iZotope Ozone
The industry-standard mastering suite, now with stem-level EQ.
Ozone is iZotope's flagship mastering suite and the most widely used AI-assisted mastering tool in professional studios. Its Master Assistant analyzes a track against genre targets or a reference and builds a starting chain of EQ, dynamics, imaging and limiting that you then adjust. Ozone 12 added stem-level EQ, so you can shape vocals, bass or drums inside a finished stereo mix without the stems. It comes in Elements, Standard and Advanced editions, or as part of iZotope's subscription. iZotope moved from Native Instruments to VFX company Boris FX in July 2026; existing licenses and subscriptions carried over.
