Advanced comes with everything O5 has in addition, the Equalizer, Maximizer, Dynamics, Reverb, Stereo Imaging and Exciter are all available as individually loadable plug-ins, there are extended features in every module, and it includes an entire suite of configurable meters. Ozone 5 comes in two different versions the “standard” version (which we’ll just call O5 in this review, since it has no specific name) and the “Advanced” version. I last reviewed version 4 in our June 2009 issue now it’s time to take a look at Ozone 5, which has brought a lot of new and improved features to the table. Ozone, is a well-established player in the computer audio market.
