Izotope Ozone 11 Review (Plugin Police)

[@ManchesterMusic]

I've had rings under my eyes since I was a teenager, not much I can do about it unfortunately. I love my job and the people I work with and am happy you're enjoying Ozone 11!

[@jamalkargbo1112]

Your videos have helped me out tremendously. Keep it up

[@ManchesterMusic]

Thanks dude! Appreciate the kind words!@@jamalkargbo1112

[@nnctnlav]

lol

[@corygoldsmithmusic]

Love you so much Geoff

[@Synthheaduk]

Geoff this guy has no class. Shouldn’t even bother acknowledging this crap.

[@ncyancy]

Ahhh😂 the comment about the ozone rep was hilarious-thanks, that was a good laugh-Geoff is cool though and makes great tutorial videos! The bags show his total commitment to his work.

[@larswillsen]

As a very happy Ozone since 10 (yup last year before I was hit by a stroke) and now 11 - I'n really happy ..it complements my Fairshild 670 pretty nice ... -ish :)

[@maybient]

I've gone an almost full 360 with regard to plugins. Of course in the beginning I only had the stock plugins (of Logic Pro). Then I got a bunch of plugins (including Ozone). Now I'm back to using almost only stock plugins with only couple of exceptions - Soothe2, NeoVerb, and Tonal Balance Control. And I'd say Soothe2 is the only one that really matters.

[@hayien]

Same, the more one understands the less stuff is needed to achieve the same result, it’s more efficient

[@tomwinterstone]

Haha same here. I bought way more stuff than what I actually need. Stock stuff takes you almost there.

[@S4SK__1]

after all the years testing plugins the only stuff that stuck with me is the ones from Xfer and fabfilter

[@Solanaar]

I got into izotope when ozone 8 released. over the years i got most of them and they are used pretty often. i upgraded, when ozone 9 came out but since then i really didn't feel the need to upgrade anymore. the suite already does everything it needs to in almost any scenario. they are simply adding features to legitimize the updates and i am not sure how to feel about it. i will consider when the scaling actually scales the ui

[@nofood1]

Still using Ozone 9 literally… daily, I might upgrade to 11 but $399 is a ton😢

[@Mista808]

[@maddyd1836]

I would watch any video Geoff makes. He’s So helpful and nobody else has that voice!

[@djcata7474]

Geoff Manchester... The guy does a really great job, and "letting someone go" usually means firing him. NO, let Geoff stay, Izotope. Give him a bonus and send him to Hawaii instead.

Upgrade prices are crazy. I’ve been loyal to Ozone since 2016. I’ve upgraded my Production Suite every year.

[@shinyisshiny7780]

absolute BS, im done with them.

[@dat1beats]

@@shinyisshiny7780 I would say the same because I don’t need it. I own just about every Native Instruments, Fabfilter, Waves, and Plugin Alliance plugin but I’ll wait to see what they do.

I went through this last year when 10 came out. Their “loyalty” is a joke. I’m done with them. And NI. This is what happens when investment firms buy audio companies.

[@dat1beats]

@@Labyrinth1010 One year I purchased Music Production Bundle then a new Ozone came out so I paid around $200 for Oz10 then a new Music Production Bundle came out with more plugins. I’m tiered of these games.

[@woollas]

It's called a Flob .. .A fader mixer knob circle thing.

[@valdir7426]

still with ozone 9 standard; honestly I use mostly the master assistant; it provides decent results and if you're in a hurry it's great. I'll usually maybe add an exciter and imager (the imager can go on individual tracks though; it's a free tool). It's a bit hard to see a clear benefit from upgrading though, maybe I'll wait one of those crazy deals they do on black friday. Advanced version price is nuts; I'll get by without the clarity module. also I do get a deal on standard; not on advanced

[@ProjectHMF]

I have ozone 9 standard aswell, it already does everything I need honestly

[@perrykeshahwalker5321]

Vintage mode sounds great with neo soul, blues and gospel.

[@ORUMusic]

I definitely would be willing to pay a bit to upgrade to 11, but the $299 price tag when I already own Ozone 10 Advanced is definitely too steep for me to not just stick with that.

