iZotope Ozone 4 Now Shipping

After only minor delays, iZotope Ozone 4 is now shipping, much to the chagrin of dissonant transients and erratic dynamic shifts everywhere.

Ozone 4 was announced back in October 2008 at the 125th AES show in San Fransisco, where it was given a January 2009 release date. A complete list of key new features was released at the time:

  • Integrated mastering system combining analog warmth and digital precision
  • New Intelligent Loudness Maximizer mode provides full-sounding masters while handling transients with unprecedented clarity
  • New Perfect Reconstruction crossovers combine analog character with digital clarity
  • New mid/side processing adds a whole new dimension of power to Ozone's EQ, dynamics and harmonic exciter by letting you process different parts of the soundstage separately
  • True Envelope dynamics processing introduces a new alternative to traditional Peak and RMS-based dynamics processing for exceptionally transparent compression, expansion and limiting
  • Improved and enhanced preset system lets users adjust a few simple parameters to get amazing results
  • Many more interface and ease-of-use additions

The news of Ozone's shipping comes also with news of a ten-day free-trial, available to the general public, with access to Ozone 4's complete functionality. iZotope also reaffirms the previously mentioned new and upgrade pricing structures, specifically:

"Customers who bought Ozone 3 after October 1, 2008 are eligible for a free upgrade to Ozone 4. Existing Ozone 3 customers will be able to upgrade for $79 USD, while Ozone 1 and 2 owners can upgrade for $99 USD."

The new full version of iZotope Ozone 4 can be downloaded directly from iZotope for $249.99 USD.
