Ozone 9 was released today with a bunch of new features, is it worth the upgrade from Ozone 8? In this video, I share my initial thoughts on iZotope Ozone 9 after testing it out. I tested the CPU efficiency, looked at the new GUI and checked out the new modules – ‘Low-End Focus’ and ‘Master Rebalance’. I also discuss many of the new features and how I think they could be used along with my hopes for the future :) Time Stamps: 0:40 – Overview 1:40 – Efficiency Improvements 2:35 – GUI Updates 3:50 – Workflow Tools 4:40 – Master Rebalance – A truly interesting new module 7:20 – Low-End Focus 9:20 – Master Assistant Update 10:25 – AI Discussion 10:50 – Tonal Balance 2!!! (My favourite plugin) The song being used is a remix of “Conditions” by The Workday Release and Solo Ray CPU test I tested using the same mastering chain with both versions in FL and Studio One. Both times Ozone 8 averaged 33% and 30% CPU usage respectively. Whereas Ozone 9 averaged 26% and 22% CPU usage. I checked the CPU usage on my task manager to ensure it was accurate. This is an improvement of around 20-25% on my system – Not a scientific test, but a real-world test!

Micahel Wynne is a recording artist and mixing engineer with a passion for teaching (and instant ramen). In 2015 I discovered my enthusiasm for music and audio; I learned how to record and produce songs in my university student room with a just cheap laptop and FL Studio. After several months of working in audio sessions between school assignments, I decided to leave uni with a 2-year engineering diploma to pursue a career in music. I wanted to learn everything I could about the industry and the artistic process, so I started making original music as half of the duo “Miavono”. In late 2016 I began my journey on YouTube, sharing my knowledge and experiences with audio in the form of tutorials on “In The Mix”. I quickly grew a community of over 120,000 producers, artists, and audio professionals, a group of people whose passions aligned with mine. Last year I built my own home studio from the ground up in my back garden, set in the rural highlands of Scotland, and have since been supported by and involved with some of the greatest people in the industry.
