Finally, someone developed a suite of plug-ins for "mastering" that really work. The audio performance is fantastic and they are really simple to use. Great presets, great customer service, great everything. I can not give any assessment attribute anything less than a 5.

I have been producing audio for a good number of years and putting the polish on a mixdown has always been, well, lets just say less than easy, until I discovered this software. Hours of work, and hit-and-miss frequency tweeking, etc. are accomplished with a simple selection and a little fine tuning.

Even making custom presets, that incorporate established equalization curves, is a snap.

The most difficult thing is saying the complete name of this software in one breath.

I'd recommend trialing it and if you are like me, you'll be hooked.

This, dollar for dollar, is the VERY BEST MONEY I'VE EVER, EVER SPENT on recording software plugins. I love the interface, ane the inoffensive green theme. The controls are fairly intuitive and the results are impressive and immediate. I use it for everything from overall mastering to livening up indevidaul tracks and moving instruments "back" or changing their placement without moving them in the mix. Ozone is awesome for scattering things all over the eq spectrum. The reverb is tastey, simple, and effortless. The maximizer is intelligent and flexible. The EQ is powerful and self-explanatory. And yes, I admit, I like to download and teak the presets people make up. All plugins should be so powerful and affordable.

iZotope Ozone 3 is a godsend to the amateur and advanced home recordist. Lots of great features, an intuitive interface, and great product support (they have a mastering guide on their website). Used correctly, this software will put that elusive sheen on your recordings and give you a more professional finished demo or product.

great for home recording- need a boost? use this! need that shine to your home recording? Use this! Love it!

After days of frustration - and with little help from the customer support department at Izotope - I was finally able to get this product to funtion properly. I was unable to change the rating above, but in fairness, I will give this product three stars. For the money, it does quite a bit. My main useage is to bring up, or "maximize" the levels of my final mixes which Ozone 3 does fairly well, but not quite as good as the comparable Waves L1. Izotope needs to address its customer support department. No one should have to be on hold for an hour and then be disconnected at their closing time as I was.
