Mastering EQ with Modern Control
At its core, Ozone mastering EQ is a highly transparent parametric EQ built for critical listening. The standout addition is Transient/Sustain mode, which lets you shape the attack and body of sounds independently.
This makes it possible to tighten transients without thinning sustain, or enhance weight and tone without exaggerating peaks, a powerful tool for drums, full mixes, and mastering chains.
Support for Mid/Side processing allows precise stereo image control, making it easy to clean up low-end in the sides, add presence to the mid channel, or subtly widen high frequencies while keeping the centre focused.
Visual Feedback & Workflow
Ozone 12 EQ features a clean, intuitive interface with detailed visual feedback. The Delta button lets you audition exactly what the EQ is adding or removing, making fine-tuning faster and more confident.
This is especially useful for mastering and mix bus work, where subtle changes matter and over-processing is easy to miss.
Despite its pedigree, the plugin remains approachable. Bands are easy to place, curves are smooth and predictable, and the overall workflow encourages deliberate, informed decisions rather than guesswork.
