Ozone 12 Advanced: AI-Powered Mastering Made Simple

Struggling to achieve radio-ready masters without endless tweaking? Frustrated by opaque processes, inconsistent results, or the pressure of tight deadlines? You're not alone — but it doesn’t have to be this hard.

Revolutionize your mastering workflow with intelligent control

Ozone 12 Advanced isn't just another plugin — it's a complete mastering ecosystem built on over 20 years of innovation. With 20 professional-grade tools and AI-driven assistance, it transforms mastering from a bottleneck into a seamless extension of your creativity.

Unlock precision with three new groundbreaking plugins

• Bass Control: Tame low-end chaos with surgical shaping. Achieve broadcast-ready punch and clarity, even on small speakers.
• Stem EQ: Adjust vocals, drums, bass, and more post-mix — no stems required. Fix balance issues without returning to the DAW.
• Unlimiter: Recover dynamic life from over-compressed tracks. Restore natural transients and breathing room in seconds.

AI that empowers, not replaces

Forget rigid automation — Ozone’s Master Assistant analyzes your audio and thousands of professional references to suggest starting points tailored to your genre, style, and loudness goals. It’s not making decisions for you; it’s accelerating yours.

Custom Flow: Total creative command

The enhanced Master Assistant now features Custom Flow, letting you:

1. Select from dozens of genre-specific profiles
2. Upload your own reference tracks
3. Set precise LUFS targets
4. Choose which modules to engage
5. Adjust processing intensity

Start smarter, iterate faster, and stay focused on sound — not settings.

Advanced limiting with IRC 5: Loudness without compromise

Push levels further than ever before with IRC 5, the most sophisticated algorithm in Ozone’s Maximizer. Designed for high-LUFS delivery standards, it delivers:

• Crystal-clear transients
• Zero audible pumping
• No harmonic distortion
• Professional polish across all playback systems

Whether streaming, broadcasting, or distributing physically, your masters retain impact and fidelity.

Neural networks that reveal hidden potential

Leverage cutting-edge machine learning to access previously unattainable aspects of your audio. From spectral balancing to dynamic restoration, Ozone 12 exposes new dimensions of control — turning technical challenges into creative opportunities.

From bedroom to Billboard: Mastering for every stage

What began as a solution for home producers in the 2000s has evolved into an industry standard. Ozone bridges the gap between accessibility and pro-level results, empowering everyone from beginners to Grammy-winning engineers.

A legacy of innovation

Since its inception, Ozone has redefined what’s possible in digital mastering. Each version pushes boundaries — and Ozone 12 continues that tradition with smarter workflows, deeper insight, and unmatched sonic quality.

Stability and efficiency improvements in v12.0.2

Released September 11, 2025, version 12.0.2 includes critical fixes:

• Resolved rare crash after running Master Assistant
• Fixed help button redirecting to outdated Ozone 11 documentation (patched in v12.0.1)

Optimized installation and resource usage

This release improves disk efficiency by eliminating redundant Exciter cache files. A registry-level update ensures the "Exciter Cache" is shared between Ozone 12 and Ozone 12 Exciter — saving space without sacrificing performance.

System requirements

Note: This version (12.0.2.1331) is a palindrome — a subtle nod to precision and symmetry in design.
