IZotope Ozone 12 Advanced

iZotope Ozone 12 Advanced is a comprehensive mastering suite that gives you everything you need to finish your tracks with confidence. Featuring 20 cutting-edge tools, intelligent assistance and deep control over tone, loudness and dynamics, it is designed to help you achieve competitive, release-ready masters inside your favourite DAW.

Whether you are polishing a single, delivering an album or prepping stems for streaming platforms, Ozone 12 Advanced streamlines the entire mastering process. New modules like Bass Control, Stem EQ and the latest IRC5 Maximizer mode work alongside an updated Master Assistant, guiding you from rough mix to polished master while still letting you make detailed, musical decisions at every stage.

Ozone 12 Advanced is built for modern production workflows, with native Apple silicon support, 64-bit AAX, AU and VST3 formats, and compatibility with the latest versions of major DAWs. From subtle tonal enhancement to loud, punchy masters, it gives you the precision and flexibility needed to meet today’s professional standards.

Intelligent Mastering Workflow

The updated Master Assistant in Ozone 12 Advanced offers a new custom flow that analyses your audio and suggests starting points tailored to your material and goals. Instead of generic presets, you get intelligent, context-aware settings that speed up your workflow and help you reach a polished result more quickly, while still leaving room for your own creative decisions.

Deep Low-End Control

The new Bass Control tools give you focused command over the low frequencies in your mix. By shaping and balancing the bottom end with precision, you can achieve tight, controlled bass that translates across headphones, club systems and streaming platforms, reducing guesswork and endless referencing.

Stem-Focused Processing

With the new Stem EQ module, Ozone 12 Advanced lets you target and refine specific elements within your master. This makes it easier to correct tonal imbalances or enhance key parts of the mix at the mastering stage, giving you extra flexibility when you cannot return to the original multitrack session.

Modern Loudness and Clarity

The Unlimiter and new IRC5 Maximizer mode provide powerful, transparent loudness control. You can push your masters to competitive levels while preserving punch, detail and stereo width, helping your tracks stand up against commercial releases without sacrificing musicality.

• Complete 20-Tool Mastering Suite - Ozone 12 Advanced brings together 15 pro modules plus additional tools for tone shaping, dynamics, imaging and loudness, so you can handle every stage of mastering in one integrated environment. This reduces the need for multiple plug-ins and keeps your workflow fast and focused.
• New Master Assistant Custom Flow - The redesigned Master Assistant analyses your track and builds a tailored signal chain with suggested settings, helping you reach a professional starting point in seconds. You can then fine-tune every parameter, combining intelligent guidance with detailed manual control.
• Advanced Bass Control and Stem EQ - Dedicated Bass Control and Stem EQ modules let you refine low-end balance and specific mix elements directly in the mastering stage. This is especially useful for producers and mixers working from stereo bounces, giving you more room to fix issues and enhance clarity without a full remix.
• Unlimiter and IRC5 Maximizer Mode - The Unlimiter and latest IRC5 Maximizer algorithm deliver loud, clean masters with minimal artefacts. You can achieve modern, competitive levels while maintaining transient impact and detail, ensuring your music translates well across streaming services and playback systems.