[@zero2herobeatspaul882]

My update was 164 euro.

[@DJeMo]

Just wait to half year and get it 50% off or less have patience save dollars

[@SatanicHymns666]

Great video man! So glad you gain matched a plugin for A/B thank god, im so sick of "this plugin just makes it sound so much better" when all it does is add 1-2dB of volume.

[@flashcardsthebeautifulj5632]

Why is the guy you are using to demo using the N-word? And why are you playing it?

[@murraywebster1228]

The so-called „loyalty“ upgrade prices are a slap in the face, especially when you consider the „introductory price for full suite“, it’s disgusting

[@PurpleMusicProductions]

I already have those Fabfilter plugins you mentioned, so I am probably not the target audience for izotope. Like you said lowend focus was a mid product, because that truly should have been addressed in the mixing phase by sculpting specific frequencies of each instrument.

[@SwayzeeBeats]

yes but also not alwaaaays, if that makes sense. theres a continuity that comes with doing it this way as well. its not for every song, but it is effective.

[@DK-ty5ue]

I’m still using 8. The loyalty prices are a slap along with the constant plugin updates not updating a whole lot

[@malcolmfrancis4543]

IM WAITING!!!!!!!!!!

[@Harrysound]

I bought advanced 9 then I got standard 10 in Komplete. The upgrade to 11 is now £99 but you just know 12 is around the corner with another £150 upgrade. I’m kinda seeing through Ozone. I think I’m ready to do it all manually and learn that way.

[@vjreimedia]

Your videos are actually good.

[@qtv3423]

Came for the plugin review and left with a headache from laughter! Never going to look at "that izotope guy" the same way now. 😂😂😂

[@axonathan]

I got a great deal to upgrade to production suite 5.2 a few weeks ago, and received a $49 coupon to upgrade to 6,.I was happy enough with that.

[@bhagwan5806]

I think you should call those buttons/faders 'nipples' or 'nubbins'. Seems to me like that would annoy marketing/product management the most.

[@TheTonyTitan]

[@jorgecds]

At this point they could have released a stem isolation effect or module but I guess they really want to leave that for those who buy RX. Either that or they just give up on their algorithm beating Serato Sample.

[@b-raffmusic9144]

Yo you’re telling me it wasn’t just me encountering the master assistant never using dynamics ?! I was always so confused at what I was doing wrong 😂😂

[@newguy6935]

I've used Gulfoss for curve shaping by side chaining pink noise (or brown, or 4.5 or whatever). Works well.

[@donnydarko7624]

Master Plan and gold clip. Fab Filter pro Q3, and Saturn are by far the best two individual plugins out of the fabfilter lineup with volcano close behind imo.

[@pumpitright]

Ozone 9 is still the best to me oh yeah your content is very entertaining keep it up 👍🏾

[@Synthheaduk]

I really do think you must have hit your head if you think it’s cool to make fun of people’s physical appearances. Maybe he is tired bc he is has been working his ass off (something I doubt you do) or maybe that’s just how he looks and you are a bully. What’s pretty clear is you put very little work in on this video and also you sound like you could use a nap too or maybe that’s the way you talk, all sleepy like you can barely try to get the words out so we can understand. Either way, great job educating people. You are a classy person.

[@shaboogen]

Jesus bro, get over it.

[@vincewatson_official]

I also thought it was a bug until I added it to my cart and then it gave me the discount. Costs me €169 from 10advanced to 11advanced

[@baselinesweb]

I felt Ozone 10 was a depressing release. I thing Ozone 11 follows along after one day of using it. You sound like Billy Bob Thornton which is an extreme plus in my book. I love your style! Call them Izotope Fknobs. Your pronunciation is up to you. Multiple instance on Stems??? It sounds like I am going to need to get a supercomputer. Love the batphone. I think I have ADHD because it was better at 1.5 speed. It's not you it's me. Didn't know about the Delta button and actually slowed down to 1.0 for that. Thx.

