  Azuma's review

  Getting Started

  The program works on any platform either Windows XP, Windows Seven or MAC OS , so compatibility issues shouldn't be a problem.
  
  
  
  The manual included with the program is great , Avid made a well detailed book explaining how the program works , how exactly it's supposed to work and where is he heading.
  
  
  
  The general configuration and setup is quite fast , I haven't had any problems with it , and it took me a short amount of time to get it done.
  
  
  
  The typical functions are quite easy to access , you have a very straight forward designed window to browser different topics and different exercises.

  Suitability/Performance

  The software works very good in this configuration , everything about it is on a high level.
  
  
  
  The gear and software are very stable and works without any crashes or errors.
  
  
  
  I've been using Ozone 5 for about 6 months now , however the impact that it had on my mixes, on my recording , on my musical creation is huge.

  Overall Opinion

  What I like most about it are the presets that come with the program , they are well structured , based on their range , instrument , frequency response , on certain effects or other specific line.
  
  
  
  I also do like that this is a visual program , you have a very nice view of the incoming and out going signal so that way every little option that you tweak , you get an instant results.
  
  
  
  Value of the price is great , this pack isn't a very expensive one , that way you should this product on the net and buy it , it's a very powerful tool for the mastering or mixing or even just for creating different effects.
  
  
  
  Precision and quality of the sounds are on a high level , so there's basically nothing really to complain.

  sw80's review "Cheaper than WAVES"

  Getting Started

  I just bought iZotope Ozone 5 last week, it is a complete mastering tool that you can use as a plug-in with whichever DAW you want to use it with. It is well designed and the user interface is very easy to work with and to understand. It does take some time to fully understand how to use everything and all of its functions. I have been using it for a week and I am nowhere near where I want to be with this suite yet. I am learning more and more about the Harmonic Exciter Module and the Imaging Module every day. Once I feel like I have fully mastered those two I will move on to others.

  Suitability/Performance

  This mastering suite does take some time to install, I paid for the box version; I am not sure if there is a download only version or not. It came with the manual which I used a lot to get a better understanding of the plug ins. The manual is not as big as I though it should be for all of these plug-ins but it is easy to understand.

  Overall Opinion

  This whole suite is a group of plug-ins that you can add to your tracks or master track on the mixer channel to get the best possible master and mix to your music. It is very in-depth and will take some time to understand. Everything that I use to use like EQ and all of the standard stuff has now been replace with iZotope Ozone 5 plug-ins now. They are very similar to the WAVES bundle of plug-ins that you can use to master with.
  
  This bundle is very affordable and well worth the money considering everything you will get with this bundle and how much it will help the overall sound of your compositions. It will really take you to another level after learning to use these plug-ins.

  stompboxjon's review "All in one mastering suite "

  Getting Started

  IZotope Ozone 5 was easy to install and set up on my Dual Core PC running Windows Vista. I never experienced any crashes or freezes either. It was compatible with just about all of my other software that I was using. I mainly used Ozone 5 in Reason and it worked great. Ozone 5 is a plug in that has a maximizer, equalizer and a few other features but I only used it for those two. The current price of Ozone 5 is 199 but it was 250 when it first came out so now is a great time to purchase it. When you purchase you will receive a link to download it, then you will receive your license and registration code in your email pretty quick.

  Suitability/Performance

  Ozone 5 works great and does exactly what it says it will do. It will really take your master to the next level and it will do it better than any built in plug ins that come with your software and DAW can do it. I have been using Ozone 5 for two months now and I am happy with what it has done for my overall sound. You don’t know the difference in how well it will work until you try it.

  Overall Opinion

  My favorite part of using Ozone 5 is the interface of it, it has made it extremely easy for me to get right down to business and in depth but still keeping it simple enough to understand the first time you use it. Everything in Ozone 5 is based on visual effects to show you signal processing. It makes it easier than ever to get the mix and master that you want. Using the “exciter” that comes with Ozone 5 is enough alone to add that great sound to your master, you can use Ozone 5 without having to worry about it making your system slow because it is very easy on your CPU. It is an all in one mastering device that we all need to have!

  Feel's review ( translated ) Improve this translation " Super!"

  Getting Started

  As always with Izotope products, installation is very simple and authorization by the LCC is a hassle! This is not the fault but the fault of Izotope manager key that is a disaster! You should know that already, here does not work with Firefox (must be explored), but often does not even here if you have a 64 bit OS.

  Suitability/Performance

  A good big machine PC music ... I use Ozone 5 and Sonar with Soundforge. No worries!

  Overall Opinion

  This is my one and only mastering tool ... and he does everything well. I must admit that the presets are enough for me most often. In my opinion, the high-end version is useless ...
