Designed to give musicians and producers a new level of control over their final masters, Ozone 12 introduces three new modules, an update to its AI-powered assistant that gives artists more creative input, and a stunning new IRC limiting algorithm for its trusted Maximizer.
Ozone 12 comes in three editions: Elements, Standard, and Advanced, with Advanced including 21 individual plugins. All editions include the AI-powered Master Assistant with intelligent tech that guides, not decides. iZotope designs with AI to assist and inspire artists, unlocking the impossible without compromising on creative control.

Ozone 12 features
- Stem EQ: Apply EQ to vocals, drums, bass, and instruments separately within a stereo audio file, eliminating the need for tedious mix edits.
- Bass Control: A machine-learing powered module that refines low-end frequencies, ensuring masters hit hard in any listening environment.
- Unlimiter: Revive overly compressed audio, restoring lost transients and dynamics with the power of machine-learning.
- Custom Master Assistant Flow: The AI-powered Master Assistant now offers a custom flow, allowing for specific module choices, LUFS targets, and dozens of genre modifiers to create a unique mastering chain.
- IRC 5 Maximizer Mode: The fan-favorite Maximizer now includes the IRC 5 limiting algorithm, which delivers outstanding loudness and clarity without the usual tradeoffs like pumping or distortion.
Ozone 12 is also available to purchase now at the iZotope store and from Plugin Boutique starting from $55 USD.