[@Reggi_Sample]

In short, they added SplitEQ, MV2 and A poor man’s Gullfross

[@itswhzly]

sometimes a good master chain is one Glue Compressor or one Saturator make everything big and loud before the master, its 2023 ya know lol (this is an electronic music producer speaking) no one is right or wrong..right?

Nah I agree for the most part this is overdoing it unless you have to fix other peoples mix issues.

no space ship. and i was fast asf /:

[@kovalewsky]

The fader/ knob thingies should be called "flobs"

[@Rareos]

I own Ozone 10 and the upgrade is over half the cost of buying a new license. There are a handful of new modules and features. Makes no sense. Upgrading should be like 49€ or something.

[@Beatsbasteln]

delta buttons :) it's funny because i just made a video on how everyone adds them now. the examples i had in my video weren't even that new though

[@ZimCrusher]

As an Izotope master, which would you recommend? RX10 or Nectar 4 for Voice work? Just voice. Narration, singing, yelling, character, etc. RX10 has the ability to find actual words in the audio, but Nectar has noise removal. I could not find noise removal in RX10.

[@ThatSockmonkey]

Jokes on you, I ALREADY HAD bad mastering all on my own!

[@pinkdamson]

Hmm... I'm still waiting for the spaceship and it's raining! (: Thanks for your overview here, V useful!

[@zackcolbourne6921]

I left when you told us not to so I could get that sweet lofi sound.

[@danylatulippe]

I've bought the Music Production Bundle 5.2. Then they shipped the Music Production Bundle 6 with the new Ozone and Nectar. I had to pay 49$ to upgrade, which I find reasonable. But, indeed, I found it odd that at the same moment, the upgrade of just Ozone was 199... So, with the bundle, not only I get all the upgrades, but it's way cheaper. ;) It's probably a bug though

[@fleshtonegolem]

"Clarity" did what I perceive as the effect those color blind glasses have on people. Every element has a small border frequency wise to the element next to it. It creates a much more distinct sound stage and gives the ability to really hear what you are focusing on that much easier.

[@minhuang8848]

The difference being that those glasses usually do jack for the people and are just footing on weirdly massive viral PR

[@palsheldon6520]

Fab or Nobber

[@diemturner5755]

In the industry the technical term for those is "knobler".

[@Promidi]

Call that fader thing a fob.

[@mingomarrero]

One of the best and most honest reviews about O11, definitely the funniest and most entertaining on KZbin. I have Ozone 11. I upgraded the Music Production Suite, which I always do, and got a good deal for the plugins included, although I don't use all of them. Not only that, but I really love Ozone 11, it makes mastering easy for me with all the tools in one plugin.

[@ehvmixedit]

woooooooooo

[@VJLeighGilmour]

Good advice! Thanks weaver

[@ethan_djoseph]

4:20 maybe a "vertical kfob"

I stopped at 9. The chase for the last ozone version is ridiculous.

[@coolmind2476]

I got upgrade price from 10 Advanced to 11 Advanced of 99$. But I upgraded to 10 Advanced in August so maybe thats just for people who recently upgraded.

IZotope plugins is pretty dope. It’s a shame with their upgrade surprise pricing tho.

[@ziebanez]

I bought the Ozone 9 some years ago. After a while I just used the master assistant for the pupose of using ONLY the dynamic EQ find the resonnances. Maybe I`ll buy the "Reso" plugin from Mastering The Mix, then I won`t use Ozone at all 😂

Lots of colour cool looks, however I'll just stick to using the ancient Goldwave to master.

[@Drinkyoghurt]

I mean, you know this, but them sending a free plugin to any KZbinr doesn't cost them anything and just gets them free marketing from your work. You should be charging them for doing in-depth reviews like this. You made a 15 minute video ad for free basically.

[@Dontloseyourlight100]

"I don't know if I see an asshole or a bug" - - - 😂 😂 😂 😂!!

[@morgan0]

i wish they just had them as separate plugins, at least as an option, so if you want just one part you could buy just that one. would also make the different versions irrelevant, or replace them with bundles.

[@TheGaragebandGuide]

Great no bullshit review!

[@deaffatalbruno]

so not worth upgrading if u on ozone 10 and the upgrade price is not a bug!
