0:00 Intro: Ozone 12 is here! Overview of new Features
0:45 Master Assistant Custom Flow (personalized mastering chains)

Custom Assistant flow | Personalized AI power
Call the shots with the new 'Custom' Master Assistant flow. Looking for full transparency? A more aggressive edge? Pick from dozens of genre targets, toggle modules, and set loudness levels to create a module chain that’s truly yours. Save time and finalize your track with confidence – all without ever losing creative control.

3:26 Bass Control module explained

Bass Control | Feel the energy anywhere
Lock in your low end in any listening environment. Whether you're fixing a weak mix, tightening a kick, or adding subtle weight, Bass Control lets you easily balance low end energy while enhancing balance, control, and punch. No more guesswork and crossed fingers. Make sure your masters hit hard in the car, the club, and the charts.

7:01 Stem EQ module (EQ vocals, drums, bass & more)

Stem EQ | Unfixable no more
Thin vocals? Overpowered drums? Impossible to fix without the mix file, right? Not anymore. Unlock unprecedented control over your master with Stem EQ. Avoid tedious mix edits by separately EQing the vocals, bass, drums, and instruments in your stereo bounce. With a simple, feels-like-magic workflow, Stem EQ is everything you need to have the final say over your final balance.

9:45 The Unlimiter (undo over-compression)

Unlimiter | Restore, regain, revive
Bring musicality back to your master. Unlimiter is like an “undo” button for overly compressed audio, using cutting-edge machine learning to bring back lost transients and revive tracks transparently. Just set the threshold (or click the Learn button) and turn up the missing peaks to restore punch and open up tracks for easier, cleaner mastering.

10:24 IRC 5 Maximizer (louder, cleaner limiting)

IRC 5 Maximizer mode | Loudness, uncompromised
Push your masters harder than ever without the usual tradeoffs. Achieve outstanding loudness and stunning clarity with the new IRC 5 limiting mode – the most advanced algorithm yet for Ozone’s fan-favorite Maximizer. Effortlessly craft clean, open masters, even at high LUFS. No pumping. No distortion. Just pure pro polish.
