General Functions
Undo History
All modifications to parameters in Ozone are captured in this list. Click any entry in this list to revert to a previous state of Ozone.
| Control | Description |
|---|---|
| CLEAR | Removes all actions from the history list. Clearing the history list does not affect parameters, it simply removes existing entries from the list. |
| CLOSE | Hides the Undo History window. |
| A/B/C/D | Allows you to set four history snapshot states. Snapshots allow you to quickly toggle between different processing states to compare changes. Assign an event in the history list to a snapshot button by selecting the event in the list and clicking the “Set” button below a snapshot button. |
Module Chain
Ozone’s active modules are loaded into the horizontal signal chain along the top of the interface.
Click, hold, and drag modules horizontally to change their order in the signal chain. More information about the Module Chain can be found in the Common Module Controls chapter.
Module/Plug-in Browser
You can view and add Ozone modules or VST & AU plug-ins by opening the module browser screen. The module browser can be opened by clicking on the ‘+’ space in the module chain.
Notes about the module chain
- The Ozone module chain only supports up to 6 modules at a time. The module browser is not accessible when the module chain is full. Remove a module from the chain to access the module browser.
- VST & AU plug-ins can only be added to the module chain in the Ozone application.
- Ozone component plug-ins do not include a module chain. This functionality is available in the main Ozone plug-in and Ozone application only.
Ozone Modules
The module browser displays all available Ozone modules. If a module has already been added to the module chain, the icon for the module will be greyed out.
Note
- Ozone modules cannot be added more than once to the same module chain.
Plug-ins (Ozone App Only)
You can view and add plug-ins to the module chain in the Ozone application by clicking on the “Plug-ins” tab in the Module browser view.
You can manage plug-in related options by clicking on the gear icon that appears when the “Plug-ins” tab is selected. The Plug-in options tab allows you to enable or disable plug-in formats, configure custom VST plug-in paths and manually start plug-in scanning. When plug-in formats are enabled, the Ozone application will scan for new plug-ins in the background every time it is opened.
Global I/O Meters & Gain
Ozone’s input/output level meters display the input and output level for the left and right channels. Several metering options are available; you can select which metering method you wish to use by opening the I/O options tab in the Options menu, or clicking on the I/O button above the I/O meters (this contains limited options, refer to the I/O tab of the Options menu for more options.)
Setting Input and Output
You can adjust the input or output gain by sliding the faders with the mouse, as well as clicking and using the mouse wheel.
Unlinked Gain Adjustments
By default, the left and right gain levels are linked; moving one moves the other. You can adjust left and right gain independently by clicking on the Link icon below the meters. You can also offset the two channels and then relink them, so that later adjustments move both channels by the same amount. The faders will remember their offset, even if they are temporarily turned up or down all the way, so that when you bring the faders back to the middle the offset will be preserved.
Double-Click to Reset Faders
If the left and right faders are locked, double-clicking on either fader will reset both of them to 0 dB. If the left and right faders are unlocked and set at different levels, double-clicking a specific fader will reset it to 0 dB.
If the left and right faders are locked but had been previously been set to different levels, double-clicking on a fader will reset it to match the level of the other fader. Another double-click will reset both faders to 0 dB.
Setting the Scale of the Meters
You can further customize your metering by adjusting the scale of the input and output meters.
- Clicking the “(+)” sign below the meters will increase the zoom or resolution of the metering scale.
- Clicking the “(-)” sign will decrease or zoom out the resolution of the metering scale.
Auditioning Tools
Ozone’s audition section is located underneath the input and output meters on the right-hand side of the screen.
The following controls are available in the auditioning section:
Bypass
Toggles all Ozone processing on or off. When enabled, the module controls will be dimmed by an overlay to indicate that Ozone is bypassed.
Gain Match
You can change the behavior of Gain Matching in the Ozone options menu.
Sum to Mono
Collapses the stereo signal to mono, allowing you to check your song for mono compatibility. It is always important to check any stereo material for mono compatibility, and make sure that any processing you have done does not cause any elements of your mix to “cancel out” and disappear when listening in mono.
Swap Button
Swaps the left and right sides of the stereo signal.
