What Ozone 12 Standard Educational Version does
The suite is organized around a master chain. The chain can be adjusted module by module, and the new Custom Assistant flow lets the user personalize the assistant and call shots with a Custom target. Genre targets are offered in the version 12 release, with 25 new genre targets introduced in Ozone 12. Assistant View keeps the preset and the module settings in one place.
The new IRC 5 Maximizer mode is the developer’s most advanced limiting mode, aimed at louder output with clearer limiting. Stem Focus modes, introduced in Ozone 11, are improved in the Cleaner stem splitting, and Assistive Vocal Balance is offered as a master assistant function. Bass Control and the New Lock low end feature are aimed at making the low end easier to set. Efficient performance is noted on Apple silicon native chips. The Ozone 12 Standard Educational Version carries the Standard level of the suite.
