Ozone 6 is out.

I posted this once before with a link, but it must have been filtered. Anyway...Dynamic EQ is for advanced only and it doesn't have the reverb. The rest looks pretty good. The standalone feature being able to load many wav files looks to equal T-racks. I must admit to being a little disappointed. The gui is beautiful but without the dynamic eq it seems to lose some of it's luster.

Hey, what's up with all the automatic spam deletions? Something's amiss here...
 
[EDIT]
OK, here's the deal...the forum software sees a post that only contains a link, or only contains one word, e.g. "dupe", as spam, and will automatically delete it. I have restored the non-dupe deleted posts above.Apologies to backwoods and Eddie TX. If you ever see one of your posts incorrectly deleted as spam, let me or one of the other forum hosts know and we can restore it.
 

Thanks for sorting it out bitflipper :)

That's too bad. The dynamic EQ was the main selling point. But it's also good, because scratching Ozone 6 off the list narrows the field for what to spend that hundred bucks on that's burning a hole in my piggy bank. 

My thoughts exactly...Gas suddenly gone. I have plenty of verbs, but the EQ was going to have me thinking about it.

That's how you know you get your monies worth.
 
Otherwise you might think the old EQ was just as good as the new EQ.

What's the deal with the dynamic EQ?
 
It doesn't seem to have a ratio adjustment???

Many dynamic equalizers have a Range control rather than a ratio. Pro-MB works that way, as does the Waves C4/C6. I imagine Ozone's taking this approach.

Pro-MB also has a ratio control.

I haven't used it yet...but the new interface is VERY welcome


I'm not a green fan...so am very happy that it has changed.... =P

Jimbo, you should at least trial Advanced as it is very cool. Having "Insight" on a second monitor is very useful. You can just switch out and off effects and tracks and see what is going on in your mix in real time. It looks great too. You also get the option to use the effects separately.
 
I think you basic version guys can upgrade to advanced for 399 at the moment whereas for guys like me who have advanced 5 it will still cost 299. Maybe AudioDeluxe will be doing better deals during the grace period (till nov13).
 
Personally I never used the reverb so I won't be missing it if I choose to upgrade.
 
.....and ccLarry......welcome back, good to see u again :)

I am a little underwhelmed. It looks nice but I don't see much in it that is really all that much better from Ozone 4 or 5. I do think it will do what its supposed to do rather well but as an upgrade, I don't know. Perhaps given a little more time I will look more kindly on it.  

I am a bit baffled about a lot with Ozone 6... so much makes little sense now. I guess the coming months will reveal a better picture, but right now I would need a whole box of Raisin Bran to get any GAS back.

@cclarry, I hope you caught the vid Kenny posted in another thread for you. Good to see you back!

5 is the end of the Ozone line for me.
 
I also own 4.

To me, on the basic, they are just reinventing the wheel, or to be more precise, the colour of it.

The general consensus, here and elsewhere, is a big yawn for Ozone 6. Apparently, it's not just the reverb module that's been taken out; it sounds like the earlier limiter algorithms have also been removed. I haven't confirmed that, but it would be a deal-killer if true. Somebody said the gain-reduction histogram is also gone - that would certainly be a deal-killer as well.
