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 :)

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!
