I find that setting the threshold between -3dB to -7db works best for the ambient music I make. Although you can push the maximizer threshold for louder mixes, it is a good practice to have enough headroom on the master fader to avoid clipping. The Maximizer can significantly bring your track louder and more energetic without having to sacrifice clarity and punch. This is Ozone’s most popular module and it is included in Elements. Right next to the preset browser is the limiter, aka, the Maximizer. On the other hand, the All-Purpose Presets are general presets used as a starting point. The Signature Presets were crafted by Greg Calbi (Norah Jones, Bob Dylan) and includes a handful of useful ones. From acoustic to rock and from modern pop to electronica you can certainly find a preset you need in the Genre-Specific folder. When launched, the plug-in gives the user an assortment of radio-ready presets broken into four categories All-Purpose Mastering, Delivery-Specific Mastering, Genre-Specific Mastering and Signature Presets. Under the hood, Elements utilizes the same engine and algorithms found in the standard Ozone for that loud, full and rich sound. But don’t let the simple interface fool you.
Ozone Elements 7 is a joy to use due to its clean, uncluttered and super-easy-to-navigate GUI. The folks at iZotope couldn’t have created a more user-friendly plug-in.
For beginners who are intimidated to process their own tracks … just relax. Basically, it combines these great features: an easy to use preset-based mastering plugin, a collection of 70+ professionally-made presets, simple parameters/controls to get the sound you’re after and a maximizer(limiter) that’s derived from Ozone’s legendary Maximizer.
This cut-down version gives users an access to a simple yet effective mastering plugin without breaking the bank. They are the maker of the company’s popular flagship mastering software Ozone 7. Ozone 7 Elements is an easy but powerful plug-in from Massachusetts-based software developer iZotope. IZotope’s flagship mastering product, Ozone, now has a lighter-weight (and less expensive) version suitable for those just dipping their toes into the deep end of the mastering pool.
